remote alarm indication (RAI)
On DS1, DS3, E1, and E3 interfaces, a signal transmitted in the outgoing
direction when the interface determines that specific defects have persisted
long enough to declare a received signal failure.
remote defect indication (RDI)
A signal transmitted in the upstream direction when a downstream fault is
detected. The RDI signal is used at the physical and the ATM layer.

The remoteGroup component allows the X.25 DTE LLP (for example) to be
shared among a number of protocol ports. This allows separate virtual routers
to share the same physical X.25 connection into a WAN. Note that at least one
remoteGroup component is required for each X25Dte component.
