community name

The name given to an SNMP community for identification 
purposes. A member has associated access rights (read-only or 
read/write).

compand

(Com)pr Ex(pand)ing). A technique of compressing 
voice or data before transmission and extracting (expanding) 
it at the target device to use bandwidth as economically as 
possible during transmission.

competitive access providers

See CAPS.

competitive local exchange carrier

See CLEC.

composite clock

A timing reference for multiplexer output that includes all 
data from multiplexed channels that is based on an oscillator-
generated signal.

compressed voice

Reducing a voice signal to use less bandwidth during trans-
mission. Accomplished by sampling an analog voice signal by 
means of an algorithm and converting it to a digital signal. 

compression

Applying an algorithm to a voice or data stream resulting in 
using fewer bits to reproduce it at the target end.

configurator

A user who has read-write capabilities on PSAX devices when 
using the 

AQueView

 system, but the capabilities are subordi-

nate to the Administrator. 

See also

 Administrator; Monitor.

conformance type

The type of traffic control option used for ATM cells. A traffic 
descriptor combination that specifies which traffic parameters 
are used for traffic control; determines the number and type 
of cells that are admitted into a congested queue; and deter-
mines whether high-priority cells are tagged as low-priority 
cells when traffic exceeds the traffic parameter thresholds.

congestion

The point where devices in a network operate at the highest 
and slowest utilization.

congestion control parameters

Techniques used in a network to prevent and react to tempo-
rary excessive demands for resources. 

congestion management

The ability of a network to effectively deal with heavy traffic 
volumes.

Conjugated Structure- Algebraic 
Code Excited Linear Predictive Voice 
Coding

See CS-ACLEP.

connection admission control 

See CAC.

connection gateway

Software that allows an external device to interconnect to the 

PacketStar

 Multiservice Media Gateway systems and act as an 

adjunct processor to handle IDSN, SS7 signaling, and other 
call control.

connectivity

The degree to which any given computer or application can 
cooperate with other network components in a shared-
resource network environment.
