Bit error rate measured over a sufficiently long period, for example, one month.
Industry:Telecommunications
Bit error rate that can be encountered for relatively short time periods (e.g., minutes,) due to temporary malfunctions of, for example, transmission equipment.
Industry:Telecommunications
Bits (binary digits) that are added at regular intervals to a digital signal at the sending end of a digital link and used to provide network functions such as framing, operations, administration, and maintenance.
Industry:Telecommunications
Bits that are assigned at the source and remain with the information payload until the payload reaches the sink and are used for functions associated with transporting the payload.
Industry:Telecommunications
Cable and wire plant, together with closures appropriate for the application, that is placed below ground in structures such as conduit or ducts.
Industry:Telecommunications
Calling from one station in which call identification is sent to signal automatically one or more remote stations and to establish links among them. Note 1: Selective calling may be used to un-mute the speakers at designated stations or to initiate a handshake for link establishment. Note 2: Selective calling is specified in ITU-R Recommendations for HF and VHF/UHF radio, generally for ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship, aircraft-to-aircraft, and aircraft-to-ground communications.
Industry:Telecommunications
Calling in which the elements of the selection signal are entered into the data network contiguously at the full data signaling rate. The selection signal is generated by the data terminal equipment. Note: A limit may be imposed by the design criteria of the network to prevent more than a permitted number of unsuccessful call attempts to the same address within a specified period.
Industry:Telecommunications
Calling- or called-user placement of a telephone set or other unit of telecommunications equipment in the quiescent state.
Industry:Telecommunications
Calling that enables a user to employ an address having fewer characters than the full address when initiating a call. Note: Communications network users may be allowed to designate a given number of abbreviated address codes. The allocation of the abbreviated address codes to a destination or group of destinations may be changed as required, by means of a suitable procedure.
Industry:Telecommunications
CANT is a trunk group control that allows traffic to be canceled before hunting for a circuit to a destination. Equipment vendors commonly provide the capability to implement this control on a percentage basis.
