Glossary

factory defaults	A predetermined set of configuration options containing the optimum settings for operation
	on asynchronous dial networks.
FAS	Frame Alignment Signal. A loss of frame (LOF) error detection.
FAW	Frame Alignment Word. A loss of synchronization error detection.
FCC	Federal Communications Commission. The Board of Commissioners that regulates all
	electrical communications that originate in the United States.
FDL	Facility Data Link. The selected framing bits in the ESF format used in a wide-area link that
	are used for control, monitoring, and testing.
FEBE	Far-End Block Error. Block errors reported by remote equipment.
frame	One identifiable group of data bits that includes a sequence of bits for control and
	identification information.
framer	A program or device that assembles and disassembles frames.
frame relay	A high-speed connection-oriented packet switching WAN protocol using variable-length
	frames.
FTP	File Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP standard protocol that allows a user on one host to

	transmission over copper wire for T1 and E1 services.
HDSL2	High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line, 2nd generation. An ANSI specification for high
	bandwidth, bidirectional transmission over a single twisted pair.
IP	Internet Protocol. An open networking protocol used for internet packet delivery.
IP address	Internet Protocol address. The address assigned to an internet host.
ITU	International Telecommunications Union. The telecommunications agency of the United
	Nations, established to provide standardized communications procedures and practices.

LAN	Local Area Network. A privately owned and administered data communications network
	limited to a small geographic area.
LED	Light Emitting Diode. A light or status indicator that glows in response to the presence of a
	certain condition (e.g., an alarm).
LIU	Line Interface Unit. A physical layer data transmitter and receiver.
LLB	Line LoopBack. A test in which the received signal on the network interface is looped back
	to the network without change.
LOF	Loss of Frame. Occurs when a DS1 terminal is unable to synchronize on the DS1 signal
	for some interval.
LOFC	Loss Of Frame Count. The number of LOFs declared.
