🗑
Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP)   Provides VoIP trunk connectivity to the PSTN to provide a cost savings over traditional telephony service providers (TSP).  
🗑
digital signal processors (DSP)    
🗑
Cisco Unity Express (CUE)   The unified messaging platform that is integrated into a Cisco Unified CME router; capable of supporting up to 250 users.  
🗑
interactive voice response (IVR)   An automated system that provides a recorded, automated process to callers accessing your voice network.  
🗑

🗑
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)   Industry-standard method of supplying power over an Ethernet cable to attached devices.  
🗑
Cisco Inline Power   Cisco-proprietary, prestandard method of supplying power over an Ethernet cable to attached devices.  
🗑
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)   Protocol that allows Cisco devices to discover other, directly attached Cisco devices. Switches also use CDP to send voice VLAN information to attached IP phones.  
🗑
