`2. A groupoftelephone extensions on an automatic call distributor (ACD). The ACD answers the incoming calls then checks to
`see if any agents’ phonesare free.
`If none are free,it delivers the caller a message and then
`putsthe caller on hold. Which line
`she call has comein on may determine which group of agents shoutd handle that call. They would be called a Distribution Group.
`Jncethe call is released from hold, it may be sent to a member of that Distribution Groupfollowing some pre-determined math-
`ematical formula — for example, so that everyone’s workload is kept constant, or a group of people are kept busy,
`Distribution Service In ISON applications, a telecommunicationsservice that allows one-wayof information from one point
`in the networkto other points in the network with or without user individual presentation control.
`Distribution Voltage Drop The voliage drop betweenany two defined points of interest in a power distribution system.
`Distributor A company with a contractual relationship with a manufacturer to buy equipmental a preset price. The manufac-
`turer providestraining, advertising and warranty support. Often called an authorized dealer, although a dealer may be one step
`lower in the distribution chain. A distributoris often used as a generic term for any supplier. Therefore you shouldclarify whether
`a distributer is an authorized distributor.
`DIT Directory Information Tree. The global tree of entries corresponding to information objects in the OS! X.500 Directory,
`Dithering Dithering is an imaging term with at least two meanings. One meaning thatits the processing of an image con-
`taining morecolors than a system can handle to an image containing exactly the right numberof colors that the system can han-
`dle. For example, someof the color images on my laptop contain 16 million colors. But my laptop(the way | have it set up)will
`only handle 256 colors. If | ask my image display software lo display that image, it will “dither” it to 256 colors. This meansit
`will give its best shot guess at what the image should lookfike.
`In another meaning,ditheringis patterning black and white dots to approximate shadesof grey on a scanned image.
`Diurnal Phase Shift The phaseshift of electromagnetic signals associated with daily changesin the ionosphere. The major
`changes usually eccur during the period of time when sunrise or sunsetis present at critical points along the path. Significant
`phaseshifts may occur on paths whereina reflection area ofthe path is subject toalarge tidal range.In cable systems, signifi-
`cant phase shifts can be occasioned by diurnal temperature variance.
`Diversity !n microwave communications,the strength of a microwave signal can decrease for many reasons — heat, rain,
`fog, etc. This is not goodif the objective is to get reliable communications. One solution is to simultaneously send and receive
`two microwavesignals at slightly different frequencies. Since different frequencies respond differently to weather problems, the
`likelihood is that at least one will get through well. This is called diversity.
`Diversity CombinerA circuit or device for combining two or more signals carrying the same information received via sep-
`arate paths or channels with the objective or providing a single resultant signalthat is superior in quality ta any of the con-
`tributing signals.
`Divestiture On January 8, 1982 AT&T signed a Consent Decreewith the U.S. DepartmentofJustice,stipulating that on mid-
`night December 30, 1983, AT&T would divest
`itself of its 22 telephone operating companies. According to the terms of the
`Divestiture, those 22 operating Bell telephone companies would be formed into seven regional holding companiesof roughly
`equal size. Terms of the Divestiture placed businessrestrictions on AT&T and the BOCs. Thoserestrictions were threefold: The
`BOCs weren't allowed into long distance, equipment manufacturing, or information services. AT&T wasn’t allowed into local
`telecommunications (i.¢.
`to compete with the BOCs). But
`it was allowed into computers. The federal Judge overseeing
`Divesliture, Judge Harold Greene, is slowing thelifting the restrictions against the BOCs being allowed into information ser-
`vices. He has stayedfirm on the other two — equipment manufacturing and long distance.
`DIW Type D Inside Wire. Originated as a specific AT&T cable. Now commonly used to describe any 22, 24, or 26 gauge PVG
`jacketed twisted-pair cable used primarily for inside telephony wiring.
`DIX ConnectorsA local area network connector. DIX connectors on the transceiver localarea network cable linkit to the net-
`work; the male DIX connector plugs into the SpeedLink/PC16 andthe female DIX connectorattaches to an external transceiver.
`DIX EthernetThe DEC, Intel, Xerox Ethernet standard, also known as Version 1 or Bluebook Ethernet. Thera ate subtle dlif-
`ferences between IEEE 802.3 and the DIX Ethernet.
`DL 1. Distribution List.
`2. Distance Learning.
`DLC 1. Digital Loop Carrier. Network transmission equipment used to provide a pair gain function. Used in situations in which
`the cost of the DLG equipmentis more than offset by the savings in copper distribution accomplished byeliminating need for
