`occurring involuntarily; automatic; an autonomic reflex. See Autonomic Nervous System.
`autonomic computing A term coined by IBM to describe the concept of a self-
`managing computing system. Imagine a computer system that can look after itself in the
`some way that our body's autonomic nervous system does, without requiring any conscious
`effort on our part. The developing technology aims to allow computer systems to self-
`manage and heal themselves, automatically resolving the problems systems administrators
`face managing performance, reliability, security, consistency and scalability with hundreds
`of networked computers with complex tasks and huge data sets. According to Steve Wai-
`towecz, director of strategy for IBM Tivoli, there are five stages of evolution in autonomic
`computing:
`T) Basic - Systems administrators manually analyze and solve problems.
`2) Managed - There are centralized tools, but actions are still taken manually.
`3) Predictive - Administrators use automated tools as a cross resource and to make
`recommendafions.
`4) Adaptive - An automated tool monitors systems, correlates and takes corrective
`action.
`5) Autonomic - the point at which administrators will simply need to set management
`rules for business policy and let the system take care of itself.
`autonomic nervous system That pan of the nervous system that governs
`involuntary body functions like respiration and heart rate.
`autonomous confederation A group of autonomous systems that rely on
`their own network reochability and routing information more than they rely on that received
`from other autonomous systems or confederations.
`Autonomous System Number ASN. A unique number assigned by the In
`terN|C that identifies an autonomous system in the Internet. ASNs are used by routing
`protocols (like BOP — Border Gateway Protocol) to uniquely define an autonomous system.
`auto artitioning A feature on some network devices that isolates a node within
`the wor group when the node becomes disabled, so as not to affect the entire network
`or group.
`autoreconfiguration The process performed by nodes within the failure domain
`of a token ring network. Nodes automatically perform diagnostics in an attempt to reconfig-
`ure the network around the failed areas. See also Failure Domain.
`autores oncler An email that is automatically sent in reply to any email received
`in a specifie mailbox. Also known as a vacation message.
`autoscalin A drawing feature that automatically adjusts the axis units of a graph to
`the minimum on maximum numerical values of a set of data.
`autosearch See Recorder.
`autoseecl A United Kingdom definition. The process of selecting records from a database
`using predefined criteria and allocating the records to outbound or mailing campaigns.
`AIITOSEVOCOM The AUTOmatic SEcure V0ice COMmunications system of the U.S.
`Department of Defense (DoD). A worldwide, switched, secure voice network developed to
`fulfill DoD long-haul, secure voice needs.
`AutoSPlD See SPID.
`autotimecl recall When a user places a call on hold and targets about it, Autotimed
`Recall will ring that user or the receptionist after a predetermined time. That time is usually
`programmable. It shouldn't be longer than 30 seconds; otherwise, your customers, sitting
`endlessly on your eternity hold, will go nuts and go elsewhere.
`autotimecl transfer This telephone system feature switches unanswered incom-
`infg calls to a backup answering position after a predetermined (usually adiustoble) interval
`0 time.
`aulotype protocol Hayes Microcomputer definition for a file transfer protocol
`which allows the user to automatically ”type” a disk file, the clipboard or the contents of
`Smartcom Editor in either plain text (ASCII) or ANSl.SYS format to a remote computer.
`Pacing, send lines and await character echo options are provided. If necessary, character
`set mapping translates between different code pages and systems (Macintosh or Windows
`text files, for example).
`AUTOVON AUTOmatic VOice Network. During the early years of the "Cold War," AUTO
`VON was built on the foundation of the U.S. Army's three-switch SCAN (Switch Communica-
`tions Automatic Network). AUTOVON was an international military ITTN (Tandem Tie Trunk
`Network) that worked much like the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Under the
`control of the DOD (Department of Defense), AUTOVON was for unsecure communications
`between all branches of the military. The topology of the network was highly secret and
`many of the C05 (Central Offices) were in ”hardened" buildings, or placed underground, in
`order that the network could survive a nuclear attack. AUTOVON telephones had an extra
`column of four buttons on the right side of the touchtone keypad. The ”TO” key was for

`In some switching systems, may denote added ability to adiust routing depending on
`man or time of day.

`stays "off-hook” without dialing for a predetermined time interval, or stays connected to a
`busy signal longer than the predetermined time interval, the intercom switching equipment
`will automatically connect this phone to intercept.
`automatic toll ticketing A system which makes a record of the calling phone
`number, the called number, the time of day, the length of the call, etc. and then generates
`an instant phone bill for that call. Often used in hotel/motels.

`Automatic Traffic Overload Protection ATOP. A Rolm feature defined
`as a dynamic form of line-load control, which automatically denies a dial tone during those
`periods when the Rolm CBX may become overloaded. One wonders why someone would

`Automatic Voltage Regulation AVR. It can be the best friend your phone system or com-
`puter has. AVR eliminates the peaks and valleys of power surges and brown outs, providing
`you with clean, reliable power. Always look for a UPS with Automatic Voltage Regulation
`(AVR). It can be the best friend your platform has. AVR eliminates the peaks and valleys of
`power surges and brown outs, providing you with clean, reliable power.
`automatic volume control A circuit in a radio receiver; automatically main-
`tains various received transmissions at approximately the same volume.

`automatic wakeup service The guest or the operator dials into a machine
`— which records a request for a guest wakeup call the following morning. The auto wakeup
`y machine is a glorified, programmable autodial answering machine. The machine is said to
`save hotels money and make wakeup calls more reliable, and certainly more anonymous.
