CCITT

An advisory committee (Consultative Committee on International

 

Telephone and Telegraph) established by the United Nations to

 

recommend communications standards and policies.

CCITT V.22

A standard for modems operating full-duplex over dial networks at

 

1200 bps.

CCITT V.22bis

A standard for modems operating full-duplex over leased lines or

 

dial networks at 2400 bps.

CCITT V.27bis

A standard for modems operating over leased lines at 2400 or 4800

 

bps.

CCITT V.29

A standard for modems operating over leased lines at 4800, 7200,

 

or 9600 bps.

CCITT V.32

A standard for modems operating full-duplex with asynchronous

 

or synchronous data over leased lines or dial networks at 4800 or

 

9600 bps.

CCITT V.32bis

A standard for modems operating full-duplex with asynchronous

 

or synchronous data over leased lines or dial networks at 4800,

 

7200, 9600, 12000, or 14400 bps.

CCITT V.42

CCITT standard for error control protocol.

CCITT V.42bis

CCITT standard for data compression.

CCITT V.54

CCITT standard for local and remote diagnostic loopback tests.

channel

A path for electrical transmission between two or more points.

 

Also called a circuit, line, link, path, or facility.

character

A letter, figure, number, punctuation, or other symbol.

character echo

A way to check the accuracy of data transmission by sending to the

 

monitor (displaying) all the characters being transmitted.

circuit pack lock

A screw lock tab installed over a circuit card's latch release tab to

 

prevent the unit from being removed without a tool. It is used on

 

SDUs, modems, and filler panels.

Command mode

One of two modem operating modes. When in Command mode,

 

the modem accepts commands instead of transmitting or receiving

 

data.

configuration area

One of five areas within the Configure branch containing modem

 

settings. Configuration areas include Active (Operating), Active

 

(Saved), Customer 1, Customer 2, and Factory.

configuration option

Modem software that sets specific operating parameters for the

 

modem. Sometimes referred to as straps.

connector

An outlet on equipment and cables that provides a connection.
