CommunityString
Field
Control string that allows a network management station to access
MIB information about the module.
CPE
Customer premises equipment.
CRCErrorField
This field displays how many CRC errors occurred on the Ethernet
controller.
CRM
Customer relationship management system.
DataEncryption
Standard
Over-the-air link option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits.
Data Encryption Standard (DES) performs a series of bit permutations,
substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data.
DateofLastTransaction
A field in the data that the cmd show esn command generates from
data in the SQL database in the Bandwidth and Authentication
Manager (BAM) server. This field identifies the date of the most recent
authentication attempt by the SM. Expressed in the database output
as DLT.
Dell
A trademark of Dell, Inc.
DemilitarizedZone
Internet Protocol area outside of a firewall. Defined in RFC 2647. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2647.html
.
DES
Data Encryption Standard. An over-the-air link option that uses secret
56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit
permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of
data.
Desensed
Received an undesired signal that was strong enough to make the
module insensitive to the desired signal.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, defined in RFC 2131. Protocol
that enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP
parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots.
Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and
allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cyclone
system.
See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2131.html
. See also Static IP
Address Assignment.
Diffraction
Partial obstruction of a signal. Typically diffraction attenuates a signal
so much that the link is unacceptable. However, in some instances
where the obstruction is very close to the receiver, the link may be
acceptable.
