Appendix C Glossary
911
The slogan for the United States is “One Nation, One Number” and “911” is that 
number. The goal is to be able to dial 911 from anywhere in the United States to 
request emergency service.
APM
Applications Manager. The support platform or software which resides on the UAP 
and provides the user with management capabilities within the Open Applications 
Interface system.
Beeper Interface
The device that will broadcast encoded information over radio frequencies to 
receiving devices that can decode these transmissions.
Conference Call
Connects two callers and an agent into a 3-way conversation; adds or rings a third 
party after two parties are in conversation. 
Full Capcode Paging
A paging mode that allows the signaling of a beeper device by its pager address 
(capcode and function digit).
IP
Interface processor. A module within the NEAX2400 which services the OAI 
system.
IPC 
Interprocess communication. A method used by one UNIX application process to 
inform another UNIX application process within the same discrete device.
My Line
Refers to the physical station used by a caller to make a call or answer a call, as 
opposed to one of the sublines that could be used for a call. The MyLine is very 
important because C911 needs to know the physical location of the caller, not what 
line was used. A line (subline, virtual,.) could be on several different phones in 
several different areas and would not help in knowing the origin of the call. 
NENA
National Emergency Number Association
OAI
Open Applications Interface. A proprietary protocol and set of routines that links 
the NEAX2400 to a UAP. Programs executing on the UAP are able to monitor and 
control switch features and telephones.
UAP 
User Application Processor. General purpose multi-tasking computer supporting 
System V UNIX and the Applications Manager running OAI.
