Motorola SVG2500 manual Bcp, Ber, Bpkm

17 GLOSSARY
TERM	DEFINITION
authorization	Part of the process between a CMTS and the cable modem or
	gateway to enable Baseline Privacy.
auto-MDIX	Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover detects
	and corrects cabling errors by automatically reversing the
	send and receive pins on any port. It enables the use of
	straight-through wiring between the SVG2500 Ethernet port
	and any computer, printer, or hub.

B

TERM	DEFINITION
bandwidth	The transmission capacity of a medium in terms of a range of
	frequencies. Greater bandwidth indicates the ability to transmit
	more data over a given period of time.
Baseline	An optional feature that encrypts data between the CMTS and
Privacy	the cable modem or gateway. Protection of service is provided
	by ensuring that a cable modem or gateway, uniquely identified
	by its MAC address, can only obtain keys for services it is
	authorized to access.
Baud	The analog signaling rate. For complex modulation modes, the
	digital bit rate is encoded in multiple bits per baud. For example,
	64 QAM encodes 6 bits per baud, and 16 QAM encodes 4 bits
	per baud.
BCP	Binary Communication Protocol
BER	The bit error rate is the ratio of the number of erroneous bits or
	characters received from some fixed number of bits transmitted.
binary	A numbering system that uses two digits, 0 and 1.
bit rate	The number of bits (digital 0s and 1s) transmitted per second in
	a communications channel. It is usually measured in bits per
	second bps.
BPKM	Baseline Protocol Key Management encrypts data flows
	between a cable modem or gateway and the CMTS. The
	encryption occurs after the cable modem or gateway
	registers to ensure data privacy across the RF network.
bps	Bits per second
