Synchronization in which the decision instant is brought into alignment with the received bit, i.e., the basic signaling element.
Industry:Telecommunications
Synchronization between two locations, in which phase error signals used to control the clock at one location are derived by comparing the phase of the incoming signals to the phase of the internal clock at that location. Synonym single-ended control.
Industry:Telecommunications
Software or hardware that is used to scrutinize and to display, record, supervise, control, or verify the operations of a system. Note: Possible uses of monitors are to indicate significant departures from the norm, or to determine levels of utilization of particular functional units. 2. A device used for the real-time temporary display of computer output data. Note: Monitors usually use cathode-ray-tube or liquid-crystal technology. Synonyms CRT, video display terminal, video display unit, visual display unit.
Industry:Telecommunications
Synchronization based on the start of a transmitted digital data unit, such as a bit, character, block, or frame.
Industry:Telecommunications
Switching of time-division multiplexed (TDM) channels by shifting bits between time slots in a TDM frame.
Industry:Telecommunications
Switching in which many processor-controlled switching units are distributed, usually close to concentrations of users, and operated in conjunction with a host switch. Note: Distributed switching provides improved communications services for concentrations of users remote from the host switch, and reduces the transmission requirements, i.e., the traffic, between such concentrations and the host switch.
Industry:Telecommunications
Switching in which digitized signals are switched without converting them to or from analog signals.
Industry:Telecommunications
Switching equipment designed, designated, or used to connect circuits between users for real-time transmission of analog signals.
Industry:Telecommunications
Switching equipment actuated by electrical impulses generated by a dial or key pulsing arrangement.
Industry:Telecommunications
