The Fiber Optics Illustrated Dictionary - Part 94 fills a gap in the literature by providing instructors, hobbyists, and top-level engineers with an accessible, current reference. From the author of the best-selling Telecommunications Illustrated Dictionary, this comprehensive reference includes fundamental physics, basic technical information for fiber splicing, installation, maintenance, and repair, and follow-up information for communications and other professionals using fiber optic components. Well-balanced, well-researched, and extensively cross-referenced, it also includes hundreds of photographs, charts, and diagrams that clarify the more complex ideas and put simpler ideas into their applications context | Fiber Optics Illustrated Dictionary device-supporting software applications. TAPI can be used to create call control software for telephony devices for computerizing common functions and sought-after features. As an example TAPI can be used to create a Caller ID-type function on a computer with the computer answering a Caller ID-enabled phone line assessing the Caller ID information and perhaps relating it to a database of names or other information associated with the number and logging the call or notifying the user of the call. Since not all phone systems are equipped with TAPI interfaces there are now third parties such as Ryan Technologies that provide protocol conversion modules that enable TAPI-based applications to link through the module to the phone system. In 1999 Siemens extended the utility of TAPI by introducing a TAPI interface compatible with a national ISDN terminal. This in conjunction with the Optiset phone turns a computer into a powerful telephony terminal. See Telephony Services Application Programming Interface. Telephony Routing over IP TRIP. A policy-driven inter-administrative domain protocol for routing voice-over-Intemet calls developed by the IETF IP Telephony iptel working group. TRIP is independent of the signaling protocol used. It uses Border Gateway Protocol BGP-4 to distribute routing information between administrative domains. It thus enables digital telephony calls to be routed between digital network domains and supports the exchange of routing information between providers thus building up a forwarding information base. In August 2001 TRIP was published as an Internet Draft and in September 2001 was submitted to the 1ESG for consideration as a proposed standard. TRIP may also be a part of future protocols for the propagation of routing information between gateways and their associated signaling servers a process called gateway registration .
