List of terms

nodal state parameter

Information that captures an aspect or property of a node.

node ID

A unique number used to identify a specific Nortel Multiservice Switch node within a network. See NN10600-060 Nortel Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/ 20000 Component Reference for more information.

Node Management System

A system that supports maintenance, monitoring, and testing of Nortel Multiservice Switch hardware and software, as well as the facilities for connecting Multiservice Switch devices to other network elements.

node name

A unique name used to identify a Nortel Multiservice Switch node within a network. The name is an ASCII string that contains a maximum of 12 characters. See NN10600-060 Nortel Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/20000 Component Reference for more information.

node NSAP address

The attributes nodePrefix and alternatePorsPrefix, provisioned under the Mod component, that are broadcast and stored in the Base Routing Topology Database. They are also referred to as node addresses. See NN10600-435 Nortel Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/20000 Operations: Path-Oriented Routing System for more information.

non-adjacent network identifier (NNID)

A numeric identifier assigned to a network that is indirectly connected to this network through one or more adjacent networks.

non-associated signaling

Uses separate logical paths and multiple nodes as signaling links.

non-branching node

Anode that cannot currently support additional branching points for point-to- multipoint calls.

non-elastic connection

An ATM connection type that cannot respond to changes in bandwidth over an ATM link by decreasing or increasing its data rate. If there is insufficient bandwidth, the connection is released. Compare with elastic connection (page 47).

non-facility associated signaling (NFAS)

A type of signaling used by PBXs whereby a single D-channel spans multiple DS1 or E1 links.
