AAEC
Automatic and Adaptable Echo Cancellation. Automatically and continuously detect “line” echo and
assist in removing it for improved communication.
Acoustic Echo
The coupling of audio from a headset back into it’s own attached microphone, or another microphone
nearby. Result from using a digital intercom system with latency when (1) headsets are used with poor
acoustical isolation between the headphones and boom microphone; (2) multiple users are located very
close to each other; (3) by having a device with the microphone path enabled without an attached
headset; (4) by one user having their volume or microphone gain settings too high.
AP-only Mode
When a BTR-240 has all of it’s audio input interfaces disabled (local headset talk, 2-wire, 4-wire,
auxiliary), it will be in half-duplex.
Capacity
The number of full-duplex TR-240s that can be associated with a specific access point for reliable and
uninterrupted communications.
CCA
Clear Channel Assessment. When a wireless device senses the environment for energy on it’s frequency
before it transmits the signal. If the CCA fails, the device determines that the channel is busy and will
back-off / wait before attempting to send the signal again.
CCA Area
The area around an access point where the error rate of the receivers is high, “out of range”, but the
receiver can still sense the environment and detect if the channel is busy before transmitting it’s signal.
Cell-Type
Architecture
WLAN deployment strategy with multiple access points operating on non-overlapping RF channels,
with non-overlapping coverage areas.
Channel Utilization
The amount of activity on a particular wireless RF channel.
ClearScan
Intelligence that selects the optimal radio frequency channel to operate.
Coverage Area
Area around an access point where the receivers of devices can accurately receive and decode the data
packets with a minimal error rate.
De-tune
When the characteristics of the antenna become un-optimized for the frequency of use and results in RF
signal loss. Typically occurs when antenna is used near large metal objects.
Echo
When a user's voice is heard in the headset at a noticeable time interval after they have actually spoke.
Occurs from any digital system with audio latency.
Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3) standard for implementing local area networks.
Full-duplex
Mode of operation when a device has simultaneous talk and listen capabilities.
Half-duplex
Mode of operation when a device has listen-only capabilities.
IEEE 802.11
Set of standards for implementing wireless local area networks developed by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers.
IP address
Internet Protocol address. A unique set of numbers to identify a particular device on a network.
LAN
(Wired) Local Area Network.
ACI
Adjacent Channel Interference. The interference between multiple access points on different RF
channels.
CCI
Co-channel Interference. The interference between multiple access points on the same RF channel.
