GL-6 Reference Guide

community strings: Sequences of characters that serve much like passwords for devices using SNMP. Different community strings may be used to allow an SNMP user to gather device information or change device configurations.

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check): A computational means to ensure the accuracy of frames transmitted between devices in a frame relay network. The mathematical function is computed, before the frame is transmitted at the originating device. Its numerical value is computed based on the content of the frame. This value is compared with a recomputed value of the function at the destination device. See also FCS (Frame Check Sequence).

CSV (Circuit Switched Voice): Also know as Data-Over-Voice, a feature that allows data calls to be placed or answered using ISDN speech grade bearer capabilities.

DCE (Data Communications Equipment): Term defined by both frame relay and X.25 committees, that applies to switching equipment and is distinquished from the devices that attach to the network (DTE). Also see DTE.

DDP (Datagram Delivery Protocol): Defines socket-to-socket delivery of datagrams over an AppleTalk internet.

DE (Discard Eligibility): A user-set bit indicating that a frame may be discarded in preference to other frames if congestion occurs, to maintain the committed quality of service within the network.

Frames with the DE bit set are considered Be excess data. See also Excess burst Size (Be).

DTE (Data Terminal Equipment): Term defined by both frame relay and X.25 committees that applies to switching equipment and is distinguished from the devices that attach to the DCE because pins 2 and 3 are reversed. Also see DCE.

default zone: When a Phase II EtherTalk network includes

more than one zone, all routers on that network must be configured to assign one of these zones as a default zone. The default zone is temporarily assigned to any Phase II EtherTalk node that hasn’t chosen a zone. The user may choose another zone by opening the Network Control Panel, selecting the correct physical connection, and then choosing a zone in the scrolling field displayed.
