Telephony Services Application Programming Interface .
Application programming interface that allows computer
telephony applications to be used. TSAPI is supported by
the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System, Release
5.0 and later. See also
Touch-Tone Receiver . Device used to decode DTMF
touch-tones dialed from single-line or Remote Access
telephones.
Uniform Dial Plan . Composed of the local dial plan and
non-local dial plan . A dial plan that allows a caller at any
extension in a private network to dial the same number of
digits to reach any other extension in the private network,
even if the originating extension is physically connected to
one communications system and the terminating extension
is physically connected to a different communications
system.
Practice of numbering of extension ranges, remote access
codes, or other system components to avoid routing
conflicts in network or local calling. For example, Extension
441 is unique when compared to Extension 4410; however,
this is ambiguous, because the system routes as soon as it
matches the digits sent for a call with the digits in a local
dial plan or in a non-local dial plan extension range. When
a caller dials 4410, therefore, the system routes the call to
Extension 441 without considering the last dialed digit.
