A feature that functions as a hardwired link between two ports on a
System 85 (R2V4) or Generic 2 communications system, providing a full-

connection. See also permanent switched connection.
A terminal dialing feature that automatically originates a call to a
preassigned number if the user enters a carriage return without first
entering an address in response to a dial prompt.
A device used to separate two or more signals that were previously
combined by a compatible multiplexer and transmitted over a single
channel.

communications-system station set. See also feature-access code and
trunk-access code.
