Omni 56K USB Lite Analog Analog Loopback Test Answer Architecture ARQ ASCII Asynchronous AT Command Authenticity Auto-answer Backbone Bandwidth bis Bit Glossary An electrical circuit that is represented by means of continuous, variable physical quantities (such as voltages and frequencies), as opposed to discrete representations (like the 0/1, off/on representation of digital circuits). Testing method in which the modem's analog signal is connected to the analog input. In a connection between two modems, one modem works as the recipient (in answer mode) and the second modem as the initiator (originate mode). A design. The term architecture can refer to either hardware or software, or to a combination of hardware and software.

Proof that the information came from the person or location that reportedly sent it. One example of authenticating software is through digital signatures. Modem's ability to automatically answer a call after a set number of rings. A high-speed line or series of connections that forms a major pathway within a network. This is the capacity on a link usually measured in bits-per-second (bps). Old French word for two. (Binary Digit) - A single digit number in base-2, in other words, either a one or a Glossary E
