RS-232C
A set of standards specifying various electrical and mechanical characteristics for
interfaces between computers, terminals and modems.The RS-232-C standard,
which was developed by the EIA (Electrical Industries Association), defines the
mechanical and electrical characteristics for connecting DTE and DCE data
communications devices. It defines what the interface does, circuit functions and
their corresponding connector pin assignments.The standard applies to both
synchronous and asynchronous binary data transmission.
RSE
Remote Single-layer Embedded (Test Method): An abstract test method in which
the upper tester is within the system under test and there is a point of control and
observation at the upper service boundary of the Implementation Under Test (IUT)
for testing a protocol layer or sublayer which is part of a multi-protocol IUT.
RSFG
Route Server Functional Group: The group of functions performed to provide
internetworking level functions in an MPOA System. This includes running
conventional interworking Routing Protocols and providing inter-IASG
destination resolution.
RTC
Runtime Control: An SCSA definition. The mechanism by which one Resource
Object can influence the behavior of another. Typically used for things such as
terminating consitions an speed/volume control.

Read-Write: Attributes which are read-write can not be written by the PNNI
protocol entity. Only the Network Management Entity may change the value of a
read-write attribute. The PNNI Protocol Entity is restricted to only reading such
read-write attributes. Read-write attributes are typically used to provide the ability
for Network Management to configure, control, and manage a PNNI Protocol
Entity's behavior.
