Glossary

register	A part of the modem's memory that contains values that determine
	the modem's operating characteristics.
Remote	A branch of the Top-Level menu that permits access to the DCP of
	another modem.
remote loopback	A test that sends a signal to the remote modem to test the local
	modem, the remote modem, and the circuit between them.
result code	An asynchronous message (in either numbers or words) that the
	modem sends to the DTE after executing or trying to execute a
	command.
Return to Dial	A function available when in Dial Backup mode that allows the
	modem to switch to dial-line operation when currently on leased
	lines.
RJ11	A type of 6-position jack normally used with permissive dial
	networks and telephone sets.
RJ21	A type of 50-position jack normally used with permissive dial
	networks providing the appropriate conductors for up to eight
	telephone lines.
SDCP	Shared Diagnostic Control Panel. An optional user interface that
	attaches to the front of a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier. Its
	functionality is very similar to that of the DCP. Installed in one
	COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier, it controls and monitors
	modems in all the carriers in the cabinet. A single SDCP can
	control up to 8 carriers, with a total of 128 modems.
SDU	Shared Diagnostic Unit. A circuit card that plugs into a dedicated
	slot in the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier to provide the SDCP
	and network management interfaces to the modems in the carrier.
	It translates the network management protocol to the devices in the
	carrier and routes incoming messages to the appropriate slots.
secondary channel	A data transmission channel with a lower signaling rate than the
	primary channel. It is mostly used for modem diagnostics.
Select key	An SDCP key that allows the selection of a specific card slot in the
	COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier.
serial transmission	A way of transmitting data in which bits are sent sequentially one
	at a time.
S-Registers	Registers that contain information affecting the modem
	parameters. All S-Registers must be preceded by the AT prefix.
SubHS	Sub-Network Health and Status. A display of alarm occurrences in
	downstream modems.
synchronous transmission	Data transmission that is synchronized by timing signals.
	Characters are sent at a fixed rate. This type of transmission is
	more efficient than asynchronous transmission.
