SPM

(System Programming and Maintenance) DOS-, UNIX-, or

 

Windows-based application for programming the system.

square key

Configuration in Key mode operation in which all outside

 

lines appear on all telephones.

 

star configuration

A private network arrangement where either three or more

 

communications systems are connected with one system

 

acting as the hub system. See also series configuration.

station

See extension.

 

station jack

See extension jack.

Switched 56

DS1 Switched 56 service is an end-to-end digital, 56-kbps,

service

full duplex, synchronous, circuit-switched service offering.

 

The service is offered by network service providers and by

 

some Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) as circuit-switched,

 

56-kbps service. T1-emulated tandem tie trunks in a private

 

network can be programmed for data.

 

switchhook flash

Momentary (320 ms to 1 second) on-hook signal used as a

 

control; may be directed to the control unit or to a host

 

switch outside the system. Also called “Recall” or “timed

 

flash.”

 

switch identifier

A number assigned to a tandem trunk in a private network.

 

It identifies the system connected to the far end of the

 

trunk. Switch identifiers are based on the type of system

 

and its distance from the system where the identifier is

 

assigned. See also satellite system and non-satellite

 

system.

 

synchronous data

Method of transmitting a continuous digital data stream in

transmission

which the transmission of each binary bit is synchronized

 

with a master clock. See also asynchronous data

 

transmission.

 

system

Test of all trunks, telephones, data terminals, and features

acceptance test

after installation to ensure that they are working correctly.

System Access

See SA buttons.

 

buttons

 

 

system date and

Date and time that appear on MLX display telephones and

time

SMDR reports.

 

system

Programming of system functions and features that affect

programming

most users, performed from an MLX-20L telephone or a

 

computer using SPM. See also extension programming

 

and centralized telephone programming.
