A command and control system, or part thereof, that manipulates the movement of information from source to user without human intervention.
Note: In an automated tactical command and control system, automated execution of a decision without human intervention is not mandatory.

A service feature in which the called terminal automatically responds to the calling signal and the call may be established whether or not the called terminal is attended by an operator.

A device that distributes incoming calls to a specific group of terminals.
Note: If the number of active calls is less than the number of terminals, the next call will be routed to the terminal that has been in the idle state the longest. If all terminals are busy, the incoming calls are held in a first-in-first-out queue until a… (Read More →)

A service feature that permits a user, when encountering a busy condition, to instruct the system to retain the called and calling numbers and to establish the call when there is an available line.
Note 1: Automatic callback may be implemented in the terminal, in the switching system, or shared between them.
Note 2: Automatic callback is not the same… (Read More →)

Calling in which the elements of the selection signal are entered into the data network contiguously at the full data signaling rate. The selection signal is generated by the data terminal equipment.
Note: A limit may be imposed by the design criteria of the network to prevent more than a permitted number of unsuccessful call attempts to the same address… (Read More →)

A device that enables equipment, such as computers and card dialers, to originate calls automatically over a telecommunications network.

ACG is a code control that is implemented automatically in response to a request from a database to limit traffic. This control can be in the form of six (6) through ten (10) digits. A six-digit control is used to protect the database in instances of a general overload. A ten-digit control is used to control focused overloads.

ACC is a two-part feature. In order for ACC to function properly it must be implemented in the originating and terminating nodes of an interconnected network. The first part enables a (terminating) network node to alert interconnected nodes that it is in Machine Congestion 1 or 2 (MC1 or MC2). The second part allows a distant (originating) network node to… (Read More →)

1. A generalization of automatic data processing to include the aspect of data transfer. [JP1]
2. Combining data processing and data transfer.

1. An interacting assembly of procedures, processes, methods, personnel, and equipment to perform automatically a series of data processing operations on data.
Note: The data processing operations may result in a change in the semantic content of the data.
2. Data processing by means of one or more devices that use common storage for all or part of a computer… (Read More →)
