Multilink virtual template

A virtual template from which the specified Multilink PPP bundle can clone its interface parameters.

multiplexing

Creating multiple channels by interspersing more than one signal over a single relay, such as cable, or microwave.

network

A group of stations linked together to broadcast the same program simultaneously. Also used as designate cable program

providers.

network element

A facility or the equipment used in the provision of a telecommunications service. The term includes subscriber numbers,

databases, signaling systems, and information sufficient for billing and collection. It is also used in the transmission, routing,

or other provision of a telecommunications service.

network trunks

Circuits connecting switching centers.

node

Endpoint of a network connection or a junction common to two or more lines in a network. Nodes can be processors,

controllers, or workstations. Nodes, which vary in routing and other functional capabilities, can be interconnected by links, and

serve as control points in the network. “Node” is sometimes used generically to refer to any entity that can access a network,

and is frequently used interchangeably with “device.” See also host.

offline

The absence of connection to another computer. In an “off line” mail system, the user reads and writes e-mail messages in an

editor without a modem connection to a remote computer. Another piece of software then automatically establishes a

connection to a remote host computer, sends and receives accumulated e-mail, then hangs up. This is less interactive than

online systems, but tends to be cheaper for the user and is sometimes a necessity in areas with particularly bad telephone lines.

online

A “live” connection to another computer. In an online e-mail system, a user works directly with a remote host computer,

reading and sending e-mail while connected to that computer. Interactive Internet functions like WWW and Gopher require an

online interface.

override firmware

The modem firmware that is indicated as the alternate firmware image to which the modem module is to be upgraded.
