VC MUX

Voice Over IP (VoIP)

Virtual Channel Multiplexer.

An emerging technology that is, voice delivered using the Internet Protocol, is a term used in IP telephony for a set of facilities for managing the delivery of voice information using the Internet Protocol (IP). In general, this means sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than in the traditional circuit committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). A major advantage of VOIP and Internet telephony is that it avoids the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

Wink

A private long distance network that uses leased lines to connect computers or LANs. A wide area network is a linking of computers not physically attached through conventional network connectivity. Usually the WAN connection is a dedicated or high grade dial up phone link. It is often done with T1 or T3 connections but can also be through satellite or other technologies.

A signal sent between two telecommunications devices as part of a handshaking protocol. It is a momentary interruption in SF (Single Frequency) tone, indicating that the distant Central Office (CO) is ready to receive the digits that have just been dialed. In telephone switching systems, a single supervisory pulse.
