Multipoint Control Unit A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) is a bridging or () switching device used for multipoint videoconferencing. Network Interface Cards Network interface cards (NICs) are electronic (NICs) devices that connect workstations, servers, or () other devices to a network. NICs work with the network software and computer operating system to transmit and receive messages on the network. Network Interface Device A Network Interface Device (NID) is a () component installed between a telephone network and the inside wire of a customer premises. The NID is usually provided by the telephone company and is the transition, or demarcation point, between the company’s network and the customer’s inside wiring. Network Management Network Management is a system of equipment (—Ineligible) or software used in monitoring, controlling, and managing a communications network. Network Switch A switch is a mechanical or electronic device () that completes or breaks an electrical path or that selects the paths for communication. More specifically, network switches provide capability similar to a network but provide a dedicated bandwidth at each network port, rather than shared bandwidth among all ports. OC-1 OC-1 stands for “optical carrier 1,” which is a () Digital Transmission Service that operates at 51.84 Megabits per second. Multiples of this bandwidth are also available, such as, OC-3 and OC-12. Online Backup Solution An Online Backup Solution provides off-site () data storage generally accessible from any Internet connection. Operating System Software Operating System software enables the basic () operations of a computer system or other electronic device. For example, it can configure the communication paths between memory and storage, and provides basic functions for other software to operate correctly. Pager A Pager (also known as a Beeper) is the () receiving end of a paging service and is a small device worn on the belt or carried in a handbag. Pagers may provide text or voice messages, or both. Paging Services Paging is a service designed to deliver a
