Multi-mode
fiber
In this fiber, multi-mode optical signals are transmitted.
N
Network Time
Protocol
(NTP)
A time synchronization protocol defined by RFC1305. It is used to
synchronize time between distributed time server and clients. NTP is
used to perform clock synchronization on all devices that have clocks in
the network. Therefore, the devices can provide different applications
based on a unified time. In addition, NTP can ensure a very high
accuracy with an error of 10ms or so.
O
Open Shortest
Path First
(OSPF)
An internal gateway dynamic routing protocol, which is used to decide
the route in an Autonomous System (AS)
Optical
Distribution
Frame (ODF)
A distribution connection device between the fiber and a communication
device. It is an important part of the optical transmission system. It is
mainly used for fiber splicing, optical connector installation, fiber
adjustment, additional pigtail storage, and fiber protection.
P
Password
Authentication
Protocol
(PAP)
PAP is an authentication protocol that uses a password in Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP). It is a twice handshake protocol and transmits
unencrypted user names and passwords over the network. Therefore, it is
considered unsecure.
Point-to-point
Protocol over
Ethernet
(PPPoE)
PPPoE is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet
frames. With PPPoE, the remote access device can control and account
each access user.
Private VLAN
(PVLAN)
PVLAN adopts Layer 2 isolation technology. Only the upper VLAN is
visible globally. The lower VLANs are isolated from each other. If you
partition each interface of the switch or IP DSLAM device into a lower
VLAN, all interfaces are isolated from each other.
Grounding
cable
The cable to connect the device to ground, usually a yellow/green
coaxial cable. Connecting the grounding cable properly is an important
guarantee to lightning protection, anti-electric shock, and anti-
interference.
