DLT
Date of last transaction. 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.
DMZ
Demilitarized Zone as defined in RFC 2647. An Internet Protocol area
outside of a firewall. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2647.html
.
Dynamic Frequency

interference from other systems, notably radar systems, and to avoid
co-channel operation with these systems. See also Region Code.
Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol
See DHCP.
Electronic Serial
Number
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.
Element Pack
A license for Prizm management of a multi-point sector and covers the
AP and up to 200 SMs or a backhaul link.
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.
Engine
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) interface to the AP and
SMs. Unique sets of commands are available on this interface to
manage parameters and user access. Distinguished from SSE. See
also SSE.
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.
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
