Supervisor
A user of the application with supervisor user privileges.
Suppression
A process where service-affecting alarms that have been identified as an "effect" are not
displayed to a user.
SYNC
Synchronizer
Synchronization Messaging
Synchronization messaging is used to communicate the quality of network timing, internal
timing status, and timing states throughout a subnetwork.
Synchronous
The essential characteristic of time scales or signals such that their corresponding significant
instances occur at precisely the same average rate, generally traceable to a single Stratum 1
source.
Synchronous Network
The synchronization of transmission systems with synchronous payloads to a master (network)
clock that can be traced to a reference clock.
Synchronous Payload
Payloads that can be derived from a network transmission signal by removing integral numbers
of bits from every frame. Therefore, no variable bit-stuffing rate adjustments are required to fit
the payload in the transmission signal.
SYSCTL
System Controller circuit pack
System Administrator
A user of the computer system on which the system's OS software application can be installed.
