Glossary
Backbone A network’s major transmission path, handling high-volume, high-
density traffic.
Bandwidth A measure of information carrying capacity available for a transmission
medium, shown in bits per second. The greater the bandwidth, the more
information sent in a given amount of time.
Bridge LAN equipment providing interconnection between two networks using
the same addressing structure. A bridge filters out packets that remain
on one LAN and forwards packets for other LANs.
CBQ Class Based Queuing
CD-ROM Compact Disk - Read Only Memory
CDP Coordinated Dialing Plan
CO Central Office
Codec Equipment or circuits that digitally code and decode voice signals
Communications
Protocol
A set of agreed-upon communications formats and procedures between
devices on a data communication network.
CPU Central Processing Unit
Data Communications Processes and equipment used to transport signals from a data
processing device at one location to a data processing device at another
location.
DID Direct Inward Dialing
DN Directory Number
DOD Direct Outward Dialing
DSP Digital Signal Processor
E&M E&M is a type of analog trunk that detects line disconnect.
Enbloc All dialed digits sent in a single expression.
Full-duplex
transmission
Simultaneous two-way separate transmission in both directions.
G.711 A codec that delivers “toll quality” audio at 64 kbit/s. This codec is best
for speech because it has small delay, and is very resillient to channel
errors.
G.729 A codec that provides near toll quality at a low delay. Uses compression
to 8 kbit/s (8:1 compression rate). The G.729 codec allows the
Enterprise Edge IP Telephony to support only four VoIP ports.
G.723.1 A codec that provides the greatest compression, 5.3 kbit/s or 6.3 kbit/s.
Normally indicated for multimedia applications such as H.323
videoconferencing. Allows connectivity to Microsoft-based equipment.
GUI Graphical User Interface
H.323 The ITU standard for multimedia communications over an IP network.
Enterprise Edge IP Telephony supports H.323.
Hub Center of a star topology network or cabling system.
