Description
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol; Internet standard protocol developed
to manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs, and so
forth) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to manage
network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network
growth.
SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol.
Source / Destination
Terms used to describe the end points (locations) for an IP data packet.
Standby NIM
Role of a NIM that is either synchronized with or in process of synchronizing
with the Active NIM and can take over the role of Active NIM. The Standby
NIM can be either the Primary or Secondary NIM.
STL
Studio to Transmitter Links.
Stratum-1
A radio receiver which receives time from Stratum-0, the United States Naval
Observatory (USNO) clock.
Stream
An IP / UDP / RTP connection and subsequent stream of data packets.
Switch Back
The process in which the Active NIM in the Secondary slot (slot 15) fails and
the NIM in the Primary slot (slot 17) takes over as the Active NIM.
Synchronized State
This state indicates that the Standby NIM is synchronized with the Active
NIM’s configuration database.
syslogd
syslog daemon or syslog server; the receiver of a small textual message (less
than 1024 bytes) in syslog protocol, which is a protocol for forwarding log
messages through an IP network.
T1/E1
Used to refer to the user-selectable T1 or E1 ports on the NIM-1 module.
T1/E1 A
T1/E1 Port A
T1/E1 B
T1/E1 Port B
T1/E1 Timing
Mode of timing in which one T1/E1 port receiver is used to generate the
reference timing for the NetXpress system.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol; data communication standard for
interconnection of dissimilar networks and computing systems.
TDM
Time Division Multiplexing; method of mixing multiple signals on a single
channel by transmitting in tightly controlled time slots.
TDM Bus
Intraplex TDM bus.
TDM Bus 1
Intraplex TDM bus (slots 1 to 6)
TDM Bus 2
Intraplex TDM bus (slots 7 to 12)
TDM Bus 1A
Intraplex TDM bus (slots 1 to 6, terminal mode)
TDM Bus 1B
Intraplex TDM bus (slots 1 to 6, DI-B mode)
TDM Bus 2A
Intraplex TDM bus (slots 7 to 12, terminal mode)
TDM Bus 2B
Intraplex TDM bus (slots 7 to 12, DI-B mode)
Telnet
Internet communications protocol which enables a computer to work as a
terminal while functioning from a remote computer.
Time slot
Refers to a TDM time slot. E1 time slots are 0 to 31 (time slot 0 is reserved
for framing, time slot 16 is reserved for CAS signaling). T1 time slots are 1 to
24.
