DHCP

 

 

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a network configuration

 

that allows maintenance to be performed from a central site rather than

 

by end users.

download

To transfer data from a larger "host" system to a smaller "client" system’s

 

hard drive or other local storage device.

Drop & Insert

As applied to T1, D&I refers to the process whereby one DS0 channel is

(D&I)

demultiplexed out of the DS1 synchronous bit stream at one port of a

 

digital channel back and another DS0 inserted back in.

DS0

Digital Signal Zero, the standard bandwidth for digitized voice channels.

DS1

Digital Signal Level 1. A digital signal transmitted at a nominal rate of

 

1.544 Mbps.

DS3

Digital Signal Level 3. A digital signal transmitted at a nominal rate of

 

44.736 Mbps.

DSU/CSU

Data Service Unit/Channel Service Unit. A device terminating a digital

 

channel on a customer’s premises where it performs line coding, line

 

conditioning and equalization functions while responding to the receipt

 

of loopback codes sent from the Central Office (CO) A DSU/CSU sits

 

between the digital line coming in from the CO and devices such as

 

channel banks or data communications devices.

Dual Tone Multi- Frequency (DTMF)

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Dual Tone Multi-Frequency is the system used by touch-tone telephones. DTMF assigns a specific sound frequency, or tone, to each key so that it can easily be identified by a monitoring microprocessor. That frequency is then translated into a usable analog or digital signal. This is commonly known as Touch Tone.

A network configuration that allows maintenance to be performed from a central site rather than by end users.
