ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
A standard protocol (IEEE 802. 3) for a 10-Mb/s baseband local area network (LAN) bus using carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) as the access method, implemented at the Physical Layer in the ISO Open Systems Interconnection--Reference Model, establishing the physical characteristics of a CSMA/CD network. Note 1: Ethernet is a standard for using various transmission media, such as coaxial cables, unshielded twisted pairs, and optical fibers. Note 2: The IEEE-802. 3 standard is based on a proprietary product with a similar name.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standard system for measuring and classifying the thickness of wire conductors; also referred to as the "Brown and Sharpe (B & S) " wire gauge.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standard test message that includes all the alphanumerics on a teletypewriter and also function characteristics (yyspace, figures shift, letters shift. ) Note: An example of a fox message is "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG'S BACK 1234567890. "
Industry:Telecommunications
A standard that describes one or more functional characteristics (such as code conversion, line assignments, or protocol compliance) or physical characteristics (such as electrical, mechanical, or optical characteristics) necessary to allow the exchange of information between two or more (usually different) systems or equipment. Note 1: An interface standard may include operational characteristics and acceptable levels of performance. Note 2: In the military community, interface standards permit command and control functions to be performed using communication and computer systems.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standard that governs the use of electrical wire, cable, and fixtures, and electrical and optical communications cable installed in buildings. Note: The NEC was developed by the NEC Committee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI,) was sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA,) and is identified by the description ANSI/NFPA 70-xxxX, the last four digits representing the year of the NEC revision.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standard wave file format (with a ". Wav" file extension) for digitally encoded and compresses music files (similar to the format used for CD music files. ) Note: MP3 files can be stored or downloaded from the Web or other media and played on suitable players.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standard, flexible method that (a) describes data structures for representing, encoding, transmitting, and decoding data, (b) provides a set of formal rules for describing the structure of objects independent of machine-specific encoding techniques, (c) is a formal network-management Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) language that uses human-readable notation and a compact, encoded representation of the same information used in communications protocols, and (d) is a precise, formal notation that removes ambiguities.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standardization document that characterizes the requirements of a standard or group of standards, and specifies how the options and ambiguities in the standard (s) should be interpreted or implemented to (a) provide a particular information technology function, (b) provide for the development of uniform, recognized tests, and (c) promote interoperability among different network elements and terminal equipment that implement a specific profile.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standardized communications link, approved by the Joint Staff, that is suitable for transmission of digital information, and is characterized by standardized message formats and transmission characteristics.
Industry:Telecommunications
A standardized Profile that specifies the application of certain POSIX base standards in support of a class of applications and does not require any departure from the structure defined by the POSIX. 0 Reference Model for POSIX systems. Note: A decision on which POSIX base standards form the basis of the POSIX SPs is still open.
