technical support Single point of contact for a customer when assistance is needed in
managing or troubleshooting a product. Technical support provides
assistance twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, including hol-
idays. The technical support number is (800) 752-4572 or (720)
566-3910. Synonymous with customer support.
Telecommunications
Industry Association
TIA. A member organization of the Electronic Industries Association
(EIA), TIA is the trade group representing the communications and
information technology industries. See also Electronic Industries
Association.
telnet The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection over a
network connection.
terabyte TB. One thousand (1,000) gigabytes; one terabyte of text on paper
would consume 42,500 trees. At 12 characters per inch, 1 TB of data in
a straight line would encircle the earth 56 times and stretch some 1.4
million miles equalling nearly three round trips from the earth to the
moon.
Threshold Alert Log Director or switch Threshold Alert Log. Log displayed through the
Product Manager application that provides details of threshold alert
notifications for an individual director or switch. The log displays the
date and time an alert occurred, and displays details about the alert
as configured for the product. The information is useful to mainte-
nance personnel for fault isolation and repair verification. See also
Audit Log; Event Log; Hardware Log; Link Incident Log.

topology Logical and/or physical arrangement of stations on a network.
transceiver modules Transceiver modules come in longwave, extra longwave, or short-
wave laser versions, providing a single fiber connection.
transfer rate The speed with which data can be transmitted from one device to
another. Data rates are often measures in megabits (Mbps) or mega-
bytes (MBps) per second, or gigabits (Gbps) or gigabytes per second
(GBps).
transmission control
protocol
TCP. The transport layer for the transmission control protocol/Inter-
net protocol (TCP/IP) protocol widely used on Ethernet networks
