A card on which electrical circuits are printed, and IC chips and electrical components are installed. A 
circuit pack is installed in a switch carrier.

A cabinet formerly called a CMC (compact modular cabinet) which, when equipped with protocol-
conversion hardware and software such as an S8100 Media Server, is a media gateway.

The communication application that runs on Avaya servers to provide call control and telephony 
features. Formerly called MultiVantage software or Avaya Call Processing (ACP).

The software-controlled processor complex that interprets dialing pulses, tones, and keyboard 
characters and makes the proper connections both within the system and external to the system. The 
communications system itself consists of a digital computer, software, storage device, and carriers 
with special hardware to perform the connections. A communications system provides voice and data 
communications services, including access to public and private networks, for telephones and data 
terminals on a customer’s premises. See also,
