Glossary
Terminology
Client
Piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a service made
available by a server.
CLIP No Screening
Phone service for outgoing calls that allows the party called to see a
customer-defined phone number instead of the phone number assigned by
the network provider.
In this context, no screening means that the customer-defined number is not
checked by the public exchange against the assigned numbers. It may
contain any phone number you define (e.g., a service phone number).
Codec
Method to encode (digitise) analogue voice data for transmission and
decode it again to convert it into back into voice. There are various codecs
that feature different voice data compression rates thereby require different
band widths for data transmission. The equality of VoIP calls is dependent
on the codec used.
