The MTAS-192 provides two (2) four-wire Test Access Paths (TAPs), with monitor,
bridged, look-in, and look-out functionality. The four-wire TAP provides separate look-in
and look-out pairs with access controlled by Transaction Language 1 (TL1) messages
sent over an Ethernet or an RS-232 serial port directly to each MTAS-192 System.
