Announcement If you want to call your employees or family members to a meeting
or the dinner table, you could call each one of them individually or
simply use the announcement function. With just one call, you reach
all the announcement-enabled telephones without the subscribers
having to pick up the receiver.
Announcement func- Performance feature of a PBX. On suitable telephones (e.g. system
tion telephones), announcements can be made as on an intercom.
Bit Binary digit. Smallest unit of information in computer technology.
Signals are represented in the logical states "0" and "1".
Bundle The external connections of larger PBXs can be grouped into
bundles. When an external call is initiated by the exchange code or
in the event of automatic external line access a bundle released for
this subscriber is used to establish the connection. If a subscriber
has authorisation for several bundles, the connection is established
using the first released bundle. If one bundle is occupied, the next
released bundle is used. If all the released bundles are occupied,
the subscriber hears the engaged tone.
Busy On Busy Call to engaged team subscriber. If one subscriber in a team has
taken the receiver off the hook or is on the telephone, you can de-
cide whether other calls are to be signalled for this team. The setting
for reaching a subscriber can be toggled between "Standard" and
"Busy On Busy". In the basic configuration, it is set to Standard. If
Busy on Busy is set for a team, other callers hear the engaged tone.
DECT Digital European Cordless Telecommunication. European standard
for wireless telephones and wireless PBXs. Internal calls can be
made free of charge between several handheld units. Another ad-
vantage is the higher degree of interception protection (GAP).
Digital exchange Allows computer-controlled crossbar switches to set up a connection
quickly, and special features such as inquiries, call waiting, three-
party conference and call forwarding to be activated. All T-Com ex-
changes have been digital since January 1998.
Digital voice trans- As a result of the internationally standardised Pulse Code Modula-
mission tion (PCM), analogue voice signals are converted to a digital pulse
flow of 64 kbps. Advantages: Better voice quality and less suscept-
ibility to faults during analogue voice transmission.
