Terminology
System Phone
Thanks to their integration into the system, system telefphones simplify the
operation of the entire system and additionally offer numerous possibilities
to use PBX functions and signalise their status visually and, in part, accus-
tically.
T
TAPI
Phone Application Programming Interface - name of a standardised
software interface for computer-assisted telephony (CTI). TAPI ensures that
software and hardware from various manufacturers are compatible with
each other.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol - transport protocol that segments data into
packets up to a specified size and reliably sends these individual data
packets in the correct sequence to the recipient address. In this process,
every data packet sent must be resent until it has been confirmed as arrived.
In order to make sure this happens, a large amount of information is sent
along with the actual payload data. Most Internet services are implemented
with TCP, e.g., HTTP (WWW), SMTP/POPS (e-mail), etc.
