Call Answer	An AUDIX feature that allows AUDIX to answer a call and record a message when
	the subscriber is unavailable. Callers may be redirected to AUDIX through the call
	coverage or Call Forwarding switch features. Subscribers may record a personal
	greeting for these callers.
Call Coverage	A switch feature that defines a preselected path for calls to follow if the first (or
	second) coverage points are not answered. AUDIX may be placed at the end of a
	coverage path to handle redirected calls through call coverage, Send All Calls, Go To
	Cover, and so forth.
Call-	The set of analog port boards on the switch that connects subscribers and users to
Distribution	AUDIX by distributing new calls to idle ports. This group (or split) is called
Group	Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) on System 85, Enhanced Uniform Call
	Distribution (EUCD) on a DIMENSION PBX, and Uniform Call Distribution (UCD)
	on System 75.
Call Vectoring	A System 85 R2V4 and DEFINITY Generic 2 and Generic 3 feature that uses a vector
	(switch program), allowing a switch administrator to customize the behavior of calls
	sent to an ACD group.
Camp-On	A shutdown option that waits for ports to become idle before blocking service to
	them, allowing subscribers to finish calls in progress. A data link busy-out uses
	camp-on blocking.
Central Office	A main telephone office where private customer lines a terminated and connected to
(CO)	the public network through common carriers.
Central	The hardware that controls AUDIX subsystem operation (data transfer, Input/Output,
Processing Unit	and logical instructions) by executing instructions obtained from memory. The
(CPU)	Feature Processor (FP) and Data Base Processor (DBP) CPUs form the major AUDIX
	subsystems. AUDIX-L also has a Voice Session Processor (VSP) CPU to assist the
	FP-CPU.
Circuit Pack	The physical box that contains circuit packs and connects them to a backplane.
Carrier
Class of Service	The standard set of features given to subscribers when they are first administered (set
(COS)	up with an AUDIX Voice Mailbox).
Colocated	An AUDIX installed in the same physical location as the host switch (also called a
	local installation).
Closing	Taking an active filesystem out of service, usually by doing an administrative or
Filesystems	maintenance shutdown. Closed filesystems may still be mounted (operated on but not
	written to).
Colocated	Two or more adjuncts that are serving the same switch (i.e., each has voice port
Adjunct	connections to the switch) or that are serving different switches but can be networked
	through a direct RS-232 connection due to their proximity.
Commands	For AUDIX users, commands are one- or two-key touch tones that control a Voice
	Mailbox activity or function (such as 0 or *H). A processor command is an
	instruction to the system, usually sent from a display terminal (such as			CTRL	+
