Glossary Asynchronous A transmission method that uses start, stop, data, and parity bits to exchange data. ADPCM Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation, a data compression technique from Microsoft. A-law A method of data compression that enables the sampling of sound at a resolution of 16 bits, but that generates the same quantity of data as an 8-bit sampling rate. ASVD Analog Simultaneous Voice and Data. A modem mechanism which allows you to hold a conversation and transfer data at the same time. AT command Is a set of commands composed of a string of characters that are used to determine the parameters and control of a modem. Each command is prefixed by the two letters "AT" (Attention), hence the name AT commands. AVI files Audio-Video Interleaved file format used with Microsoft's Video for Windows. Basic MIDI format Allows MIDI channels 13 to 16 of the General MIDI operation mode to be used when notes are played through MIDI. Baud rate The signaling rate used to transmit data. BBS An abbreviation for Bulletin Board System. A BBS employs special communications software that allows you to perform tasks such as send and receive files, leave mail messages for other BBS callers, read messages left for you by other callers, and chat with other callers who are also connected to the BBS. BIOS Basic Input/Output System. Code within the computer that controls the input and output data. Bit per second (bps) The speed at which a modem sends or receives information. If your modem is operating at 28800 bits per second, for example, it is transferring 28800 binary digits every second. Bus An electrical connection over which information is transported. Cache A block of memory used for the temporary storage of data. Calling tone Specific cadenced tone sent by most of the modems after the dialing sequence and before the detection of the answer of the remote system. Call waiting A service provided by some telephone companies. With Call Waiting, a beep alerts you during a conversation that another incoming telephone call has arrived on your line. Carrier signal High-pitched noise that is emitted when two modems try to make a data connection. CD-ROM Compact Disc-Read Only Memory. A storage device that uses compact disc technology. CDs can store data, but cannot be written to, hence the term "read-only". 99
