Glossary

RIP	Routing Information Protocol. Specifies the routing protocol used between DSUs.
RLSD	Receive Line Signal Detect. See CD.
router	A device that makes decisions about the paths network traffic should take and forwards
	that traffic to its destination. A router helps achieve interoperability and connectivity
	between different vendor's equipment, regardless of protocols used.
RS-232	An EIA standard for the 25-pin DCE/DTE interface. Same as EIA-232.
RTS	Request to Send. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 105; an input signal
	(DTE-to-DCE).
RXC	Received Clock. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 115; an output signal
	(DCE-to-DTE).
RXD	Received Data. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 104; an output signal
	(DCE-to-DTE).
SDLC	Synchronous Data Link Control. A standard data link protocol.
SLIP	Serial Line Internet Protocol. A link layer protocol being used over serial lines by IP.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. A generic internet network management protocol
	that allows the device to be managed by any industry-standard SNMP manager.
subnet	An IP addressing standard in which a portion of the host address can be used to create
	multiple network addresses that are logically a subdivision of the network address.
subnet address	The subnet portion of an IP address. In a subnetted network, the host portion of an IP
	address is split into a subnet portion and a host portion using a subnet address mask. This
	allows a site to use a single IP network address for multiple physical networks.
subnet mask	An integer used with the IP address of the host to determine which bits in the host address
	are used in the subnet address.
synchronous	Data transmission that is synchronized by timing signals. Characters are sent at a fixed
	rate.
TCP/IP	Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Refer to IP.
TDM	Time Division Multiplexer. A device that enables the simultaneous transmission of multiple
	independent data streams into a single high-speed data stream.
Telnet	Virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows the user of one host
	computer to log into a remote host computer and interact as the user for that host.
TM	Test Mode. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 142; an output signal (DCE-to-DTE).
TXC	Transmit Clock. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 114; an output signal
	(DCE-to-DTE).
TXD	Transmit Data. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 103; an input signal
	(DTE-to-DCE).
UDP	User Datagram Protocol. An Internet protocol.
V.35	ITU-T standard for a high-speed, 34-pin, DCE/DTE interface.
WAN	Wide Area Network. A network that operates over long distances and spans a relatively
	large geographic area (e.g., a country).
