SX-200 General Information Guide

is called an A/D converter. The device that converts digital signals into their analog form (if required), is called a D/A Converter.

Analog Transmission

The transmission of a continuously varying signal. For example, in the transmission of speech the magnitude of the signal at any instant in the transmission path is proportional to the magnitude of the original input. This type of transmission is distinct from digital transmission in which the original input is encoded (for example, CODEC) and the resulting line signal is in digital form.

Answering Point

A device to which an incoming call is directed. It usually consists of an industry-standard telephone or an attendant console. Under certain conditions an answering point may be a hunt group, a trunk, an ACD path or a device such as a night bell, an answering machine or a recorder/announcer machine.

Application Processor

A processor containing one or more application programs which meet a customer’s particular needs; for example, a hospital, a governmental agency or a university environment. The processor is usually arranged to be accessed directly by an input/output device. However, it can be connected to the SX-200 EL/ML system by means of suitable interface arrangements, and therefore be capable of access by suitable input/output devices which are also connected to the SX-200 EL/ML system.

Application Program

See Application Processor, page 230.

Associated Data Line

A DTE connection to an SX-200 EL/ML system by means of a dataset which has an associated telephone set. The user sets up a data call by dialing an access code and destination dataset number.

Asynchronous Mode

In asynchronous data transmission the time between bytes (characters) is indeterminate and depends upon external factors. The transmitted data has its own start and stop elements, and thus controls the receiving device. See also Synchronous Mode, page 241.

Attendant

The person assigned to handle calls appearing at the attendant console.

Authorized Access Codes

The SX-200 EL/ML system can only be accessed for programming, maintenance or administration purposes by first entering an authorized access code (user name and password).
