SCN vs PSTN
In Media5’ and other vendor’s documentation, the terms SCN and PSTN are used. A SCN (Switched Circuit
Network) is a general term to designate a communication network in which any user may be connected to any
other user through the use of message, circuit, or packet switching and control devices. The Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) or a Private Branch eXchange (PBX) are examples of SCNs.
Standards Supported
When available, this document lists the standards onto which features are based. These standards may be
RFCs (Request for Comments), Internet-Drafts, or other standard documents.
The Mediatrix 4100’s implementations are based on the standards, so it’s possible that some behaviour differs
from the official standards.
