Term or Definiton
Meaning
Gateway
In SmartWare terminology a
gateway
refers to a special
purpose component that connects two contexts of different
types, for example the CS and the IP context. It handles
connections between different technologies or protocols.
SmartWare includes an H.323 and IsoIP gateway.
H.323
ITU-T recommendation H.323 describes terminals,
equipment and services for multimedia communication over
Local Area Networks (LAN) which do not provide a
guaranteed quality of service. H.323 terminals and
equipment may carry real-time voice, data and video, or any
combination, including videotelephony.
H.323 RAS
H.323 registration authentication service (RAS) is a sub
protocol of H.323. The RAS signaling protocol performs
registration, admissions, and bandwidth changes and
disengage procedures between the VoIP gateway and the
gatekeeper.
High-Pass Filter
A high-pass filter is normally used to cancel noises at the
voice coder input. See also post filter
Host
Computer system on a network. Similar to node, except that
host usually implies a PC or workstation, whereas node
generally applies to any networked system, including access
servers and routers. See also node.
Hostname
Name given to a computer system, e.g. a PC or workstation.
Hunt Group
In the SmartNode terminology, a hunt groups allows you to
apply the interface configuration to multiple physical ports.
Within the hunt groups free channels for outgoing calls are
hunted on all available ports. In general a hunt group
represents a group of trunk lines as used for direct dialing in
(DDI).
Interface
In SmartWare an interface is a logical construct that provides
higher-layer protocol and service information. An Interface
is configured as a part of a context, and is independent of a
physical port or circuit.
Interface Card
An optional plug-in card offering one or more ports of a
specific physical standard for connecting the SmartNode to
the outside world.
ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network
ISDN Services
ISDN Services comprise voice, data, video and
supplementary services. Supplementary services are services
available in the ISDN network, such as calling line
identification presentation (CLIP) or call waiting (CW). See
also Q.SIG
ISoIP
ISDN over IP is patent pending solution of Inalp Networks
to carry ISDN services over IP networks.
