ESNDataTable

Table in which each row identifies data about a single SM. In tab-

separated fields, each row stores the ESN, authentication key, and

QoS information that apply to the SM. The operator can create and

modify this table. This table is both an input to and an output from the

Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) SQL database, and

should be identically input to redundant BAM servers.

/etc/services

File that stores telnet ports on the Bandwidth and Authentication

Manager (BAM) server.

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.

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.

FeatureActivationKey

Software key file whose file name includes the ESN of the target

Cyclone module. When installed on the module, this file activates the

module to have the feature enabled or disabled in a separate operator

action.

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Spreading

Transmission of a beacon in only frames where the receiver expects a

beacon (rather than in every frame). This avoids interference from

transmissions that are not intended for the receiver.

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.
