Programming Operations Guide
dynamic IP address
Dynamic IP addresses are assigned to computers by an IP address server, as the computer
needs it. Usually there is a particular range or scope of IP addresses that your network
uses. With dynamic IP addressing, a computer can have a different IP address every time it
connects to the network. Other devices must know the IP address of the computer so they
can communicate with it. The IP address server manages the assignment of IP addresses to
the client workstations. See also static IP address.

EDO
Extended Data-Out (EDO) is a type of Dynamic Random Access Memory (RAM) where
storing data to and reading data from the memory is faster.
eKIM
An enhanced Key Indicator Module (eKIM) is a KIM attached to a 7316E digital phone
that has been configured under CAP/KIM assignment. When programmed as an eKIM,
the module supports line appearances, multiple appearances of a target line, and hunt
group appearances. Neither an eKIM or an OKIM support Hunt Group DNs as autodial
keys.
Emergency 911 dialing
The ability to access a public emergency response system by dialing 911. State and local
requirements for support of Emergency 911 Dialing service by Customer Premises
Equipment vary. Ask your local telecommunications service provider about compliance
with applicable laws and regulations. Note, there are special restrictions about setting up
this service on IP telephones that are connected to the Business Communications
Manager.
emergency telephone
A single-line telephone, also referred to as a 500/2500 telephone, that becomes active
when there is no power to the Business Communications Manager base unit.
enbloc dialing
A system feature where the system does not dial out a number until all the call numbers
have been entered. This allows the system to determine where the call needs to be routed
outside the system.
ethernet
A Local Area Network (LAN) protocol that is the original Carrier Sense Multiple Access/
Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) LAN that allows computers, and Business Communications
Manager base units to listen for pauses before they communicate. Ethernet LANs use
coaxial cable or twisted pair wiring to connect network equipment.
