A measure of the number of ones (marks, pulses) in relation to the total number of bits
transmitted.
Quasi-Random Signal Source. A test pattern simulating a random pattern of digital ones
and zeros used to simulate normal transmission.
Random-Access Memory. Read/write memory that is volatile and loses its contents when
power is removed.
A part of the device's memory that holds stored values.
Release branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.
An initialization of the device that occurs at power-up or in response to a reset command.
Request for Comments. One of the documents published by the Internet Engineering Task
Force that describe Internet protocols and policies.
Routing Information Protocol. A protocol for exchanging routing information.
An 8-position modular connector.
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.
Remote Loopback branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.
A device that connects LANs by dynamically routing data according to destination and
available routes.
An Electronic Industries Association's standard for a low-speed, 25-position, DCE/DTE
interface.
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.
An Electronic Industries Association's standard for a general-purpose, 37-position,
DCE/DTE interface.
Request to Send. A signal from the DTE to the device, indicating that the DTE has data to
send. V.24 circuit 105.
Receive. To obtain transmitted signals.
Receive Clock. V.24 circuit 115.
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.
Shared Diagnostic Control Panel. A feature that allows carrier-mounted devices to share
the same diagnostic control panel.
A test that checks most hardware components when power is applied to the device or a
reset is initiated.
A device that offers a specific service, such as database management, to a client.
Severely Errored Seconds. Usually defined as a second during which a specific number of
CRC errors was exceeded, or an OOF or other critical error occurred.
A command providing write access to SNMP MIB objects.
Superframe. Also known as D4 framing, the T1 transmission standard that specifies
12 frames to be used for frame synchronization and to locate signaling bits.
