Industry:Telecommunications
A device that controls and coordinates operations between teletypewriters and message switching centers.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device that controls the nonprinting functions of a printer at a terminal.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device that converts a digital input signal to an analog output signal carrying equivalent information.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device that converts an analog signal into a digital representation of the analog signal. Note: A digitizer usually samples the analog signal at a constant sampling rate and encodes each sample into a numeric representation of the amplitude value of the sample. 2. A device that converts the position of a point on a surface into digital coordinate data.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device that converts an analog signal to a digital signal that represents equivalent information. Synonyms analog-to-digital (A-D) coder, analog-to-digital (A-D) encoder.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device that converts information from one system of representation into equivalent information in another system of representation. Note: An example of a translator in telephony is the device that converts dialed digits into call-routing information. 2. A computer program that translates from one language into another language and in particular from one programming language into another programming language. Synonym translating program. 3. In FM and TV broadcasting, a repeater station that receives a primary station's signal, amplifies it, shifts it in frequency, and rebroadcasts it. 4. A device that converts one frequency to another.

Industry:Telecommunications
A device that detects an optical signal, converts it to an electrical signal, and processes the electrical signal as required for further use.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device that distributes incoming calls to a specific group of terminals. Note: If the number of active calls is less than the number of terminals, the next call will be routed to the terminal that has been in the idle state the longest. If all terminals are busy, the incoming calls are held in a first-in-first-out queue until a terminal becomes available.
