Binary Synchronous Communications - an IBM character protocol.
IBM's 1968 Binary Synchronous Communication Protocol (BSC), still widely used today.
A half-duplex, character-oriented data communications protocol originated in 1964. It includes control characters and procedures for controlling the establishment of a valid connection and the transfer of data. Although still enjoying widespread usage, it is being replaced by the more efficient protocol, Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC).
Short for binary synchronous, a type of synchronous communications used primarily in mainframe networks. The de facto bisync standard is Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC) developed by IBM. The binary part of the name signifies that the data is binary-coded. The synchronous part means that both the sender and receiver must be synchronized before the data transfer can begin.
Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC). A general purpose SNA protocol for use with a variety of IBM products (including the 3270 family), that communicates over a synchronous line operated in half-duplex mode (only one side at a time can transmit). Data characters are gathered in a package that is marked by two (bi)synchronization bits. BISYNC is one of two commonly used methods of encoding data for transmission between computer systems. The other more modern protocol is SDLC.
abbreviation for Binary Synchronous Communications
Binary Synchronous Communication Protocol. Character-oriented data-link protocol for applications. Contrast with Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC).
Binary Synchronous Communication. Protocol supported by the AS/400 for communicating with other AS/400, IBM mainframe, System/36, and System/38 systems.
A form of synchronous communication that uses sync characters to frame the data. Monosync uses a single sync character at the start and end of each frame, bisync uses two.
Communications protocol commonly used in the US
Binary Synchronous communications; a legacy data protocol.
A protocol for communications that is used primarily on mainframes and midrange computers.
