Verilink Access System 2000: Basics
clock
An oscillator-generated signal that
provides a timing reference for a
transmission link.
clocking options
Selectable variables that determine
where a component of a digital
service will receive clock from.
coaxial cable
An insulated central conducting
wire wrapped in another cylindrical
conducting wire; usually wrapped
in an additional insulating layer
and an outside protective layer.
code violation
Violation of a line coding rule, for
instance a bipolar violation.
code violation—line (CV-L)
In an
line coding signal, this is a
bipolar violation (BPV)
occurrence.
code violation—path (CV-P)
When
(D4) framing is used, this
is a framing error. When ESF
framing is used, this is a CRC-6
error.
codec
An encoder/decoder device, often
used with video.
Committed Burst Size (Bc)
In frame relay networks, the
maximum data size in bits that the
service provider agrees to transfer
under normal conditions during a
certain time interval (Tc).
Committed Information Rate (CIR)
In frame relay networks, the
average rate in bit/s that an end-
user plans to transfer information
under normal conditions.
common channel signaling (CCS)
A network architecture which uses
Signaling System 7 protocol for the
exchange of information between
telecommunications nodes and
network service provider on an
out-of-band basis. An E1 switched
network signaling option which
allows information channels access
to timeslot 16 signaling on a first-
come, first-served basis.
connector
A physical interface, such as DB-
25, typically with male and female
components.
connector interface modules (CIM)
Rear connecting modules that
connect to the Access System
2000 application modules. CIMs
provide the network, DTE, external
timing and often management
connection interfaces.
controlled slip second
A time interval during which there
was a timing slip and no data or
signal was lost.
