Electrically block-erasable and programmable read-only memory.
FM Frequency Modulation. Often used as an adjective to denote analog radio 
transmission.
frequency band The range of frequencies that the equipment is capable of operating on.
group call A call that is sent to more than one MS simultaneously.
host name The unique name by which a network element is known on the network. 
hysteresis The difference between the upper and lower trigger points. For example, 
the receiver unmutes when the upper trigger point is reached, but will mute 
again until the level falls to the lower trigger point. An adequate hysteresis 
prevents the receiver gate from repeatedly muting and unmuting when the 
level varies around the trigger point. 
IP Internet Protocol is a protocol for sending data packets between hosts.
isolator A passive two-port device which transmits power in one direction, and 
absorbs power in the other direction. It is used with a PA to prevent damage 
to the RF circuitry from high reverse power.
LAN Local Area Network. A computer network that interconnects computers in 
a limited area, such as a single building or group of buildings.
LED Light Emitting Diode. Also the screen representation of a physical LED.
license Some operational functions of the base station are controlled by licenses. 
Purchasing a license from Tait allows you to enable the feature set which 
includes the required functionality.
logical channel One of the two timeslots provided in each TB7300 radio frequency. Each 
timeslot can function as a separate logical channel, independent of the other 
timeslot. One radio frequency can therefore carry two separate voice or 
data streams, one in each timeslot.
mobile station The term used in the ETSI DMR standard documents for a two-way radio 
(generally a mobile or a portable radio) conforming to the DMR 
specifications.
network element Any device that is network-connected. A TaitNet digital network consists 
of a number of network elements. The TB7300 base station is a network 
element designed and manufactured by Tait.
