Glossary-4
The face of the 3600 Series DSU that continually provides status information about
the DSU's operation and allows an operator to manage its operation. This is a
generic term used for both the standalone and carrier-mounted DSU models. See
shared diagnostic control panel (SDCP) for the Model 3611.
A method used by an NMS to extend diagnostic control to devices other than a
tributary 3610 DSU at a remote location. It uses one multiplexed channel to provide
an external 1200 bps asynchronous transparent path for the NMS's control channel.
An external digital or analog device, attached to the 3600 Series DSU, that is used
for dial restoral (also see DBM).
A sequence of up to 36 characters that the DBM can send into the dial network to
establish a call to a remote backup device. It consists of a telephone number and
may include other information, such as a callback directory pointer.
Dual In-line Package switch.
Telephone exchange service, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN or
dial network) that enables a telephone service user to access telephone lines without
operator assistance.
Diagnostic MicroComputer. The network management protocol used by Paradyne
ANALYSIS 6510 NMS.
Canadian Department of Communication.
A tributary site.
State of the EIA Data Set Ready lead (V.24 circuit 107).
State of the EIA Data Terminal Ready lead (V.24 circuit 108).
Electronic Industries Association. This organization provides standards for the data
communications industry to ensure uniformity of interface between DTEs and
DCEs.
A configuration option that is enabled in a tributary DSU to compensate for phase
differences between DDS network timing and the received timing of an analog
(dial) modem or DSU. It uses a buffer storage area of 16 bits.
A performance measurement reported during Digital Test or Transmit Test Pattern
that is defined as a second in which at least one error has been detected.
A special data pattern generated when signaling for minimum disruptive effect
between control and tributary diagnostic interactions, and when the network does
not support Switched mode network codes.
See extended network.
The extension of a circuit where the tributary DCEs are connected to an extended
control DCE (also called an extended circuit or an off-network extension).
A failure condition reported to the NMS when there is a break in communication
with one or more tributary.
