A

Additional Acknowledge Delay	Adjustable delay setting to allow additional time before a transmitting ADC assumes the receiving ADC did not acknowledge. Best used on channels with slow crypto devices or radios.
Acknowledge - ACK	Sent by a receiving ADC to the transmitter, after receipt of a probe or burst transmission.
ANDVT	Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal
ARQ	Automatic Resend Request

 

B

BIT	Built In Test
BPS	Bits per Second
Burst	The transmission that carries the message or file from transmitter to receiver.

 

C

CCI	Controlled Cryptographic Item
CDC	Compact Data Controller
CFG	Configuration
CMPR	Compression
CRC	Cyclic Redundancy Code
CTS	Clear to Send
CSMA	Carrier Sense Multiple Access. Channel sharing technique to provide cooperative sharing of tactical communications channel assets.
CUR	Cursor

 

D

DAMA	Demand Assigned Multiple Access - a technique for sharing satellite bandwidth among many users
DSP	Digital Signal Processor
Data Terminal Software - DTS	The software used on IBM compatible PC's to control the ADC
Destination - DEST	The intended recipient ADC(s)

 

E

EDAC	Error Detection and Correction
EEPROM	Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory

 

F-G

FAX	Facsimile
FD	Full-duplex
FEC	Forward Error Correction

 

H-K

HD	Half-duplex

 

L

LCD	Liquid Crystal Display
LED	Light Emitting Diode
Local Address	The local ADC's address
LOS	Line of Sight

 

M-O

MIL-STD	Military Standard
MS-DOS	Microsoft Disk Operating System
N/C	Not Connected

 

P-Q

Probe	Tranmission used by ADC's in CSMA mode. Sent by the transmitter to capture the channel, channel is considered captured when the receiving ADC sends a probe ACK.
PROM	Programmable Read Only Memory

 

R

RTS	Request to Send
Routing Information Protocol - RIP	Used by the ADC/IP to broadcast connected networks, and receive information from other routers of available networks connections.
Route Table	Used in the ADC/IP to maintain list of connected networks, and the path to reach connected networks.

 

S

SI	Simplex
STO	Store

 

T-U

TBD	To Be Determined
Turnaround Delay	Allows an adjustable delay after an ADC receives a probe, burst, or ACK and before it sends it's probe, burst, or ACK. Best used on radios having a slow transmit/receive turnaround time.

 

V-Z

VDC	Volts Direct Current
VOX	Voice
