Protocol, Ptrns branch, Pulse density, Register

Glossary

PRM	Performance Report Messages. Messages indicating the current state of a T1 line as
	specified by ANSI-T1-403.
protocol	A set of rules that determines the behavior of devices in achieving and maintaining
	communication.
PSTN	Public Switched Telephone Network. A network shared among many users who can use
	telephones to establish connections between two points. Also known as dial network.
Ptrns branch	Test Patterns branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.
pulse density	A measure of the number of ones (marks, pulses) in relation to the total number of bits
	transmitted.
QRSS	Quasi-Random Signal Source. A test pattern simulating a random pattern of digital ones
	and zeros used to simulate normal transmission.
RAM	Random-Access Memory. Read/write memory that is volatile and loses its contents when
	power is removed.
register	A part of the device’s memory that holds stored values.
Rel branch	Release branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.
reset	An initialization of the device that occurs at power-up or in response to a reset command.
RFC	Request for Comments. One of the documents published by the Internet Engineering Task
	Force that describe Internet protocols and policies.
RIP	Routing Information Protocol. A protocol for exchanging routing information.
RJ48C	An 8-position modular connector.
RLB	Repeater LoopBack. Loops the signal being sent to the network back to the DTE
	Drop/Insert and data ports after it has passed through the framing circuitry of the device.
Rlpbk branch	Remote Loopback branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.
router	A device that connects LANs by dynamically routing data according to destination and
	available routes.
RS-232	An Electronic Industries Association’s standard for a low-speed, 25-position, DCE/DTE
	interface.
RS-232-like MIB	RFC 1659, which defines objects for managing RS-232-type interfaces (e.g., RS-422,
	RS-423, etc.) and supports synchronous data ports and management communication ports
	on the device.
RS-449	An Electronic Industries Association’s standard for a general-purpose, 37-position,
	DCE/DTE interface.
RTS	Request to Send. A signal from the DTE to the device, indicating that the DTE has data to
	send. V.24 circuit 105.
RX	Receive. To obtain transmitted signals.
RXC	Receive Clock. V.24 circuit 115.
RXD	Received Data. Pin 3 of the EIA-232 interface that is used by the DTE to receive data from
	the modem. Conversely, the modem uses Pin 3 to transmit data to the DTE.
SDCP	Shared Diagnostic Control Panel. A feature that allows carrier-mounted devices to share the
	same diagnostic control panel.
self-test	A test that checks most hardware components when power is applied to the device or a
	reset is initiated.
