Glossary of Terms
EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol, or EAP, a universal authentication framework
frequently used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point connections defined by RFC
3748. EAP provides some common functions and a negotiation of the desired
authentication methods, two of which are EAP-MD5 and EAP-TLS. When EAP is
invoked by an 802.1X enabled NAS (Network Access Server) device such as an
802.11 a/b/g Wireless Access Point, modern EAP methods provide a secure
authentication mechanism and negotiate a secure PMK (Pair-wise Master Key)
between the client and the NAS.
Gatekeeper H.323 application that performs essential control, administrative, and managerial
functions in the media server. Sometimes called CLAN in Avaya documents.
H.323 A TCP/IP-based protocol for VoIP signaling.
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, used to request and transmit pages on the World Wide
Web.
HTTPS A secure version of HTTP.
IETF Internet Engineering Task Force, the organization that produces standards for
communications on the internet.
LAN Local Area Network.
LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol. All IP telephones with an Ethernet interface support
the transmission and reception of LLDP frames on the Ethernet line interface in
accordance with IEEE standard 802.1AB. SIP Software Release 2.0 and up supports
LLDP.
MAC Media Access Control, ID of an endpoint.
PPM Personal Profile Manager, part of the SIP Enablement Services (SES) platform. PPM
is responsible for maintaining and managing end users' personal information in the
system.

quality over packet-based networks.
RTCP Real-time Transport Control Protocol.
RTP Real-time Transport Protocol.
SCEP
Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol, used to obtain a digital certificate.
SES SIP Enablement Services.
SIP Session Initiation Protocol, an open standard defined initially by IETF RFC 3261. SIP
is an alternative to H.323 for VoIP signaling, both of which 9600 Series IP Telephones
support.
SRTCP Secure Real-time Transport Control Protocol.
SRTP Secure Real-time Transport Protocol.
