A circuit that facilitates the exchange of data and signaling information between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE. ) Note: An interchange circuit can carry many types of signals and provide many types of service features, such as control signals, timing signals, and common return functions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that interconnects three or more separate points.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that measures the probable value of a signal element and makes an output signal decision based on the value of the input signal and a predetermined criterion or criteria.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that permits simultaneous transmission in both directions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that permits transmission in both directions. Note: For simultaneous two-way transmission, see full-duplex circuit.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that provides transmission in one direction only. 2. Deprecated definition: A circuit using ground return and affording communication in either direction, but in only one direction at a time. Note: The above two definitions are contradictory; however, both are in common use. The user is cautioned to verify the nature of the service specified by this term.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that uses the data it is retransmitting to perform tests on itself to ensure that it is transmitting properly, i.e., to ensure that all circuit components are functioning properly.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit using a common return path that is at ground potential. Note: Earth may serve as a portion of the ground-return circuit. 2. A circuit in which there is a common return path, whether or not connected to earth.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit which is included in the interexchange transmission equipment.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit, or group of interconnected circuits, consisting of miniature solid-state optical components on semiconductor or dielectric substrates. Note: IOC components include light sources, optical filters, photodetectors, and thin-film optical waveguides.
