Glossary

Italics

The use of italics in the glossary denotes multiple usage of the italicized text throughout the glossary.

Numerics

2B data	Digital information carried by two B-channelsfor better
	performance and quality; the bit rate is twice that of one
	B-channel used alone.
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 56-kbps, 64-kbps
	restricted, and 64-kbps clear circuit-switched data calls.
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) Computer-based
	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
	multiline telephone or to an extension jack.
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.
