Paradyne 336x E1 manual Bnc

ACCULINK 336x E1 NTU

BNC	Bayonet-Neill-Concelman. A bayonet-type connector for coaxial cables.
bps	Bits per second. Indicates the speed at which bits are transmitted across a data
	connection.
BPV	Bipolar Violation. In a bipolar signal, a ªoneº (mark, pulse) which has the same
	polarity as its predecessor.
byte	A small group of bits (usually 8) that is handled as a unit of data.
CAS	Channel-Associated Signaling. Time-slot 16 is reserved for signaling in a 16-frame
	multiframe system. With the exception of time-slot 16, the other time slots do not
	need to be directly connected as they are in Common-Channel Signaling (CCS).
CCITT	The International Consultative Committee for Telegraphy and Telephony. (It is now
	renamed as the ITU.)
CCS	Common-Channel Signaling. Time-slot 16 is reserved for signaling in a 2-frame
	multiframe system. The time slots must be directly connected so that the G.703
	DS0 channels are connected to the corresponding network DS0 channels (e.g., D1
	to N1, D2 to N2, etc.).
CD	Carrier Detect. The received line signal detector. V.24 circuit 109.
CEPT	The European Conference of Postal and Telegraph Authorities. A European
	standards organization.
channel	An independent data path.
channel allocation	Assigning specific DS0 channels in the E1 NTU to specific interfaces (HDSL
	Network, G.703 DTE, etc.).
CHAP	Challenge Authentication Protocol.
character	A letter, figure, number, punctuation, or other symbol.
CID branch	Customer Identification branch or the E1 NTU menu tree.
client	A device that receives a specific service, such as database management, from a
	server.
CLOCK IN interface	The external clock interface on the E1 NTU.
ClrReg branch	Clear Performance Registers branch of the E1 NTU menu tree.
Cnfig branch	Configuration branch of the E1 NTU menu tree.
coaxial cable	A transmission cable consisting of a conducting outer tube which encloses and is
	insulated from an inner conducting core.
coding	A technique used to accommodate the ones density requirements of E1 lines.
COMCODE	A code used when ordering parts.
COM port	The communications port on the E1 NTU.
community name	An identification used by SNMP to grant an SNMP server access rights to a MIB.
configuration	The arrangement of a system or network as defined by the characteristics of its
	functional units.
configuration option	Device firmware that establishes specific operating parameters for the device.
	Sometimes referred to as straps.
control unit	A unit that exerts control over another unit.
CPU fail	Central Processing Unit failure. A Self-Test Health message indicating a failure in
	the device's central processing unit.
