Glossary
access point (802.11b)
This is a piece of hardware using either IEEE 802.11 (1 or 2 M-bits/sec, Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum) or IEEE 802.11B (11 M-bits/sec, Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum) technology, that connects to the internet and acts as a wireless gateway for
devices to connect to the internet. In the context of the Business Communications
Manager, this is the device that the NetVision handset uses to connect to the LAN to
which the Business Communications Manager is connected.
backbone
The major transmission path of a network, 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.
codec
Equipment or circuits that digitally code and decode voice signals. Software that provides
compression/decompression algorithms for voice traffic over IP networks and VoIP
trunks.
communications protocol
A set of agreed-upon communications formats and procedures between devices on a data
communication network.
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.
default gateway
For IP telephony, this refers to the router that closest to the IP telephone.
DS30 split
This term refers to the allocation of media resources by the media services card (MSC) on
the Business Communications Manager. The default setting is a 2/6 split, meaning that DS
01 and DS 08 are automatically used internal media processing, including IP telephony. If
you plan to have a maximum number of IP telephones, you may need to set your system so
that it uses DS30 bus 07 (DS30 3/5 split) as a processor for internal media traffic,
including IP telephony, instead of for digital traffic through a media bay module.
