SL-1
This is a type of PRI line that can be used to create a private network between two
systems. It also supports the MCDN protocol.
VoIP programming note: Prior to BCM
3.5, the SL-1 protocol was used as the gateway protocol for VoIP trunking. For BCM 3.5
and newer software, the CSE protocol is recommended for most VoIP trunking, unless
otherwise specified by the network administrator. VoIP trunking information is contained
in the
IP Telephony Configuration Guide .
SMB
The Server Message Block (SMB) is a message format used by Windows to share files,
directories and devices.
SNMP
Simple Network Management (SNMP) is the protocol governing network management
and the monitoring of network devices and their functions.
SPIDs
Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs) are a number that identifies a specific ISDN line. When
you obtain ISDN service, your telephone company assigns a SPID to your line. Part of the
initialization procedure is to configure your ISDN terminal adapter to use this SPID.
Most telephone companies in North America use the Generic SPID Format, which is a
14-digit number. The first 10 digits identify the telephone number, called the Directory
Number (DN). The remaining four digits identify a particular ISDN device, in the case
where multiple devices share the same Directory Number.
Each ISDN BRI line has two telephone numbers. Each of these telephone numbers has a
SPID. Refer to
“Adding SPIDs” on page 280 .
square system
This is a basic office system where all telephones have all the lines assigned to individual
indicator buttons. If the system has a receptionist, the receptionist answers the call, then
calls or pages the person.
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security protocol that the Business Communications
Manager uses to provide secure access to the system, including the Unified Manager. The
access application recommended by Nortel is PuTTY SSH (by SSH inc.). This application
replaces the Telnet access used on BCM 3.0 and previous versions of the Business
Communications Manager. SSH is accessed through the
Install Clients button on the first
page of the Unified Manager. Refer to the Management User Guide for instructions about
installing it and using it to access the system.
