Neurologically based factor, the neural connectors primarily formed during gestation, similar to the hard wiring of a computer
Line cords and/or handset cords are permanently attached to the unit, and are not consumer replaceable
Originally used to indicate a fixed, permanent hardware connection Now expanded to include a selected option, in hardware or software, which cannot be easily rewired or re-programmed by the user
Something integrated or built into a computer's hardware and thus not easily removed or modified In networking, a computer connected by a direct circuit instead of through a router or switching network like most networked computers
If an ability, approach, or type of activity is hard-wired into the brain, it is a basic one and cannot be changed. Others think that the rules for what is `musical' are hard-wired in our brains to some degree. computer systems that are hard-wired are controlled by hardware rather than software and cannot be easily changed by the user
permanent high-speed connection to Internet, as opposed to modem-and-phone-line connection Hard-wiring requires infrastructure in office (including NAM's (wall jacks), cabling, hubs in the building, and appropriate hardware in the desktop computer itself
Applied to equipment that connects its power source with wiring (generally customer or contractor-supplied) attached directly to terminal blocks or distribution panels rather than via an input line cord and output receptacle
Manner of placing an ad in a fixed position on a particular Web page so that it is delivered each time the page is downloaded (in contrast with dynamic rotation) Top
Describes a system designed in a way that does not allow for flexibility or future expansion May also refer to a device or computer connected directly to a network
Applied to a telephone set, it is the connection of the telephone set line (mounting) cord to a connecting block with screw terminations Under the FCC's Registration Program for terminal equipment, only those telephone sets which were connected to the telecommunications network in a "hardwired" manner prior to July 1, 1979, may remain connected in such a fashion
Describes any equipment connected to its power source by hardware attached directly to terminal blocks or distribution panels Harmonic Distortion - The presence of harmonics that change the AC voltage waveform from a simple sinusoidal to complex waveform Harmonic distortion can be generated by a load and fed back to the AC utility line, causing power problems to other equipment on the same circuit Hot-Swappable Batteries - A feature which enables the user to change batteries without powering down the connected load Hot-Swappable Power Modules - A feature which enables the user to change power modules without powering down the connected load
