marshalling
duration
The length of time that the voice stream needs to travel from the central
voter to the furthest channel group member. The fixed marshalling duration
parameter includes the time needed to fill the transmit buffer to the required
level.
master The channel group master is the member with the control connection to the
trunking site controller.
multicast group The group of hosts associated with a specific IP multicast address.
multicast IP
address
An IP address that refers to a group of hosts rather than a single host. These
hosts will all accept packets with this IP address.
mute Prevents audio from being passed to the radio’s speaker.
NAC Network Access Code. The 12 most significant bits of the network
identifier information that precedes every packet sent on the CAI. The
NAC identifies which network the data belongs to, allowing base stations
and mobiles to ignore packets belonging to interfering networks.
NAT Network Address Translation allows the use of a single IP address for a whole
network of computers. A NAT sits between the public Internet and the
network it serves, and works by rewriting IP addresses and port numbers in
IP headers on the fly so the packets all appear to be coming from (or going
to) the single public IP address of the NAT device instead of the actual
source or destination.
network element Any device that is network-connected. A Tait digital network consists of a
number of network elements. The TB9400 base station is a network
element designed and manufactured by Tait.
NTP Network Time Protocol is a protocol and software implementation for
synchronizing the clocks of computer systems across a network. An NTP
server obtains the correct time from a time source and sets the local time in
each connected computer.
octet A set of 8 bits.
Offline mode A mode of operation in which active service is suspended so that special
operations can be carried out, such as programming in a new configuration
or carrying out invasive diagnostic tests.
Online mode The normal operating mode of the base station.
