Two methods are provided to access a remote unit; the first method is modem-based and the second method uses IP. Within the IP method, three different applications can be used: 1) LAN-Based configuration using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), 2) Telnet as a client application, or 3) a standard Web browser on the Internet.

Frame relay was partially based on ISDN’s data link layer protocol (LAPD). Frame relay can be used to transmit across ISDN services offering circuit-switched connection at 64K bps and higher speeds.
  • Page 191 “availability” (100% minus % available = % outage). Out-of-band: Signaling that is separated from the channel carrying the information (e.g., the voice/data/video signal is separate from the carrier signal). Dialing and various other “supervisory” signals are included in the signaling element. Contrast “In-band” signaling. RF300E/RF310E...
  • Page 192 RASFinder RF300E/RF310E User Guide Out of Frame (OOF): A T1 alarm condition that is logged on the loss of 2, 3 or 4 of 5 consecutive FT framing bits. Packet: 1. In data communication, a sequence of binary digits, including data and control signals, that is transmitted and switched as a composite whole.
  • Page 193 (e.g., the user premises and the telco CO). Central office signals to the user premises can include ringing, dial tone, speech signals, etc. Signals from the user’s telephone can include off-hook, dialing, speech to far-end party, and on-hook signals. In-band signaling techniques include pulse and tone dialing. With common channel signaling, information is carried out-of- band. RF300E/RF310E...
  • Page 194 RASFinder RF300E/RF310E User Guide Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): TCP/IP protocol that allows network management. Simultaneous Voice Data (SVD): A technology for letting a user send data via a modem, and use a handset to talk to another user at the same time over the same connection. The alternative, making a second call, can be expensive or even impossible.
  • Page 195 Virtual Circuit: A logical connection. Used in packet switching wherin a logical connection is established between two devices at the start of transmission. All information packets follow the same route and arrive in sequence (but do not necessarily carry a complete address). RF300E/RF310E Glossary...
  • Page 196 RASFinder RF300E/RF310E User Guide Wide Area Network (WAN): 1. A network that provides communication services to a geographic area larger than that served by a local area network or a metropolitan area network, and that may use or provide public communication facilities.
