configuration file
A configuration file consists of all the configuration settings needed for a base
station
or gateway, stored as a file in the configurations folder. Configuration
files have the extension *.apc.
connection list
A connection list contains the names and IP addresses of base stations and
gateways that the CSS can connect to.
control bus
The control bus is used for communications between modules in a subrack. It
is an I2C bus, a bi-directional two-wire serial bus which is used to connect
integrated circuits (ICs). I2C is a multi-master bus, which means that multiple
chips can be connected to the same bus, and each one can act as a master by
initiating a data transfer.
control panel
The control panel is an area at the front of the base station or gateway with
buttons, LEDs and other controls that let a maintainer interact with the network
element.
conventional
network
Conventional networks are systems that do not have centralized management
of channel access. System operation is entirely controlled by system end users.
CRTP
Compressed RTP.
crypto module
Module for securely storing encryption keys and for encrypting and decrypting
signals.
CSS
Customer Service Software. Tait PC-based software for monitoring,
configuring, and diagnosing a Tait TB9100
base station or gateway.
CSSI
Console SubSystem Interface. The communication interface used to connect a
trunked analog gateway to the RFSS controller.
CTCSS
CTCSS (continuous tone controlled squelch system), also known as PL (private

custom input
A custom input is a user-defined Task Manager input that consists of a set of
pre-defined inputs that are combined using Boolean logic.
CWID
CWID (Continuous Wave IDentification) is a method of automatically
identifying the

transmission of a signal with a single frequency that is either on or off, as
opposed to a modulated carrier.
