Statistical Multiplexing: Interleaving the data input of two or more devices on a single channel or access line for transmission through a frame relay network. Interleaving of data is accomplished using the DLCI.

S/T interface: The interface on local ISDN equipment where the connection to an NT1 or a properly terminated ISDN line is made. The Netopia ISDN Router models 440-S/T and 430-S/T have S/T interfaces. See also NT1, U interface.

subnet: A network address created by using a subnet mask to specify that a number of bits in an internet address will be used as a subnet number rather than a host address.

subnet mask: A 32-bit number to specify which part of an internet address is the network number, and which part is the host address. When written in binary notation, each bit written as 1 corresponds to 1 bit of network address information. One subnet mask applies to all IP devices on an individual IP network.

SDLC (Synchronous Data Link Control): A link-level communications protocol used in an International Business Machines (IBM) Systems Network Architecture (SNA) network that manages synchronous, code-transparent, serial information transfer over a link connection. SDLC is a subset of the more generic HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control) protocol developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

T1: Transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps on T1 communications lines. A T1 facility carries a 1.544 Mbps digital signal. Also referred to as DS-1 (Digital Signal Level 1). See also E1 and channel.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): An open network standard that defines how devices from different manufacturers communicate with each other over one or more interconnected networks. TCP/IP protocols are the foundation of the Internet, a worldwide network of networks connecting businesses, governments, researchers, and educators.

telephone wall cable: 2-pair, 4-pair, or 8-pair, 22- or 24-gauge solid copper wire cable. Telephone wall cable is sometimes called telephone station cable or twisted-pair cable.
