Glossary and abbreviations

An optional feature that redirects an unanswered ringing ACD call after an administered number of rings. The 
call is then redirected back to the agent.

To release a call is to initiate its disconnection.

The signal one switch sends to another to disconnect a call. If the calling switch ends the call, it sends a “for-
ward” release signal. If the receiving switch ends the call, it sends a “backward” release signal.

A foreign numbering-plan area code that is treated as a home area code by the Automatic Route Selection 
(ARS) feature. Calls can be allowed or denied based on the area code and the dialed CO code rather than just 
the area code. If the call is allowed, the ARS pattern used for the call is determined by these six digits.

A CCITT and ISO standard that defines a notation and services that support interactions between the various 
entities that make up a distributed application.

Ringer equivalency number

A tone to signal that at least one of the facilities, such as a trunk or a digit transmitter, needed for the call was 
not available.

Software that is used in conjunction with the system printer to schedule the days of the week and time of day 
that the desired reports are to be printed.
