telecommunications system that routes voice and data information between
various endpoints, such as telephones, terminals, and computers. It provides
highly robust networking capabilities and includes an extensive set of standard
features, such as Attendant Consoles, Voice Processing Interface, Call
Coverage, DS1/E1 Connectivity, Hospitality Support, Recorded Announcement,
and Trunk-to-Trunk Transfer. It also allows for the addition of optional features
and upgrades to the system as business needs change.

example, .com, .org, and .net are domains.
An Internet mechanism where Uniform Resource Locator (URL) addresses are
translated to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. For example, www.avaya.com

servers can exist inside private networks that are separated from the Internet.
An agent uses this feature to disconnect from a call and place another call or to
disconnect the last person added to a conference call.
A form of communication between Windows applications that allows the
exchange of data, information, and commands.
See Expert Agent Selection (EAS).
