Numerics

7500B data module | See ISDN 7500B Data Module |
A
account code | Code used to associate incoming and outgoing calls with |
| corresponding accounts, employees, projects, and clients. |
ACCUNET | AT&T’s switched digital service for |
| restricted, and |
address | A coded representation of the destination of data or of the |
| data’s originating terminal, such as the dialed extension |
| number assigned to the data terminal. Multiple terminals on |
| one communications line must each have a unique |
| address. |
ADDS | (Automated Document Delivery System) |
| application that stores documents in a database and |
| automatically faxes them on request. |
adjunct | Optional equipment used with the communications system, |
| such as an alerting device or modem that connects to a |

ALS | (Automatic Line Selection) Programmed order in which the |
| system makes outside lines available to a user. |
ambiguous | Numbering of extension ranges, remote access codes, or |
numbering | other system components that causes conflicts in network |
| operations. These numbers can be unique and still be |
| ambiguous. For example, Extension 441 is different from |
| Extension 4410. However, for UDP routing purposes, the |
| two numbers are ambiguous and a call intended for |
| Extension 4410 is misrouted on the first three digits sent, to |
| Extension 441. See also unambiguous numbering. |
