MIDAS is capable of managing bandwidth on 36, 54 or 72 MHz wide
transponders. The system maintains a record of all the owned bandwidth,
allocates bandwidth for circuits on demand and returns it to the free pool on
circuit termination. The bandwidth allocation granularity (channelization) and
allocation factor (carrier spacing) is user configurable during system setup.
Figure 5-12 illustrates a sample space segment configuration screen.
