DCE
Data circuit-terminating equipment (ITU-T expansion). Devices and connections of a
communications network that comprise the network end of the user-to-network interface. The DCE
provides a physical connection to the network, forwards traffic, and provides a clocking signal used
to synchronize data transmission between DCE and DTE devices. Modems and interface cards are
examples of DCE. Compare with
DTE
.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
DNS
Domain Name System.
DOCSIS
Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification.
DSR
Data set ready.
DSU
Data Service Unit. Device used in digital transmission that adapts the physical interface on a DTE
device to a transmission facility such as T1 or E1. The DSU is also responsible for such functions as
signal timing. Often used with CSU, as in CSU/DSU.
DTE
Data terminal equipment. Device at the user end of a user-network interface that serves as a data
source, destination, or both. DTE connects to a data network through a DCE device (for example, a
modem) and typically uses clocking signals generated by the DCE. DTE includes devices such as
computers, protocol translators, and multiplexers.
E
EIA
Electronic Industries Alliance.
EIA/TIA-232-E
The latest version of the RS-232-C serial data transfer standard. This standard defines the serial ports
on computers, which communicate with external modems, and so on.
EMI
Electromagnetic interference.
EPROM
Erasable programmable read-only memory.
ESD
Electrostatic discharge.
EuroDOCSIS
European Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications.
F
Fast Ethernet
Any of a number of 100-Mbps Ethernet specifications. Fast Ethernet offers a speed increase 10 times
that of the 10Base-T Ethernet specification, while preserving qualities such as frame format, MAC
mechanisms, and MTU. Existing 10Base-T applications and network management tools can be used
on Fast Ethernet networks. The Fast Ethernet specification is based on an extension to the IEEE 802.3
specification.
FEC
Forward error correction.
FER
Frame error rate.
