redirection criteria
Information that determines when an incoming call is redirected to coverage. Redirection criteria are administered for the
coverage path of each telephone.
Redirection on No Answer
An optional feature that redirects an unanswered ACD call after an administered number of rings. The call is redirect ed
back to the agent.
reduced-instruction-set computing (RISC)
A computer architecture that is designed for speed. RISC computers use specially developed high-spee d processing, and
a relatively simple set of operating commands to execute instructions more quickly than a conv entional personal
computer. RISC is used primarily for operations that are calculation intensive.
Registered Jack 45 (RJ45)
A single-line jack for digital transmission over 4-pair o rdinary telephone wire. RJ telephone jacks and data pl ugs are
registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
release
The action of initiating the disconnection of a call.
release-link trunk (RLT)
A telecommunications channel that is used with centralized attendant service to connect attendant-seeking calls from a
branch location to a main location.
release signal
The signal that one switch sends to another switch to disconnect a call. If the calling switch ends the cal l, the calling
switch sends a forward release signal. If the receiving switch ends the call, the receiving switch sends a backward release
signal.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
A client/server protocol and software with which remote access servers communicate with a central server to authenticate
a dial-in user, and authorize user access to the requested system or service. Companies that use RADIUS can maintain
user profiles in a central database that all remote servers can share, and set up a policy that can be appl i ed at a single
administered network point. RADIUS improves security, and facilitates usage tracking for billing and for keeping
network statistics.
remote home numbering-plan area code (RHNPA)
A foreign numbering-plan area code that the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) feature treats as a home area code. Calls
can be allowed or denied based on the area code and the dialed central office (CO) code, instead of only the area code. If
the call is allowed, the ARS pattern that is used for the call is determined by the six digits of the area code and the CO
code.
Remote Maintenance, Administration, and Traffic System (RMATS)
The equipment and programming that is used to run, maintain, and test a te lephon e system remotely, usually by dialing in
to the system on a special telephone line.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
A standard monitoring specification for sh a r e d Et he r net a n d to k en r in g m e dia th a t is defined in RFC 1757. With RMON,
various network monitors and console systems can exchange network-mon itoring data. The RMON specification defines
a set of statistics and functions that can be exchanged between console managers and network pro bes that are RMON
compliant. As such, RMON provides network admini strators with comprehensive network-fault diagno sis, planning, and
performance-tuning information. RMON has two levels. RMON-I analyzes the MAC layer. RMON-II analyzes the upper
layers 3 and above. See also Switched Monitoring (SMON).
Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE)
A standard of both CCITT and ISO that defines a notation and services that support interactions between the va rious
entities that make up a distributed application.
