T1 ESF CSU ACE

Appendix D. Glossary

 

 

ping

An internet protocol standard that provides loopback on demand for any device in an IP network. One device “pings” another by sending a loopback request to the device's IP address.

point-to-point

Type of communications link that connects a single device to another single device, such as a remote terminal to a host computer.

PVC

permanent virtual circuit. A frame relay logical link, whose endpoints and class of service are defined by net- work management. Analogous to an X.25 permanent virtual circuit, a PVC consists of the originating frame relay network element address, originating data link control identifier, terminating frame relay network element address, and termination data link control identifier. Originating refers to the access interface form which the PVC is initiated. Terminating refers to the access interface at which the PVC stops. Many data network custom- ers require a PVC between two points. Data terminating equipment with a need form continuous communion use PVCs. See also DLCI.

remote configuration

A feature designed into ADTRAN DSU/CSU products that allow remote DSU/CSU to be configured from a local DSU/CSU or VT100 compatible terminal.

router

A device that supports LAN-to-LAN communications. Routers may be equipped to provide frame relay support to the LAN devices they serve. A frame-relay-capable router encapsulates LAN frames in a frame relay frames and feeds those frame relay frames to a frame relay switch for transmission across the network. A frame-relay- capable router also receives frame relay frames from the network, strips the frame relay frame off each frame to produce the original LAN frame, and passes the LAN frame on to the end device. Routers connect multiple LAN segments to each other or to a WAN. Routers route traffic on the Level 3 LAN protocol (e.g., the internet protocol address). See also bridge.
