Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA)
Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) is a device that converts analog telephone signals into another format (such as digital Internet protocol). These adapter boxes may provide a single function such as providing Internet telephone service or they may convert digital signals into several different forms such as audio, data, and video. When adapter boxes convert into multiple information forms, they may be called multimedia terminal adapters (MTAs) or integrated access devices (IADs). Analog telephone adapters (ATA) must convert both the audio signals (voice) and control signals (such as touch tone or hold requests) into forms that can be sent and received via the Internet.
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)
Equipment located at the customer Site.
Delivers high-quality images and enables real-time, face-to-face conversations over any high-speed broadband connection
A DHCP address is another term for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Approximately 80% of ISP users have this. DHCP's purpose is to assigning IP addresses and managing traffic on the network.
E911, or Enhanced 911, allows for location and call-back number automatically to local 911 emergency services personnel. This feature will improve the effectiveness and reliability of our 911 dialing service by providing more information automatically to better route your call.
E911 services are available at no cost, but must be activated separately. We urge all of our customers to follow the instructions included with the ATA to activate the free service. As with all broadband phone services, E911 services normally will not work during a power failure or disruption, or without a working Internet connection. E911 service can work during a power failure only if:
- landline phone service is activated AND
- ATA is plugged into a standard phone jack
A local area network used for connecting computer, printers, workstations, terminals, servers, etc., within the same building or campus. Ethernet operates over twisted wire and over coaxial cable at speeds up to 10 Mbps.
Ethernet PC cards now come in couple of basic varieties - for connecting to an Ethernet LAN via coaxial cable or via two twisted pair of phone wires, called 10base-T.
Internet Protocol Telephony (IP Telephony)
IP telephone systems provide voice or multimedia communication services through the use Internet protocol (IP) networks. These IP networks initiate, process, and receive voice or multimedia communications using IP protocol. These IP systems may be public IP systems (e.g. the Internet), private data systems (e.g. LAN based), or a hybrid of public and private systems.
Local area networks (LANs) are private data communication networks that use high-speed digital communications channels for the interconnection of computers and related equipment in a limited geographic area. LANs can use fiber optic, coaxial, twisted-pair cables, or radio transceivers to transmit and receive data signals. LAN's are networks of computers, normally personal computers, connected together in close proximity (office setting) to each other in order to share information and resources. The two predominant LAN architectures are token ring and Ethernet. Other LAN technologies are ArcNet, AppleTalk, and fiber distributed data interface (FDDI).
Local Number Portability (LNP)
This service provides residential and business traditional (wired) telephone customers with the ability to retain, at the same location, their existing local telephone numbers when switching from one local telephone service provider to another.

Public Safety Answering Point
Public Service Telephone Number

A static IP address is an IP address which is permanently assigned to a particular user. Static IP addressing is, however, generally used by businesses or any organization running its own site and is also available for individuals from some ISPs, allowing them to set up FTP or Web sites on their home computers. Static IP addressing also allows a higher degree of tracking an individual user's actions on the Internet
