GLOSSARY

Async-Sync PPP Conversion

Asynchronous to synchronous PPP conversion. The 3C882 ISDN modem converts asynchronous PPP into synchronous (HDLC-based) PPP that can be transported in ISDN

B channels to communications servers that have integrated ISDN BRI, PRI, or T1 access lines.

AT commands

ATtention Codes. AT commands are used to conﬁgure and operate the 3C882 ISDN modem. These commands can be sent either automatically or manually through your communications software.

Autobaud

Automatic baud rate detection. Autobaud automatically detects the baud rate of your computer’s serial port.

B channel

Bearer channel. In ISDN communications, a B channel transmits data and voice trafﬁc at a rate of up to 64 Kbps.

BRI

Basic Rate Interface. A BRI line is one of two access methods to the ISDN. Each BRI consists of two 64 Kbps B channels and one 16 Kbps D channel for each ISDN line.

Call Drop

Call Drop is a supplementary voice feature that allows you to remove the last caller added to a conference.

Call Routing

Call Routing allows you to associate a speciﬁc telephone number to a speciﬁed analog port.
