Glossary
G-5
equalization
ÑThe spacing and operation of ampliÞers so that the gain pro-
vided by the ampliÞer, per transmission frequency, coincides with the signal
loss at the same frequency; circuitry that compensates for the differences in
attenuation at different frequencies.
F
far end
Ñ The unit or units remote from the user.
FE (Framing Errors)
ÑOccurs when the end of a frame is not detected where
it should be.
FG (Frame Ground)
ÑA signal from DTE to
DSU/CSU.
fractional bandwidth DTE loopbackÑ
A loopback test that loops back the sig-
nal at the network interface. See also
l
oopback.
Fractional T1
ÑA service that provides less than full
T1
capacity (one or
more
64 K
bps channels are provided).
frame
Ñ A group of bits sent serially over a communications channel. The
basic data transmission unit employed with bit oriented protocols.
Framing Error Event
ÑAn invalid frame identiÞed by the Frame Check Sum
(FCS).
frame relay
ÑA high-speed packet switching protocol used for wide area net-
works (WANs); faster than traditional
X.25
networks because it is designed
for today's reliable circuits and performs less rigorous error detection. Frame
relay networks use bandwidth only when there is trafÞc to send. They do not
support voice.
framing
Ñ A technique which separates incoming bits into identiÞable groups
to enable the receiving device to recognize and reconstruct them.
frame ground shield
Ñ A metallic layer acting as a shield, consisting of tape,
braid, wire or sheath and surrounding insulated conductors in a cable. The
frame ground shield may be the cableÕs metallic sheath or the metallic layer
inside a nonmetallic sheath. It reduces stray electrical Þelds, prevents outside
electrical interference, drains off current induced by lightning and provides
for safety of personnel.
frequency
ÑThe number of repetitions per unit time of a complete waveform.
The number of complete cycles per unit of time, usually expressed in Hz.
full bandwidth DTE loopback
ÑA loopback test that loops back the signal at
the multiplexer. See also
loopback.
