Terms 
  
active CPU  – The central processing unit of a network security system 
operating in the “active” mode, provi ding centralized control of the 
entire system.  It may be backed  up by a redundant CPU operating in 
standby mode, which is capable of  taking over as the active CPU at 
any instant - upon instruction from the management switch. 
admin console  – A PC-based graphical user  interface (GUI) that facilitates 
the interaction between an NSS (network security system) and...

153  central processing unit (CPU) – The part of a network security system 
(NSS) that controls the functioning of the entire system, which it 
also enables.  Operates on either active or standby status.  If active, it 
is the Main CPU; if in standby, it is the redundant (or backup) CPU. 
compensation – Hardware capability to boosting signal strength in a response 
to the length of the cable length installed: short, medium, or long. 
controller – A user tool for selecting and aiming a...

Glossary 
 
 
154  ID number – Component ID and tour ID numbers are used primarily in the 
permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another 
in row and column style.  Since logical and local numbers are not 
necessarily unique or consecutive, and the permission grids must be 
displayed as consecutive, unique numbers, MPU955A Admin 
Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order.  
Upon adding components or tours, the system will automatically 
assign the next available...

Glossary 
 
 
155  monitor – A CRT (cathode ray tube) dedicated to viewing images generated 
by one or more of the components of a surveillance system. 
network security system (NSS) – Large-scale matrix system that performs 
functions such as camera control, switching, automatic alarm 
processing, and provision of an on-screen display. 
operator – A person (operator) who accesses the system, selects resources, 
and controls selected system resources.

156  user – A person (administrator) who accesses the MPU955A Admin Console 
system, selects resources, and controls the operation of the system 
via the system configuration. 
user name – An alphanumeric representation that uniquely identifies an 
administrator to the system.  A user will use this name when logging 
onto the MPU955A Admin Console system.  It is case sensitive.
