SES/2
Third-from-right LED in the module. In the Access Point Module and
Backhaul timing master, this LED is unused. In the operating mode for
a Subscriber Module or a Backhaul timing slave, this LED flashes on
and off to indicate that the module is not registered. In the aiming
mode for a Subscriber Module or a Backhaul timing slave, this LED is
part of a bar graph that indicates the quality of the RF link.
Session Key
Software key that the SM and Bandwidth and Authentication Manager
(BAM) separately calculate based on that both the authentication key
(or the factory-set default key) and the random number. BAM sends
the session key to the AP. Neither the subscriber nor the network
operator can view this key. See also Random Number.
SFTP
Secure File Transfer Protocol.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
Standard that is used for communications between a program (agent)
in the network and a network management station (monitor). Defined
in RFC 1157. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1157.html.
skey
Software key that correlates to the random number that the Bandwidth
and Authentication Manager (BAM) server generates and sends in a
challenge through the AP to the SM. The network operator can create
and, at some security risk, send this key over the air to the SM. The
SQL database in the BAM server correlates this key to QoS
information about the SM. The format of this key is 32 hexadecimal
characters of 0 to 9 and a to f. This key must be unique to the
individual SM. Also known as authentication key.
Slave
Designation that defines the role of a component relative to the role of
another. This designation both applies to a Backhaul slave that
receives synchronization over the air from another Backhaul module
(a Backhaul timing master) and applies to a redundant Bandwidth and
Authentication Manager (BAM) server whose SQL database is
automatically overwritten by a copy from the primary BAM server
(BAM master). In each case, the slave is not a product. Rather, the
slave is the role that results from deliberate configuration steps.
SM
Customer premises equipment (CPE) device that extends network or
Internet services by communication with an Access Point Module or an
Access Point cluster.
SM MIB
Management Information Base file that defines objects that are
specific to the Subscriber Module or Backhaul timing slave. See also
Management Information Base.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol, defined in RFC 1157. A
standard that is used for communications between a program (agent)
in the network and a network management station (monitor). See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1157.html.
SNMP Trap
Capture of information that informs the network monitor through
Simple Network Management Protocol of a monitored occurrence in
the module.

SOAP
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The protocol that the
Northbound Interface in Prizm uses to support integration of Prizm
with an operations support systems (OSS) such as a customer
relationship management (CRM), billing, or provisioning system
SSE
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) interface to the SQL
server. Unique sets of commands are available on this interface to
manage the BAM SQL database and user access. Distinguished from
Engine. See also Engine.
Standard Operating
Margin
See Fade Margin.
Static IP Address
Assignment
Assignment of Internet Protocol address that can be changed only
manually. Thus static IP address assignment requires more
configuration time and consumes more of the available IP addresses
than DHCP address assignment does. RFC 2050 provides guidelines
for the static allocation of IP addresses. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2050.html. See also DHCP.
su -
A command that opens a Linux® operating system session for the user
root.
Subnet Mask
32-bit binary number that filters an IP address to reveal what part
identifies the network and what part identifies the host. The number of
subnet mask bits that are set to 1 indicates how many leading bits of
the IP address identify the network. The number of subnet mask bits
that are set 0 indicate how many trailing bits of the IP address identify
the host.
Subscriber Module
Customer premises equipment (CPE) device that extends network or
Internet services by communication with an Access Point Module or an
Access Point cluster.
Sustained Data Rate
Preset rate limit of data transfer.
Switch
Network element that uses the port that is associated with the physical
address of another to pass data to only the intended recipient.
Compare to Bridge and Router.
SYN/1
Second-from-right LED in the module. In the Access Point Module or
Backhaul timing master, as in a registered Subscriber Module or
Backhaul timing slave, this LED is continuously lit to indicate the
presence of sync. In the operating mode for a Subscriber Module or
Backhaul timing slave, this LED flashes on and to indicate that the
module is not registered. In the aiming mode for a Subscriber Module
or a Backhaul timing slave, this LED is part of a bar graph that
indicates the quality of the RF link.
Sync
GPS (Global Positioning System) absolute time, which is passed from
one module to another. Sync enables timing that prevents modules
from transmitting or receiving interference. Sync also provides
correlative time stamps for troubleshooting efforts.

TCP
Alternatively known as Transmission Control Protocol or Transport
Control Protocol. The Transport Layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack.
This protocol is applied to assure that data packets arrive at the target
network element and to control the flow of data through the Internet.
Defined in RFC 793. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc793.html.
tcp
Transport Control type of port. The Canopy system uses Port 3306:tcp
for MySQL® database communications, Port 9080:tcp for SSE telnet
communications, and Port 9090:tcp for Engine telnet
communications.
TDD
Time Division Duplexing.
TDMA
Time Division Multiple Access.
telnet
Utility that allows a client computer to update a server. A firewall can
prevent the use of the telnet utility to breach the security of the
server. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc818.html,
