802.2 IEEE
Standards that govern the LLC within the Data Link 
layer of the OSI model. LLC frames carry user information between 
the nodes on a network and define the transmission of a frame between 
two stations. These standards are common across the various lower 
level standards within the Data Link and the Physical layers.
802.3 IEEE
Standards that govern the use of the CSMA/CD (Carrier 
Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) network access method 
used by Ethernet networks.
802.5 IEEE
Standards that govern the use of the token ring indicator 
and frame priority.
Adapter
A device, usually a user interface card, that physically con-
nects an end station to the network medium (for example, twisted pair, 
coaxial, fiber).
AIS (Alarm Indication Signal)
PRI alarm, also known as Keep 
Alive or Blue signal. An unframed all-ones signal sent to maintain 
transmission continuity.
AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion)
A method of digitally encoding data 
as electrical signals on a link.
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
An organization 
which coordinates, develops, and publishes standards used in the 
United States.
AT&T 5ESS
The name of a central office switch manufactured by 
AT&T. These switches use Custom (proprietary) or National ISDN-1 
(NI-1) software. ESS stands for Electronic Switching System.
Attenuation
Signal power lost in a transmission medium as the sig-
nal travels from sender to receiver.
B8ZS (Bipolar with 8 Zeros Substitution)
Α method of digitally 
encoding data on a link. A modified form of AMI used in the USA.
bandwidth
Capacity for transmitting data through a given circuit. 
Generally, the greater the bandwidth, the more information can be sent 
through a circuit during a given amount of time.
