A device that bridges the wireless link on one side to the wired network on the other.

A circuit-switched communication path intended to carry 3.1 KHz audio in each direction.

Address Resolution Protocol is the TCP/IP protocol that translates an Internet address into the hardware address of a network interface card.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a virtual circuit, fast packet technology. Traffic of all kinds (data, voice, video) is divided into 53-byte cells and conducted over very high speed media.

Adaptive Time Out is the time that must elapse before an acknowledgment is considered lost. After a time out, the sliding window is partially closed and the ATO is backed off.

Call	A connection or attempted connection between two terminal end points on a PSTN or ISDN; for
	example, a telephone call between two modems.
CHAP	Challenge Authentication Protocol is a PPP cryptographic challenge/response authentication protocol
	in which the clear text password is not passed in the clear over the line.
CLID	Calling Line ID indicates to the receiver of a call, the phone number of the caller.
CM	Cable Modem is usually a modem with an RF (cable) interface on one side and an Ethernet interface
	on the other. A cable modem might also have a telephone interface for “telco return,” which is used
	when only downstream capability exists in the cable plant.
CNR	Cisco Network Registrar—A network management application which includes a DHCP server and a
	DNS server.
Community String	A string used to authenticate the trap message sender (SNMP agent) to the trap recipient (SNMP
	management station).
Control Messages	Control messages are exchanged between LAC, LNS pairs, and operate in-band within the tunnel
	protocol. Control messages govern aspects of the tunnel and sessions within the tunnel.
CSG	Cable Systems Group is a billing systems company.
CSR	Customer Service Representative—the person you call to activate or obtain service for your account.
