UDP | (Uniform Dial Plan) Composed of the local dial plan and |
| |
| extension in a private network to dial the same number of |
| digits to reach any other extension in the private network, |
| even if the originating extension is physically connected to |
| one communications system and the terminating extension |
| is physically connected to a different communications |
| system. |
unambiguous | The practice of numbering of extension ranges, remote |
numbering | access codes, or other system components to avoid routing |
| conflicts in network or local calling. For example, Extension |
| 441 is unique when compared to Extension 4410. However |
| it is ambiguous, because a system routes as soon as it |
| matches the digits sent for a call with the digits in a local |
| plan or in a |
| caller dials 4410, a system routes the call to Extension 441 |
| immediately, without considering the last dialed digit. |
Uniform Dial Plan | See UDP. |
uninterruptible | See UPS. |
power supply |
|
unit load | Measure of the power load drain of a module, telephone, or |
| adjunct. |
unmonitored | An extension for which no CTI application is receiving call |
extension | information. See also CTI link and monitored extension. |
unrestricted data | Unrestricted data channels (also called clear data |
channel | channels) allow the transmission of occurrences of more |
| than seven contiguous zero bits. If an unrestricted data |
| channel is requested and only restricted channels are |
| available, the call will be rejected. See also restricted data |
| channel. |
