Glossary

NTP	Network Time Protocol.
NVRAM	Non-Volatile RAM.
OpenLane DCE	A proprietary network management program used with HP OpenView that helps a network
Manager	administrator manage SNMP devices.
packet	A group of control and data characters that are switched as a unit within a communications
	network.
PDU	Protocol Data Unit. A message containing protocol-specific information.
PING	Packet InterNet Groper. Used for testing and debugging networks, PING sends an echo
	packet to the specified host, waits for a response, then reports the results of its operation.
	Used as a verb, to PING means to use the program to verify the accessibility of a device.
	The PING program is supported from both the DSL and MCC cards.
POTS	Plain Old Telephone Service. Standard telephone service over the PSTN with an analog
	bandwidth of less than 4 Hz.
POTS Splitter	A device that filters out the DSL signal and allows the POTS frequencies to pass through.
PPP	Point-to-Point Protocol. as specified by Internet RFC 1661.
proxy ARP	Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). A technique for using a single IP address for
	multiple networks. A device responds to ARP requests with its own physical address, then
	routes packets to the proper recipients.
PSTN	Public Switched Telephone Network. A network shared among many users who can use
	telephones to establish connections between two points. Also know as dial network.
RADSL	Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line. A technique for the use of an existing twisted-pair
	line that permits simultaneous POTS and high-speed data communication at adaptive
	symmetric and asymmetric rates.
rate adaption	The ability to automatically adapt when the port speed is lower than the line speed.
Router	A device that connects LANs by dynamically routing data according to destination and
	available routes.
Routing Table	A table used by a node to route traffic to another node in the multiplexer network.
RTT	Round Trip Time.
RTU	Remote Termination Unit. A DSL device installed at the customer premises.
s1c	Interface name of a DSL card's DSL port #1.
s1d	Interface name of a DSL card's DSL port #2.
s1e	Interface name of a DSL card's DSL port #3.
s1f	Interface name of a DSL card's DSL port #4.
Service Node	SN. Endpoint modem at the customer premise, also known as a Remote Termination Unit
	(RTU). There are two model types. See RADSL and MVL.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. Protocol for open networking management.
SNMP agent	An application level program that facilitates communication between an SNMP
	management system and a device. See NMS.
SNMP trap	A message sent to an SNMP manager to notify it of an event, such as a device being
	reset.
