Term
Definition
Enable To turn on a feature in the module after the feature activation file
has
activated
the module to use the feature. See also Activate.
ESN Electronic Serial Number. The hardware address that the factory
assigns to the module for identification in the Data Link layer
interface of the Open Systems Interconnection system. This
address serves as an electronic serial number. Same as MAC
Address.
EthBusErr Field This field displays how many Ethernet bus errors occurred on the
Ethernet controller.
Ethernet
Protocol
Any of several IEEE standards that define the contents of frames
that are transferred from one network element to another through
Ethernet connections.
ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute
Fade Margin The difference between strength of the received signal and the
strength that the receiver requires for maintaining a reliable link. A
higher fade margin is characteristic of a more reliable link.
Standard operating margin.
FCC Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.A.
Field-
programmable
Gate Array
Array of logic, relational data, and wiring data that is factory
programmed and can be reprogrammed.
File Transfer
Protocol
Utility that transfers of files through TCP (Transport Control
Protocol) between computing devices that do not operate on the
same platform. Defined in RFC 959. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html
.
FPGA Field-programmable Gate Array. An array of logic, relational data,
and wiring data that is factory programmed and can be
reprogrammed.
Frame Timing
Pulse Gated
Field
Toggle parameter that prevents or allows the module to continue to
propagate GPS sync timing when the module no longer receives the
timing.
Free Space Path
Loss
Signal attenuation that is naturally caused by atmospheric
conditions and by the distance between the antenna and the
receiver.
Fresnel Zone Space in which no object should exist that can attenuate, diffract,
or reflect a transmitted signal before the signal reaches the target
receiver.
