T
T1 A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbit/s, used in North 
America. Typically channelized into 24 DS0s, each is capable of carrying a 
single voice conversation or data stream. Uses two pairs of twisted pair wires.
T1 Smart Blade The Cisco Systems proprietary conferencing card enhanced 
with T1 PSTN connectivity. A T1 Smart Blade is required to provide physical 
connectivity to a T1 telephone network.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. An open network 
standard that defines how devices from different manufacturers communicate 
with each other over interconnected networks. TCP/IP protocols are the 
foundation of the Internet.
team A predefined set of users. Typically used as a shortcut when inviting 
the same group of users.
time zone The temporal equivalent of a geographical location in terms of 
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). In MeetingPlace each profile has a time zone 
setting, which should be set to reflect the office location where the user 
regularly does business.
touch-tone interface Any prompts or actions related to the telephone.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol See 
trunk In telephony communications, the circuit between two telephony 
nodes.
tunneling A technology that enables one network to send its data through 
another network’s connections. Tunneling works by encapsulating a network 
protocol within packets carried by the second network.
twisted pair Relatively low-speed transmission medium consisting of two 
insulated wires, shielded or unshielded, in regular spiral patterns. The wires 
are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted 
pairs in the cable. Twisted pair is common in telephone wiring and is 
increasingly common in data networks. Other high-speed forms of cable 
include coaxial and fiber optic cables. 
U
UL Software licenses that allow users to access a particular feature or 
function.
UNC Universal Naming Convention. The system for indicating names of 
servers and computers, such as \Servername\Sharename.
