communications industry to ensure uniformity of interface between DTEs and DCEs.

EIA-232

The EIA's standards defining the 25-pin interface between the DTE and DCE.

Enterprise MIB

MIB objects unique to Paradyne devices.

excessive BPV

An excessive bipolar violation condition results when at least one invalid bipolar violation

 

has occurred every 20 milliseconds for 2 seconds.

factory defaults

A predetermined set of configuration options for general operation.

FCC

Federal Communications Commission. Board of Commissioners that regulates all U.S.

 

interstate, intrastate, and foreign electrical communication systems that originate from the

interface

A shared boundary between functional units.

IP

Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP standard protocol that defines the unit of information passed

 

across an Internet and provides the basis for packet delivery service. IP includes the ICMP

 

control and error message protocol as an integral part. The entire protocol suite is often
