SNMP
Simple network management protocol. A control and reporting scheme widely 
used to manage devices from various vendors. SNMP operates on top of the Inter-
net protocol. 
SONET 
Synchronous optical network. A standard format for transporting a wide range of 
digital telecommunications services over optical fiber. SONET is characterized by 
standard line rates, optical interfaces, and signal formats.
SR
Data set ready. A signal on the DTE interface that indicates if a connection exists 
and if the devices are ready to start handshaking control signals so communica-
tions can begin.
synchronous
Communications in which the timing is achieved by sharing a single clock. Each 
end of the transmission synchronizes itself with the use of clocks and information 
sent along with the transmitted data.
T
T1
Transmission rates of 1.544 Mbps are available on T1 communication lines. Also 
referred to as digital signal Level 1 (DS-1). See also 
.
T3
Transmission rates of 44.736 Mbps are available on T3 communication lines. 
Also referred to as digital signal Level 3 (DS-3). 
TDM
Time division multiplexing. A technique for transmitting two or more signals at 
the same time over a single communication medium. This is accomplished by 
allocating channels to the bandwidth for specific increments of time.
Telnet
The standard TCP/IP remote login protocol specified in RFC-854.
transceiver
A combination of transmitter and receiver, providing both output and input inter-
faces within a single device.
transmission
The signaling of data over telecommunications channels.
V
V.35
A standard for trunk interface between a network access device and a packet 
network that defines signaling for data rates greater than 19.2 kbps. 
VT100
A non intelligent terminal or terminal emulation mode used for asynchronous 
communications. Used to configure the MX2800.
W
WAN
Wide area network. A communications network serving geographically separate 
areas. A WAN typically extends a LAN outside the building to link to other LANs 
over telephone lines.
