baud rate
Transmission signaling speed.
basic call transfer

ports.
basic rate access

basic rate interface.
basic rate interface (BRI)
International standard protocol for connecting a station terminal to an integrated systems digital
network (ISDN) switch. ISDN BRI supports two 64 Kbps information bearer channels (B1 and B2),
and one 16 Kbps call status and control (D) channel (a 2B + D format). Also called b
asic rate
access.
binary digit (bit)
Two-number notation that uses the digits 0 and 1. Low-order bits are on the right (for example,
0001=1, 0010=2, and so forth). Four bits make a nybble; eight bits make a byte.
