Glossary
This glossary contains an alphabetical list of terms and abbreviations
related to the TaitNet DMR network and the TB9300 base station.
ADC Analog-to-Digital Converter. A device for converting an analog signal to a
digital signal that represents the same information.
AMBE+2™ Advanced Multiband Excitation. A voice compression technology patented
by Digital Voice Systems, Inc and used in the vocoders of DMR radios.
ANI Automatic Number Identification. A service that provides the receiver of a
call with a numerical identifier or alphanumeric label of the caller.
ARP Address Resolution Protocol is an IP protocol used to map IP network
addresses to the hardware addresses used by a data link protocol.
base station A radio receiver and transmitter that is located in a specific place (at a site)
that enables a two-way radio to communicate with a dispatcher or over a
larger range with other two-way radios. Specifically, Tait TB9300
equipment in a subrack.
battery protection
mode
A PMU enters battery protection mode when its DC input drops below the
user-configured power shutdown voltage. In battery protection mode, the
PMU will shut down the base station to protect the battery. The base station
will restart when the DC input reaches the user-configured startup voltage.
bearer network Telecom equipment that is used to carry user data.
BER Bit Error Rate. A measure of the quality of digital transmission, expressed
as a percentage. The BER indicates the proportion of errors to correctly
received digits in a received signal.
BSP Base Station Protocol. A proprietary protocol operating over IP for the
exchange of channel control messages between a base station and a
trunking node controller.
call A complete exchange of information between two or more parties. A call
requires a receive signal path and a transmit signal path. In conventional
systems, a call is an over, but in trunked systems, a call may be a
conversation, made up of a number of overs.
