Frame
See Block.
Frame Time
Specifies the maximum length of each packet frame (larger the time, the more information that can be contained within the
frame).
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
Technique of transmitting additional information with the original data so that if small errors are detected the correct
information can be recreated by the receiving end without requiring a retransmission.
Full Duplex
Data transmission, which allows data to flow in two directions at the same time.
G
Gateway
An electronic connection that joins similar networks together, for example IP to IP. Generally transparent to the user.
H
Half Duplex
Data transmission in which data may flow in either direction at one time, but not both directions simultaneously.
Transmission direction is alternatively switched to allow two-way flow of data.
Handshake
A predetermined interchange of signals between two devices to establish conditions for a transfer of data.
Hang-up
Termination of the Communications Link. As with a normal phone call, the phone must be hung-up so that you can call and
receive other calls.
Hang-up on DTR
Only available with the Main Port. If activated, will terminate the Communication Link when the Data Terminal Ready pin is
low.
Hardware
The electronic or electro-mechanical devices in a computer system as opposed to the programs or software.
Hardware Handshaking
The use of special RS-232 signals to halt or commence the flow of data between two computers or terminals, between
computers and modems or between facsimile machines. See also Software Handshaking, RTS and CTS.
Hayes
TM
Company that designed the AT commands.
Hertz (Hz)
Unit of frequency, one cycle per second.
Hopping Pattern
Pattern to which the modem jumps through the frequency spectrum as it transmits and receives information. There are 32
hopping patterns available, all modems that are to communicate with each other must have the same hopping pattern.
Host Computer
A computer that manages information for many terminals. A host computer may be mainframe, minicomputer or a
microcomputer.
I
Input
Information transferred into a computer from some external source, such as the keyboard, a disk drive, a modem or a
