About This Book
Terms and Conventions Used
Centrex line). However, in actual usage, the terms line and trunk are
often applied interchangeably. In this book, we use line/trunk and
lines/trunks to refer to facilities in general. Specifically, we refer to digital
facilities . We also use terms such as personal line, ground-start trunk,
Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunk, and so on. When you talk to your local
telephone company central office, ask them which terms they use for the
specific facilities they connect to your system.
