Glossary, Acronyms, and Abbreviations - IIUSA

ADDM - asynchronous digital data modem
Address - Digital information (a combination of bits) that identifies
the location of a terminal, peripheral device, a node, or any other
unit or component in a network. Used mainly for routing purposes;
in telephony the number entered by the caller that identifies the
party called.
Address - Packet - The address packet is a call setup-signaling
packet that carries the call setup information. It is transmitted in
accordance with the standards in CCITT Signaling System
Number 7. The Call Controller task at each node sets up call
resources based on information in the address packet.
Address - Signals - Signals used to convey call destination
information, such as telephone station code, central office code,
and area code. Some forms of address signals are call pulses (for
example, dial or multifrequency pulses).
