3910-A2-GN32-30
A part of the modem's memory that contains values that determine
the modem's operating characteristics.
A branch of the Top-Level menu that permits access to the DCP of
another modem.
A test that sends a signal to the remote modem to test the local
modem, the remote modem, and the circuit between them.
An asynchronous message (in either numbers or words) that the
modem sends to the DTE after executing or trying to execute a
command.
A function available when in Dial Backup mode that allows the
modem to switch to dial-line operation when currently on leased
lines.
A type of 6-position jack normally used with permissive dial
networks and telephone sets.
A type of 50-position jack normally used with permissive dial
networks providing the appropriate conductors for up to eight
telephone lines.
Shared Diagnostic Control Panel. An optional user interface that
attaches to the front of a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier. Its
functionality is very similar to that of the DCP. Installed in one
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier, it controls and monitors
modems in all the carriers in the cabinet. A single SDCP can
control up to 8 carriers, with a total of 128 modems.
Shared Diagnostic Unit. A circuit card that plugs into a dedicated
slot in the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier to provide the SDCP
and network management interfaces to the modems in the carrier.
It translates the network management protocol to the devices in the
carrier and routes incoming messages to the appropriate slots.
A data transmission channel with a lower signaling rate than the
primary channel. It is mostly used for modem diagnostics.
An SDCP key that allows the selection of a specific card slot in the
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier.
A way of transmitting data in which bits are sent sequentially one
at a time.
Registers that contain information affecting the modem
parameters. All S-Registers must be preceded by the AT prefix.
Sub-Network Health and Status. A display of alarm occurrences in
downstream modems.
Data transmission that is synchronized by timing signals.
Characters are sent at a fixed rate. This type of transmission is
more efficient than asynchronous transmission.
