PNC
Port Network Connectivity—an alternative to either the direct-connect or center stage switch
configurations for connecting the processor port network (PPN) to one or more expansion port
networks (EPNs).

networks (EPNs).
PPN
Processor port network
PRI
IDSN primary rate interface
PSTN
Public switched telephone network
PVC
Permanent Virtual Circuit—a virtual circuit that provides the equivalent of a dedicated private line
service over a packet switching network between two DTEs (the path between users is fixed). A
PVC uses a fixed logical channel to maintain a permanent association between the DTEs. Once a
PVC is defined, it requires no set-up operation before data is sent and no disconnect operation
after data is sent. ATM-CES uses PVCs as the basis for the permanent connections, sometimes
called virtual trunking.
