The part of the physical plant consisting of the fiber-optic cabling and connectors interconnected to provide the transport function between two adjacent repeater locations, between a repeater location and an adjacent terminal location, or between two adjacent terminal locations. The optical section extends between the point on the optical fiber just after the transmitter optical connector and the point on the optical fiber just before the receiver optical connector.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of the message label that is used for message routing in the signaling network. It includes the destination point code, the originating point code, and the signaling link selection field.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of the cross-sectional area of an optical fiber within which the refractive index is everywhere greater than that of the innermost homogeneous cladding, by a specified fraction of the difference between the maximum refractive index of the core and the refractive index of the innermost cladding. Note 1: Artifacts of the manufacturing process, such as refractive index dip, are ignored in computing the points (refractive indices) of demarcation. Note 2: The core area is the cross-sectional area within which the refractive index is given by where n1 is the maximum refractive index of the core, n2 is the refractive index of the homogeneous cladding adjacent to the core, n3 is the defining refractive index, and m is a fraction, usually not greater than 0. 05.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of operating time during which a functional unit is tested for proper operation. Note: In a computer, the system test time may include the time for testing programs belonging to the operating system.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of e-commerce (electronic commerce) software that processes real-time credit card payments.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of digital equipment that controls the timing and sequencing of operations. 2. A person who prepares computer programs, i.e., writes sequences of instructions for execution by a computer.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of an FM receiver that extracts the desired signal from an incoming FM wave by changing frequency variations into amplitude variations.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of a switching system used by an attendant, i.e., an operator, to assist users in call completion and use of special services.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of a signaling system in which ringers associated with a particular line are connected across that line.
Industry:Telecommunications
The part of a common-channel signaling system that transfers signal messages and performs associated functions, such as error control and signaling link security.
