Parallel port
Input/output channel
for connecting peripheral devices to
PCs. Parallel ports allow connections to
printers or other parallel interface
devices.
Parameter
A numeric modifier
required by some commands.
Parity
A method for checking the
accuracy of transmitted data by
counting the number of “1” bits that
have been received.
Parity bit
A bit that can be set to 0 or
1 to ensure that the total number of “1”
bits received is even (for even parity) or
odd (for odd parity).
Patch
A MIDI term referring to a
particular sound or voice.
PCI
Peripheral Component
Interconnect. Standard for PC bus
architecture.
PCM
Pulse Code Modulation, a
method of storing uncompressed digital
audio. The audio is represented by the
amplitude of the audio signal sampled
at regular intervals.
Plug and Play
Industry standard for
dynamically configuring system
resources for the computer and its
accessories.
PBX
Private Branch Exchange. A
telephone exchange owned and
operated by a private company.
Polyphonic
More than one voice
played simultaneously.
Power-on system hardware test
A
series of tests your computer performs
when you turn on the power.
Processor
The component of the
computer that computes. The power of
your processor partly determines the
speed at which your computer works.
Profile
A group of operating
characteristics tailored to specific
requirements. Your modem lets you
use AT commands to create two
distinct user profiles. You can store
these profiles in non-volatile memory
for later use.
Pulse dialing
One of two dialing
methods (the other is touch-tone
dialing), in which the telephone
numbers are sent as pulses over the
telephone line.
Q-Sound
Audio-processing technique
to simulate reverb/surround sound.
RAM
Random Access Memory.
Computer memory used to temporarily
hold programs and data.
Ready to Send (RTS)
A
communication port control signal that
your modem provides when it is ready
to receive data. This signal tells your
modem that it can send data from the
telephone line.
