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.

A command providing write access to SNMP MIB objects.
Serial Line Internet Protocol. Protocol for serial operation on an internet.
Simple Network Management Protocol. Protocol for open networking management.

remote host.
A notification message to the SNMP manager when an unusual event occurs on a network
device, such as a reinitialization.
Test Status branch of the CSU menu tree.
A term for a digital carrier facility used to transmit a DS1 formatted digital signal at
1.544 Mbps. It is used primarily in North America.
Transmit. To send signals from a device.
Transmit Data. Pin 2 of the EIA-232 interface that is used by the DTE to transmit data to
the modem. Conversely, the modem uses Pin 2 to receive data from the DTE.
Unavailable Seconds. A count of one-second intervals when service is unavailable.
User Datagram Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol describing how messages reach application
programs within a destination computer.
