dynamic host configuration protocol
A protocol for dynamically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network.
dynamic link library
A library of executable functions or data that can be used by a Windows
application. Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a
program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the
DLL. A DLL can be used by several applications at the same time.
dynamic port pool
A MIG RLC feature that is similar to multi-user ports in that multiple stations
can share ports on the MIG RLC. However, users sharing ports from a dynamic
pool are assigned to the first available port on the MIG RLC.

ECC
See error correction code.
EEPROM
See electronically erasable programmable read-only media.
ELAN
See embedded local area network.
electronically erasable programmable read-only media
A memory chip that needs only a higher than normal voltage and current to erase
its contents. An EEPROM chip can be erased and reprogrammed without taking
it out of its socket. An EEPROM chip gives a computer and its peripherals a
means of storing data without the need for a constant supply of electricity.
embedded local area network
This is the network connection from the PBX to the MIG RLC. It is an Ethernet
LAN that is segmented from the rest of the Ethernet network and enables
signaling and administration access to the MIG RLC. Nortel Networks
recommends the following:
IP traffic should not be routed between the main network and the ELAN.
An IP route should not be established between the two LANs.
