CPE Customer Premises Equipment: This specifies equipment on the customer, or LAN, side.
CRC Cyclic Redundancy Checking: A method for checking errors in a dVoIP ATA transmission
between two computers. CRC applies a polynomial function (16 or 32-bit) to a block of dVoIP
ATA. The result of that polynomial is appended to the dVoIP ATA transmission. Upon receipt, the
destination computer applies the same polynomial to the block of dVoIP ATA. If the host and
destination computer share the same result, the transmission was successful. Otherwise, the sender is
notified to re-send the dVoIP ATA block.
