316 Glossary
Tie line
A private trunk line that connects two ACDs or PBXs across a wide
area.
Toolbar
The row of buttons that appears, by default, at the top of a tool’s main
window. You can execute specific commands quickly by clicking a
button on the toolbar.
Translation route
A target at a Peripheral Gateway that does not map to a specific service,
skill group, or agent. When a call arrives at a translation route, the
Peripheral Gateway (PG) is responsible for determining the ultimate
target. When the ICR routes a call to a translation route, it sends a
message to the PG. This message contains the ultimate target and further
instructions for the PG. For example, the PG might be instructed to
coordinate with a host computer so that the caller’s account number is
displayed on the teleset of the agent who picks up the call.
Translation Route Wizard
An ICR tool that makes it easier to configure translation routes and their
associated targets. You can also use the Translation Route Wizard to
report on or delete translation routes.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
A connection-based Internet protocol that is responsible for packaging
data into packets for transmission over the network by the IP protocol.
TCP provides a reliable flow control mechanism for data in a network.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
The Internet suite of protocols used to connect a world-wide
internetwork of universities, organizations, and corporations. TCP/IP is
the protocol used to communicate between the Central Controller and
devices in the Intelligent CallRouter system. TCP/IP is based primarily
on a connection-oriented transport service, the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP); and a connectionless-mode network service, the Internet
Protocol (IP). TCP/IP provides standards for how computers and
networks with different technologies communicate with each other. See
also Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol.
Trunk
A telephone line connected to a call center and used for incoming or
outgoing calls.
Trunk Group
A collection of trunks associated with a single peripheral and usually
used for a common purpose.
See also Network trunk group.
