that can be populated with TN2224, TN2214
or TN2181.
DCP Network Interface Module The Avaya DCP Module has the same
network capacity as a Polycom Quad BRI
network interface module. The chief
difference is that it connects to an Avaya
PBX rather than ISDN network interfaces.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP
servers permit multiple devices to share a
group of IP addresses, assigning one to a
specific device as needed.
Digital Line A telephone line that carries signals in
discontinuous streams of on and off pulses.
The audio source must be coded into on and
off pulses, and decoded into an analog
signal at the far end destination.
PBX telephone systems and ISDN are
examples of systems that use digital
signaling. PBX and digital Centrex systems
use proprietary non-standard signaling,
forcing customers to purchase proprietary
phones.
