System board
The large circuit board
that contains the principle components
of the computer, and to which
accessories are connected.
Test characters
Characters that the
modem automatically generates during
a loopback test. If the test characters
received are the same as those sent, the
modem has passed the loopback test.
Total harmonic distortion
A
specification for quantifying the fidelity
of audio processing equipment.
Touch tone dialing
A dialing method
(as opposed to pulse dialing), in which
telephone numbers are sent as tones
over the telephone line. Telephones
capable of touch-tone dialing have 10
number buttons, a * button, and a #
button.
