Digital Nonsecure Voice Terminals (DNVTs) are digital field telephones using a 4-wire interface with signaling at 16kbps or 32kbps. Each wire pair carries data in one direction, i.e. one pair of binding posts at each end is a transmit output, and the other is a receive input. The devices may be powered over the 4-wire interface (common battery mode), or may be locally powered (local battery mode) when used in pairs without a telephone exchange. Not all DNVTs support local battery mode mode.
Tactical DNVTs include:
DNVTs are intended to be connected to telephone exchanges (and in some cases, to each other) with WF-16/U two-pair field telephone wire. DNVTs are compatible with digital telephone exchanges such as the AN/TTC-39 TRI-TAC family.
Signaling and operating states are paritally documented in IEEE Transactions on Communications, Vol. COM-29, No. 11, November 1981, pages 1609 through 1614:
