ISDN Glossary
|
||
---- --------
|
||
|
||
|
||
Analog - As used for a word or data transmission,a continuously varying
|
||
electrical signal in the shape of a wave.
|
||
|
||
Bit Stream - Refers to a continuous series of bits(binary digits) being
|
||
transmitted on a transmission line.
|
||
|
||
CCITT - The initials of the name in French of the International Telegraph and
|
||
Telephone Con- sultative Committee.At CCITT representatives of tele-
|
||
communications authorities, operators of public networks and other interested
|
||
bodies meet to agree on standards needed for international in- terworking of
|
||
telecommunica- tion services.
|
||
|
||
Channel - (1) CCITT and ASA standard :A means of one-way transmis- sion.(2)
|
||
Tariff and common usage:UCA path for electrical transmission between two or more
|
||
points without common carrier-provided treminal equipment.Also called circuit,
|
||
line,link,path or facility.
|
||
|
||
CCSS - Common Channel Signalling System.A system whereby all sig- nalling for
|
||
a number of voice paths is carried over one common channel,instead of within
|
||
each individual channel.
|
||
|
||
Data Communications - In telephone company terminology,data communi- cations
|
||
refers to an end-to-end transmission of any kind of in- formation other than
|
||
sound (including voice),or video.Data sources may be either digital (i.e., a
|
||
computer) or analog (i.e., an elctrocardiogram transmitter).
|
||
|
||
Data Rate - The rate at which a chan- nel carries data,measured in bits per
|
||
second (bit/s),also know as "data signalling rate."
|
||
|
||
Digital - A method to represent information be discrete or indi- vidually
|
||
distinct signals,such as bits,as opposed to a continuously variable analog
|
||
signal.
|
||
|
||
Digital Transmission - A mode of transmission in which all infor- mation to be
|
||
transmitted is first converted to digital form and then transmitted as a serial
|
||
stream of pulses.Any signal - voice,data,television,can be converted to digital
|
||
form.
|
||
|
||
End-To-End Signalling - A mode of network operation in which the originating
|
||
central office(or station) retains control and sig- nals directly to each
|
||
successive central office(or PBX)as trunks are added to the connection.
|
||
|
||
Facsimile - A system for the trans- mission of images.The image is scanned at
|
||
the transmitter, reconstructed at the receiving station,and duplicated on some
|
||
form of paper.
|
||
|
||
High-Speed Data - A rate of data transfer ranging upward from 10,000 bits per
|
||
second.
|
||
|
||
ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network.ISDN is a planned hierarchy of
|
||
digital switching and transmission systems.Synch- ronized so that all digital
|
||
elements speak the same "language" at the same speed,the ISDN would provide
|
||
voice,data and video in a unified manner.
|
||
|
||
LADT - Local Area Data Transport. LADT is a method by which customers will
|
||
send and receive digital data over existing customer loop wiring.Dial-up LADT
|
||
will let customers use their lines for occasional data services;direct access
|
||
LADT will transmit simultaneous voice and data traffic on the same lines.
|
||
|
||
Signalling - The process by which a caller or equipment on the transmitting
|
||
end of a line in- forms a particular party or equipment at the receiving end
|
||
that a message is to be communicated.Signalling is also the supervisory
|
||
information which lets the caller know the called party is ready to talk, the
|
||
line is busy,or the called party has hung up.
|
||
|
||
Terminal - (1) A point at whcih information can enter or leave a communication
|
||
network.(2) Any device capable of sending and/or receiving information over a
|
||
communication channel.The means by which data are entered into a computer system
|
||
and by which the decisions of the system are communicated to the environment it
|
||
affects.
|
||
|
||
Videotext - Generic term for a class of two-way,interactive data distribution
|
||
systems with output typically handled as in teletext systems and input typically
|
||
accepted through the telephone or public data network.

Note: I have ommitted some of the text originally in this glossary because it
|

was quite common knowledge and needed no repition in this file. the text was:

|

Get the point?
|
||
|
||
This glossary is for the ISDN network and is a list of terms used within the
|
||
explantion and function of this system.
|
||
|
||
That's about all for this one....look for volumes ii and iii...
|
||
|
||
Some text was rearranged slightly to faclitate the writing of this file.

Part 2:
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
Bell Atlantic helps light the fuse to an explosive new technology
|
||
|
||
I have merely sumarised this article into the basic facts about ISDN.
|
||
|
||
In addition to instant facsimile transmission and video-conferencing, ISDN
|
||
features include:
|
||
|
||
|
||
-- centralized coordination and administration of Centrex phones within large
|
||
companies;
|
||
|
||
-- city-wide Centrex,allowing inter- building dialing of four-digit numbers
|
||
without a prefix;
|
||
|
||
-- reproduction by printer of onscreen images.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Besides implementing an aggressive digital modernization program in key
|
||
central offices throughout the region (221 COs will be digital by the end of the
|
||
year,compared to 459 in 1986),the company has introduced two product lines that
|
||
position ISDN in the mid-At lantic region: LADT(local area data transport) and
|
||
CO-LANs(central office- based local area network).
|
||
|
||
(LADT provides a LATA-wide public packet switching service,while CO-LAN
|
||
provides a switched terminal-to termi- nal or terminal-to-host data
|
||
communications service.Both services use a "data voice multiplexer"(DVM), which
|
||
squeezes more out of the transmission medium and allows a customer to trasmit
|
||
voice and data simultaneously to more than one re- ceiver over the existing
|
||
telephone wire.)
|
||
|
||
ISDN will help customers transmit high-speed facsimile and voice signals
|
||
and,at the same time,receive calls and data.
|
||
|
||
ISDN advances are confined to the U.S. shores,however.
|
||
|
||
Trials are scheduled to get underway in Japan,Great Britain,France,West
|
||
Germany,Italy and Sweden.(In Japan, ISDN is known as INS,or Information Network
|
||
System,and in Great Britain, it's called IDA,or Integrated Digital Access.)
|
||
|
||
get this line guys,true american bureaucratic bullshit and redtape that
|
||
regulates fucking everything....
|
||
|
||
"The movement to migrate to an ISDN network overseas is - for a variety of
|
||
regulatory and political reasons - outpacing efforts in the u.s."
|
||
|
||
In otherwords,cause of the fucking bureaucrats in office,the fucking japs and
|
||
shit are moving faster than we are even in the phone systems now cause we have
|
||
to many 'regulatory and political' bullshit laws...
|
||
|
||
that's all dudes
