1.6 Terms and Definitions
The following terms will be used throughout this hardware installation guide, to refer to system components and
modes of operation.
USOC - Acronym for Universal S
ervice Ordering Codes - The connectors and wiring adhere to the USOC
wiring practices standard wherever possible.
RJ - Acronym for Registered J
ack - The system uses some modular style connectors that are identified by their
'RJ' designations. RJ-11 is a generic term, which is often used to refer to a six-position jack, though it
specifically refers to a single pair connection in a six-position shell. RJ-12 refers to a two pair connection in a
six pair shell, and RJ-25 refers to a three pair connection in a six pair shell.
Segment - That portion of a collector network, which begins at a concentrator, extends through one or more
collectors, and then ends at the last collector on the line. Collectors to which the segment connects are said to
be a part of the segment.
Data Link - The connection between the Net Card in the customer computer and the concentrator(s).
Concentrator - This device provides an interface between the 2-pair network that connects collectors together
(the "Collector Network") and the computer system. It assembles the data from the various collectors and
bundles it for delivery to the host computer. Each system must contain at least one concentrator, and many
systems will contain only one. In some cases, a PC bus plug-in concentrator is used.
