bisync
Last modified: Monday, September 01, 1997
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.
