TERM	DEFINITION

Management Information Base

MAU

ME

Media Access Control (MAC)

MIB

MIM

MOM

Management Information Base. A description of the data stored in a Network Element similar to a C structure. A MIB definition allows the EDACS Network Manager to read and write values in a Network Element.

Multistation Access Unit. A transceiver for LAN connections.

Management Element. An EDACS platform that configures EDACS NEs. Examples of MEs are CEC/IMC Manager, EDACS 4 Radio Programmer, EDACS Network Manager, System Manager, PI terminal, EDG terminal, etc.

A protocol governing a station’s access to a network.

See Management Information Base.

MASTR II/III Interface Module − The MIM connects an EDACS radio system to the CEC/IMC switch. EDACS radio systems include EDACS sites, simulcast systems, voted systems, CNI and SCAT systems.

MOnitor Module − The MOM is a CEC/IMC interface module that provides serial data connections for the CEC/IMC Manager (MOM PC) and the System Manager computers.

MOM PC	(see CEC/IMC Manager)
Multiple Access Unit (MAU)	For a Token Ring, a concentrator used to connect multiple stations to the ring.
multisite	A multisite is a network of multiple EDACS radio systems and possibly
	conventional radio systems all linked together for wide-area communication. In
	a multisite network, adjacent systems do not use the same radio frequencies.
	Each system networked may have a different number of working channels.
Native Proxy	Proxy that communicates with its agents via SNMP.
NE	Network Element. An EDACS platform that provides links in the EDACS
	network for either digital voice, analog voice, data, or control information. IT
	IS NOT A PLATFORM USED TO CONFIGURE EDACS NEs. Examples of
	NEs are IMC, GETC, Site Controllers, PIs, etc.
Network Address	The 32-bit IP address of a system.
Network Manager	The EDACS Network Manager is a UNIX workstation or server that provides
	EDACS administrators with a consistent, integrated view of the alarm status of
	their EDACS network.

Network Number

NIM

A network is a logical association of IMC, StarGate, CEC, and Remote CEC nodes. The Network Number identifies the nodes for which the traffic will be monitored by the Multisite Monitor.

Network Interface Module − Two or more IMC networks can be linked together for distributed multisite communications using a NIM at each IMC switch.
