CANT is a trunk group control that allows traffic to be canceled before hunting for a circuit to a destination. Equipment vendors commonly provide the capability to implement this control on a percentage basis.

The luminous intensity in a specified direction, of a monochromatic source which has a frequency of 540 x 1012 Hz and which has a radiant intensity, in the specified direction, of (1/683) watt per steradian.

A domain name of an Internet resource indicating its type or its capabilities.
Note: One Internet resource may have a set of different domain names, one of which is the preferred one. Example: www. isi. edu denotes a host containing a Web server. [2382-pt.35]

Common Alerting Protocol

1. A token allowing its holder an access right.
Note: Capability-based systems (e. g. PIDs) provide added value in authentication but, since they are not cryptographically secure, cannot replace the password system [CESG].
2. As used in the context of security, a form of privilege attribute. It is a token (recognized by a process managing access to security objects) possession… (Read More →)

Synonym alias point code.

The transfer of energy from one circuit to another by means of the mutual capacitance between the circuits.
Note 1: The coupling may be deliberate or inadvertent.
Note 2: Capacitive coupling favors transfer of the higher frequency components of a signal, whereas inductive coupling favors lower frequency components, and conductive coupling favors neither higher nor lower frequency components.

See channel capacity, traffic capacity.

Capital Expenditure

A phenomenon, associated with FM reception, in which only the stronger of two signals at or near the same frequency will be demodulated.
Note 1: The complete suppression of the weaker signal occurs at the receiver limiter, where it is treated as noise and rejected.
Note 2: When both signals are nearly equal in strength, or are fading independently, the… (Read More →)
