Glossary

dry contacts

An electromagnetic device for remote or automatic control that is activated by variation in conditions of an electric circuit and that in turn operates other devices (such as switches) in the same or a different circuit.

DSX-1

Digital Signal Cross-connect Level 1. Any equipment that supports a set of parameters for cross-connecting DS-1 (either T-1 or E-1) lines.

E-1

Another name given to the CEPT (Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) digital telephony format. E-1 is a digital transmission channel that carries data at the rate of 2.048 Mb/s (DS-1 level).

ECC

Error correction code. The code and algorithms used by logic to facilitate error detection and correction.

EISA bus

Extended Industry Standard Architecture bus. A 32-bit industry-standard I/O bus used primarily in high-end PCs and servers.

EISA Configuration Utility (ECU)

A feature of the EISA bus that helps you select a conflict- free system configuration and perform other system services. The ECU must be run whenever you change, add, or remove an EISA or ISA controller.

environment variables

The global data structures that can be accessed from console mode. The setting of these data structures determines how a system powers up, boots the operating system, and operates.

Ethernet

The IEEE 802.3 standard local area network.

firmware

The software code stored in hardware.

initialization

The sequence of steps that prepare the computer system to start. Initialization occurs after a system has been powered up.

Interrupt request lines (IRQs)

The bus signals that connect an EISA or ISA module (for example, a disk controller) to the system so that the module can get the system's attention by means of an interrupt.

ISA

Industry Standard Architecture. An 8-bit or 16-bit industry-standard I/O bus, widely used in personal computer products. The EISA bus is a superset of the ISA bus.
