Glossary
A
ADTCP:
An audio driver that provides a TCP interface to MIOSIP for rendering SSML
fragments.
AMR:
Adaptive multi-rate; an audio data compression scheme optimized for speech
coding. This scheme was adopted by 3GPP and is used in video services.
ASR:
Automatic speech recognition; ASR resources, called ASR engines in the MRCP
framework, typically enable users of information systems to speak entries
rather than punching numbers on a keypad. See also MRCP.
Authorization and Usage Indication interface:
XML-over-HTTP mechanism that
authorizes call sessions and gathers information for call detail reports.
B
blind transfer:
A call transfer in which the originating caller is not announced and is
connected directly to destination. In a blind transfer the Vision™ Server
redirects the caller to the callee without remaining in the connection and does
not monitor the outcome.
bridge transfer:
A blind transfer in which the Vision™ Server redirects the caller to
the callee and remains as a listener.
C
Call Server:
Component of the Vision™ Server that manages call control and routing
capabilities.
CallPlacer interface:
XML-over-HTTP mechanism for initiating outbound sessions or
calls for VoiceXML applications.
CCXML:
Call Control Extensible Markup Language; a W3C Working Draft standard
language for providing telephony call control support for dialog systems,
gateways, and conferencing services.
CCXML application definition file:
A file that maps individual CCXML applications
to number ranges that trigger the execution of those applications.
clock:
A periodic reference signal used for synchronization on a transmission facility,
such as a telephony bus. See also clock master, clock slave, clock fallback.
clock master:
A board that drives the clock signal for a system of boards connected
by a bus cable. See also clock slave.
clock slave:
A board that derives its clock signal from a bus cable; the clock signal
is driven by the bus clock master. See also clock master.
consultation transfer:
A call transfer in which the Vision™ Server initiates a
transfer between two parties, but does not stay attached to the call once it is
Dialogic
