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

 

United States.

frame relay

A switching interface that is designed to get frames from one part of the network to another

 

as quickly as possible.

full-duplex

The capability to transmit in two directions simultaneously.

HDLC
