A network in which the clocks do not need to be synchronous or mesochronous. Synonym nonsynchronous network.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network in which the clocks do not need to be synchronous or mesochronous. Synonym nonsynchronous network.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network inserted in a circuit for the purpose of improving or modifying the waveform of signals.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network inserted in a system in order to increase the magnitude of one range of frequencies with respect to another. Note: Preemphasis is usually employed in FM or phase modulation transmitters to equalize the modulating signal drive power in terms of deviation ratio. The receiver demodulation process includes a reciprocal network, called a deemphasis network, to restore the original signal power distribution.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network interface card (NIC) designed to attach a client workstation to a token ring computer network and operate as a token-passing interface.
Industry:Telecommunications
A Network Modification is any type of planned equipment, software, trunk or facility activity which has the potential to significantly affect interconnected networks (e.g. Rearrangement of existing network elements, switch homing rearrangements, SS7 rehoming. )
Industry:Telecommunications
A network of data processing nodes that are interconnected for the purpose of data communication. 2. A communications network in which the end instruments are computers.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network of electrically interconnected rods, plates, mats, or grids, installed and connected, for the purpose of establishing a low-resistance contact with earth.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network of resistors to which four branches of a circuit may be connected to make them conjugate in pairs. Note: The primary use of a resistance hybrid is to convert between 2-wire and 4-wire communications circuits. Such conversion is necessary when repeaters are introduced in a 2-wire circuit.
Industry:Telecommunications
A network parameter related to an enforced event designed to occur at the conclusion of a predetermined elapsed time. 2. A specified period of time that will be allowed to elapse in a system before a specified event is to take place, unless another specified event occurs first; in either case, the period is terminated when either event takes place. Note: A time-out condition can be canceled by the receipt of an appropriate time-out cancellation signal. 3. An event that occurs at the end of a predetermined period of time that began at the occurrence of another specified event. The time-out can be prevented by an appropriate signal.
