VAPC - (Vector Adaptive Predictive Coding) - Compresses PCM samples for transmission at either 8 kbps or 16 kbps. The algorithm uses a block coding process that combines vector quantization with linear prediction in an adaptive structure. The vector quantizer uses an optimized code book to code the difference between an input vector and a predicted vector.

VAR - value-added reseller

Variant - The particular protocol (i.e National ISDN-1 or ETS 300) running on a specific switch. Not all variants are valid for a specific switch. The switch brand and model plus the variant defines the ISDN protocol. See ISDN Protocol.

VC31 - and VC62 (Voice Compression) Server Modules - These modules encode and decode full duplex PCM voice circuits into 32 or 24 kbps ADPCM on a per channel basis. Used for international voice circuits, these modules increase the voice-call capacity of trunks by compressing and decompressing both Mu-Law and A-Law companded PCM voice circuits.

VCC - virtual channel connection

VCC - voice communications circuit

VCFAX - (Voice Compression Facsimile) Server Module - This module provides 4:1, 6.67:1, and 8:1 bandwidth reduction for voice transmission. It does this by compressing 24 channels of 64 kbps PCM data into an equal number of channels at 16 kbps, 9.6 kbps, or 8 kbps. The VCFAX supports compressed group III Fax at 9.6K fax on 16K circuits, 9.6K fax on 9.6K circuits, and 7.2K fax and 8K circuits.

Virtual Call ID - Device ID used to query interdomain calls after they leave the origination domain and enter a transit domain or the destination domain. The virtual call ID consists of the node ID and a random card and port ID The virtual call ID is assigned by the inbound gateway node in the domain. The call is assigned a virtual call ID for each domain it goes through.

Virtual Circuit - A virtual circuit is a communications link that appears to be a dedicated point-to-point link but is not. It delivers data packets in guaranteed sequential order just as they would be received over a point-to-point circuit. The applications for virtual circuit packets include DS1 dialed digit packets and EIA signal information packets for synchronous data ports.
