Network Interface
Pair, or group of pairs, of modems and data modules with
interconnected RS-232 interfaces that converts digital
signals to analog, or analog signals to digital, thereby
allowing users with ISDN terminal adapter data stations to
communicate with users who have analog modem data
stations .
Circuit pack in the control unit that provides the physical
jacks for connecting telephones and/or outside lines/trunks
to the communications system. In the name of a module,
the first digit indicates the number of line/trunk jacks it
contains; the last digit indicates the number of extension
jacks it contains. If no letters appear after the number, a
line/trunk module provides loop-start lines or an extension
jack module provides analog or tip/ring jacks. For example,
a 408 GS/LS-MLX module contains four line/trunk jacks
and eight digital (MLX) extension jacks, and provides either
loop-start (LS) or ground-start (GS) trunks .
Extension for which one or more CTI applications is
receiving call information. The CTI application does not
have to be directly attached to the equipment at the
extension in order to monitor calls. The call information may
appear on the PC screen of another extension that has
been programmed to receive it. See also
Unmonitored Extension
See MFM .
Analog or digital (MLX) telephone that provides multiple
line buttons for making or receiving calls or programming
features.
Division of a transmission channel into two or more
independent channels—either by splitting the frequency
band into a number of narrower bands or by dividing the
channel into successive time slots.
Customer-provided music source or Magic On Hold
connected to the system through a loop-start jack.
Configuration of communications devices and software
connected for information interchange.
