Autobaud - The process of automatically adjusting to or adapting equipment to the speed of the equipment to which it connects or is connected. AUTODIN - Automatic Digital Network Automatic - Alternate Routing - In the event that a network is disrupted, the node will automatically reroute each call according to its priority when a path becomes available. Automatic - Call Reconnect - Call reconnect permits automatic call rerouting away from a trunk experiencing a failure. The order of rerouting that takes place is based on a port's call priority. Automatic - Call Rerouting - A disconnected call is automatically rerouted away from a trunk experiencing a failure through other multiplexers and lines for continuation of voice or data traffic. Rerouting is based on a port's call priority. Automatic - Clock Restoral - A node parameter used to automatically synchronize to the next highest clock source when the current clock source becomes unavailable. AUTOSEVOCOM - Automatic Secure Voice Communications AUTOVON - Automatic Voice Network AUX - auxiliary Auxiliary - Alarm - A condition derived from an external equipment connection. The auxiliary alarm input is mapped onto the crypto circuit connector. The default state is programmable. Auxiliary - Fan - Cooling device for a Promina 800 EXS system (part of the alarm panel).

B/B - baseband B/P/C/S - base, post, camp, and station B2C2 - brigade (battalion) and below Command and control B3ZS - (Bipolar with Three Zero Substitution) - This format is used at the DS3 level for zero code suppression and is used only with the T3 Trunk module in a Promina 800. B8ZS - (Binary Eight Zero Substitution) - A deliberate bipolar violation to solve the ones density problem, or to accommodate the requirements of digital T1-carrier facilities in the public network, while allowing 64 kbps clear data per channel. Rather than inserting a one for every seven consecutive zeroes (see Ones Density), B8ZS inserts two violations of the bipolar line encoding technique used for digital transmission links. This format is used at the DS1 for zero code suppression. BAAS - broad area surveillance system Backbone - Network - A transmission system that is designed to interconnect and integrate a variety of voice, data, and image networks of a diverse array of equipment, plus all applications. Backplane - Connection point between the modules and the shelf, includes jumper settings. BADD - battlefield awareness and data dissemination BAI - battlefield air interdiction BAIR - battlefield automation integration review BAL - basic assembly language BAL - balanced BAM - Basic Access Module
BAMD - battlefield automation management directorate BAMP - battlefield automation management program BAN - base area network (Air Force) Bandwidth - The frequency range between the highest and lowest frequencies, expressed in hertz, passed through a network. Bandwidth is divided into smaller frequency ranges, which can be assigned to particular transmission uses. Bandwidth - Calculations - In addition to bandwidth that is used by a call, there may be transparent signaling bandwidth, and trunk asynchronous bandwidth as well. Transparent signaling bandwidth is required for data calls configured for transparent signaling. Trunk asynchronous bandwidth is required for calls that originate from a data port with a port speed that is not divisible by 8 kbps, USD ports configured as pass-through timing, and QASD ports configured for asynchronous timing. Bandwidth - On Demand (BOD) - The assignment of bandwidth to a trunk (circuit link) only when the call is active. When the call is terminated, that bandwidth is then available for other calls. Bandwidth - Pooling - A feature that allows pooling of the capacity of individual trunks between nodes. It treats pooled bandwidth as an aggregate trunk link. Bandwidth for a particular call is contiguous on one trunk, and a call cannot be divided across more than one trunk. Bandwidth - Reservation - An approach that allows the user to reserve bandwidth for a call. It is especially useful for highbandwidth or high-priority calls. By entering the appropriate information in a port's database, a specified amount of bandwidth can be reserved on a daily or one-time basis. When there is insufficient bandwidth, reservation depends on normal call attrition. As calls hang up, bandwidth is reserved. Only calls with priority lower than the call's preempt priority are refused. BAS - Battlefield Automated Systems Baseband - The frequency band occupied by a single or composite signal in its original or unmodulated form. BASEWAM - battlefield surveillance electronic warfare analysis model BASIC - beginner’s all-purpose symbolic instruction code BASM - built-in assembler BAT - block address translation BAT - battery BATCON - battalion command BATES - battlefield artillery target engagement system Baud - A measure of signaling rate for a digital signal, which is approximately equal to bits per second. BAV - broadcast area variables BBC - backup bus controller BBMTA - border BMTA BBN - BaseBand Node BBS - bulletin board system BC - Broadcast BC - bus controller BC2AS - Bosnia command and control augmentation system BCBL - Battle Command Battle Lab BCC - (Block Check Character) - An error detection technique in which a character is appended to the end-of-message indicator at the end of a block of synchronous data. Using a predefined algorithm, the transmitter computes the BCC. If there are no errors (XMT and XCV data are equal), the receiver's BCC should match that of the transmitter.

Bell Labs was spun off with Lucent Technologies. Many very important discoveries have been made at Bell Labs including the transistor, communications theory, and radio astronomy. Bellcore - BELL COmmunications REsearch. See Telcordia. The research and development organization owned by the RBOCs. Bellcore represents the RBOCs in developing standards for Telco equipment and in testing equipment compliance to those standards. Bellcore also offers educational and training programs open to all interested parties. BEPS - biological experiment per second BER - Basic Encoding Rules BER - (Bit Error Rate) - The percentage of received bits in error, relative to a specific amount of bits received. It is usually expressed as a number referenced to a power of 10. BERT - 1. Bit Error Rate Test- A test for digital lines which involves looping a data path and sending a test pattern. Data returning is compared to the sent data to check for errors. Depending on the "Test Pattern" used, BERTs may or may not uncover problems. A line which only has occasional problems will need a BERT of sufficient time duration to catch that intermittent problem. A five minute BERT of an ISDN BRI circuit will only catch severe
