`determining and establishing the required connections in re—
`sponse to information received from the system control.
`
`network control host A network management central control
`center that is used to configure agents, communicate With
`agents, and display information collected from agents.
`(C/LM) 802.3—1998
`network control program (NCP) A software program that

`network feeder A feeder that supplies energy to a network. See
`also: center of distribution.
`network function Any impedance function, admittance func.
`tion, or other function of p that can be expressed in terms of
`or derived from the determinant of a network and its cofac—
`tors. Notes: 1. This includes not only impedance and admit-
`tance functions as previously defined, but also voltage ratios,
`current ratios, and numerous other quantities. 2. Certain net-
`work functions are sometimes classified together for a given
`purpose (for example, those with common zeros or common
`poles). These represent subgroups that should be specifically
`defined in each special case. 3. In the case of distributed-
`parameter networks, the determinant may be an infinite one:
`the definition still holds. See also: network analysis.
