NT/NTBA
Network terminating device (NT = Network Terminator and NTBA = Network
Terminator Basic Access). The public T-ISDN is terminated with an NT. The NT acts as
a bridge to the existing telephone outlet. Only the NT can or may be connected to
the telephone outlet. Under no circumstances should analogue terminals also be
connected to the phone outlet. ISDN terminals and additional ISDN outlets are
connected to the NT.

integrated loudspeaker. See also "Handsfree talking".
Outgoing MSN, freely selectable
A performance feature which helps you to individually determine which MSN should
be used for the following call. This is not only important for the phone number
display on the called handset but also for billing charges. This is because call
charges, which can be broken down free of charge according to MSN on the network
provider invoice, are billed according to the MSN used to make the call.

to continue your call from another telephone with the same connection. The
connection is retained while it is parked.
