Network Clock Synchronization (NCS) System
A system used to synchronize the clocking of multiple ports and nodes in the Nortel Multiservice Switch network. NCS can be synchronized to the signal originating from a single internal source or to a source external to the network. NCS ensures the accurate transmission and reproduction of synchronous data (for example, BTDS uses NCS).
Network Engineering host
The Network Engineering host receives Nortel Multiservice Switch system statistics data in bulk data format from the Management Data Provider. The data is used by this host for planning and analysis of network operations.
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS)
The Telcordia standards for power cabling, grounding, and environmental safety, power, and operation interfaces for telecommunications equipment. The NEBS frame is used to house telecommunications equipment.
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) 2000 frame
A Nortel Networks universal frame used to house a Nortel Multiservice Switch device. The installation consists of two half NEBS frames bolted together back to back. The NEBS frame measures 600 mm in width by 600 mm in depth by 2125 mm in height.
Network File System (NFS)
A seamless file system that can operate over a whole network. It is based on Sun’s NFS protocol and operates on IP networks using IP and UDP or TCP.
networking
Networking allows for the transfer of packets from source to destination through Nortel Multiservice Switch routing, trunking, and traffic management systems.
