dual in-line package (DIP) switch
A small switch, usually attached to a printed circuit card, in which there are only two settings: on or
off (or 0 or 1). DIP switches are used to configure the card in a semipermanent way.
dual language greetings
The capability of I
NTUITY AUDIX users to create personal greetings in two different languages—
one in a primary language and one in a secondary language. This capability exists when the mul-
tilingual feature is turned on and the prompts for user mailboxes can be in either of the two lan-
guages.
dual tone multifrequency (DTMF)
A way of signaling consisting of a pushbutton or touch-tone dial that sends out a sound consisting
of two discrete tones that can be picked up and interpreted by telephone switches.
E
EIA interface
A set of standards developed by the Electrical Industries Association (EIA) that specifies various
electrical and mechanical characteristics for interfaces between electronic devices such as com-
puters, terminals, and modems. Also known as
RS-232 .
ELA

e-mail
The transfer of a wide variety of message types across a computer network (LAN or WAN). E-mail
messages may be text messages containing only ASCII or may be complex multimedia messages
containing embedded voice messages, software files, and images.
enabled/disabled

enhanced call transfer
An I
NTUITY 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 (ESDI)
A software- and hardware-controlled method used to store data on magnetic peripherals.
