A call control signal transmitted by the data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) to the data terminal equipment (DTE) indicating that a request signal, originated by a distant DTE, has been received from a distant DCE to exchange data with the station.

The time between (a) the instant at which a user data unit, such as a character, word, block, or message, is made available to a network for transfer by a transmitting data terminal equipment (DTE) and (b) the receipt of that complete data unit by a receiving DTE.

The sending of data from one place to another by means of signals over a channel.

The term "Data Transmission (107 Type) Test Line" denotes an arrangement which provides for a connection to a signal source which provides test signals for one-way testing of data and voice transmission parameters.

The transmission media and the intervening equipment used for the transfer of data between data terminal equipments (DTEs).
Note 1: A data transmission circuit includes any required signal conversion equipment.
Note 2: A data transmission circuit may transfer information in (a) one direction only, (b) either direction but one way at a time, or (c) both directions simultaneously.

A single kind of data for which the identification and description are identical for all occurrences. It may be a data element or a data composite. [T1.238-1994/97]

A process used to determine if data are accurate, complete, or meet specified criteria. [2382-pt.8]

Pertaining to the rate of change in the values of stored data over a period of time.

The application of protective data elements to a data stream in such a manner that the composition of the data stream determines the amount or type of protective elements to be added.

1. A set of data that is required for a specific purpose or is fundamental to a system, project, enterprise, or business.
Note: A database may consist of one or more data banks and be geographically distributed among several repositories.
2. A formally structured collection of data.
