dialed number identification service (*DNIS_SVC)
An available channel service assignment on the Lucent Technologies Intuity system. Assigning
this service to a channel permits the Lucent Technologies Intuity system to interpret information
from the switch and operate the appropriate application for the incoming telephone call.
digital
Discrete data or signals such as 0 and 1, as opposed to analog continuous signals.
digital communications protocol (DCP)
A 64 Kbps digital data transmission code with a 160 Kbps bipolar bit stream divided into two infor-
mation (I) channels and one signaling (S) channel.
digital networking
A method of transferring messages between messaging systems in a digital format.
directory
An feature allowing you to hear a subscriber’s name and extension after typing **N at the activity
menu. Also, a group of related files accessed by a common name in software.
display terminal
A data terminal with a screen and keyboard used for displaying screens and performing mainte-
nance or administration activities.
distributed communications system (DCS)
A network of two or more switches that uses logical and physical data links to provide full or partial
feature transparency. Voice links are made using tie trunks.
dual language greetings
The capability of subscribers to create personal greetings in two different languages — one in a
primary language and one in a secondary language. This capability exists when the multilingual
feature is turned on and the prompts for subscriber mailboxes can be in either of the two lan-
guages.
E
electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Discharge of a static charge on a surface or body through a conductive path to ground. An ESD
can be damaging to integrated circuits.
enhanced call transfer
An Intuity AUDIX feature that allows compatible switches to transmit messages digitally over the
BX.25 (data) link. This feature is used for quick call transfers and requires a fully integrated digital
switch. Callers can only transfer to other extensions in the switch dial plan.
enhanced serial data interface
A software- and hardware-controlled method used to store data on magnetic peripherals.
equipped/unequipped
The state of a networking channel that indicates whether Lucent Technologies Intuity software has
recognized it. Devices must be equipped before they can be enabled (made active). See also

.
error message
