Traffic traversing a ring normally carried in working channels, except in the event of a ring or span diversity routing, in which case it is restored on the protection channels.
Industry:Telecommunications
The time interval or phase angle by which one wave leads or lags another. Synonym phase offset.
Industry:Telecommunications
To search, without authorization, through residual data to acquire sensitive information.
Industry:Telecommunications
Within a building, an enclosure, i.e., channel, used to contain and protect wires, cables, or bus bars.
Industry:Telecommunications
The surface defined by the locus of points that have the same phase, i.e., have the same path length from the source. Note 1: The wavefront is perpendicular to the ray that represents an electromagnetic wave. Note 2: The plane in which the electric and magnetic field vectors lie is tangential to the wavefront at every point. Note 3: The vector that represents the wavefront indicates the direction of propagation. Note 4: For parallel, i.e., collimated, rays, the wavefront is plane. For rays diverging from a point, or converging toward a point, the wavefront is spherical. For rays with varying divergence or convergence, the wavefront has other shapes, such as ellipsoidal and paraboloidal, depending on the nature of the source.
Industry:Telecommunications
The transfer of information between functional units by means of data transmission according to a protocol. Note: Data are transferred from one or more sources to one or more sinks over one or more data links.
Industry:Telecommunications
The signaling link or consecutive links connected in tandem that are used to convey a signaling message from an originating point to its destination point.
Industry:Telecommunications
The time between the beginning of a frame and the end of that frame. Note: For fixed-length frames, at a fixed data rate, frame duration is constant.
Industry:Telecommunications
To gain unauthorized physical access by following an authorized person through a controlled door.
Industry:Telecommunications
