Glossary

channel allocation

Assigning specific DS0 channels in the DSU/CSU to specific interfaces (network, DTE

 

Drop/Insert, etc.).

community name

An identification used by SNMP to grant an SNMP server access rights to a MIB.

configuration option

Device software that sets specific operating parameters for the DSU.

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment. Terminating equipment supplied by either the customer or

 

some other supplier that is connected to the telecommunications network (e.g., DSUs,

 

terminals, phones, routers, modems).

CRC

Cyclic Redundancy Check. A mathematical method of confirming the integrity of received

 

digital data.

CSA

Canadian Standards Association.

CSU

Channel Service Unit. The function of the DSU that protects the T1 line from damage and

 

regenerates the T1 signal.

CTS

Clear to Send. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 106; an output signal

 

(DCE-to-DTE).

data port

The electrical interface between the DSU/CSU and the synchronous data terminal

 

equipment.

DCE

Data Communications Equipment. The equipment that provides the functions required to

 

establish, maintain, and end a connection. It also provides the signal conversion required

 

for communication between the DTE and the network.

DCLB

Data Channel Loopback. Loops the data received from the network interface, for all DS0

 

channels allocated to the selected port, back to the network.

default

A preset value that is assumed to be correct unless changed by the user.

digital signal

A signal composed of discrete elements (zeros and ones) instead of a great multitude of

 

analog elements.

DS1/E1 MIB

Defines objects for managing the network and DTE Drop/Insert interfaces on the

 

DSU/CSU.

DSR

Data Set Ready. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 107; an output signal

 

(DCE-to-DTE).

DSU

Data Service Unit. Data communications equipment that provides an interface between the

 

DTE and the digital network.

DS0

Digital Signal Level 0.

DS0 channel

Assigning specific DS0 channels in the DSU/CSU to specific interfaces (network, DTE

allocation

Drop/Insert, etc.).

DTE

Data Terminal Equipment. The equipment, such as computers and printers, that provides

 

or creates data.

DTLB

Data Terminal Loopback. Loops the data received from the selected port, for all DS0

 

channels allocated to the port, back out the port.

DTR

Data Terminal Ready. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 108; an input signal

 

(DTE-to-DCE).

D4

The transmission standard that specifies 12 frames as a superframe that is used for frame

 

synchronization and to locate signaling bits.

EER

Excessive Error Rate. An error rate that is greater than the threshold in the DSU/CSU.
