A packet-switching scheme is an efficient way to handle transmissions on a
connectionless network such as the Internet. An alternative scheme,
circuit-switching, is used for networks allocated for voice connections. In
circuit-switching, lines in the network are shared among many users as with
packet-switching, but each connection requires the dedication of a particular path
for the duration of the connection.
Packet and datagram are similar in meaning. A protocol similar to TCP, the User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) uses the term datagram.
Page
A feature you can use to make announcements over the Enterprise Edge system.
You can make page announcements over the telephone speakers and/or external
speakers.
Page Time out
A setting that controls how long a Page Announcement can last. It can be assigned
under Feature settings in System programming.
Page zone
An area in the office that receives internal page announcements independently of
the rest of the office.
Each page zone is identified by a number. Telephones are assigned to page zones
under Capabilities in Terminals and Sets programming.
PAP
The Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a procedure used by PPP servers to
validate a connection request. PAP works as follows:
1. After the link is established, the requestor sends a password and an id to the
server.
2. The server either validates the request and sends back an acknowledgement,
terminates the connection, or offers the requestor another chance.
Passwords are sent without security and the originator can make repeated attempts
to gain access. For these reasons, a server that supports CHAP will offer to use that
protocol before using PAP.
Parallel port
A port that transfers data through multiple wires so that eight bits are transmitted
simultaneously. Parallel ports usually use a 25-pin interface that transmits and
receives data one byte at a time using a separate data line for each bit.
Park prefix
See Call park prefix.
