Multiple SAPs can be configured to separate signaling traffic. - [Glossary: Signaling protocols](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-signaling-protocols.md): Signaling refers to the system of messages required to set up and tear down telephone calls between the calling and the called parties. - [Glossary: SIP](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-sip.md): SIP, the Session Initiation Protocol, is the signaling protocol used for VoIP. Covers transport servers on UDP, TCP and TLS, plus supported RFCs. - [Glossary: Route retry](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-sip/glossary-route-retry.md): Route retry applies when the active routing script returns more than one matching route, and controls how ProSBC tries each in turn. - [Glossary: SIGTRAN](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-sip/glossary-sigtran.md): SIGTRAN carries SS7 and ISDN signaling over an IP network, and is the name of the IETF working group that produced its specifications. - [Glossary: SIP-I/SIP-T](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-sip/glossary-sip-i-sip-t.md): SIP-I is SIP with encapsulated ISUP, letting SS7 ISUP networks interwork with SIP networks. Compare SIP-I and SIP-T. - [Glossary: SIP gateway](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-sip/glossary-sip-gateway.md): A SIP gateway transports VoIP media between IP networks and the PSTN, or between disparate IP networks. - [Glossary: SIP Registration](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-sip/glossary-sip-registration.md): SIP registration explained: registrar and location service roles, per-NAP registration, retry and expiry negotiation, and 401 authentication flow. - [Glossary: Softswitch](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-softswitch.md): A softswitch is a central device in a telecom network that connects calls from one phone line to another in software rather than hardware. - [Glossary: Toolpack](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack.md): Toolpack is the collection of software components that let developers build applications interacting with TelcoBridges hardware products. - [Glossary: Web server](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack/glossary-web-server.md): The Toolpack web server is spawned by tboamapp and is the system's main interface, using Mongrel on Windows and Lighttpd on Linux and Solaris. - [Glossary: tboamapp](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack/glossary-tboamapp.md): tboamapp is started and monitored by tbtoolpack\_service, which restarts it if needed. The master tboamapp runs the system's core OAM roles. - [Glossary: Tbtoolpack Service](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack/glossary-tboamapp/glossary-tbtoolpack-service.md): Tbtoolpack service is a lightweight application, started by the user or at host boot, that manages the Toolpack applications on a host. - [System Id](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack/glossary-tboamapp/glossary-tbtoolpack-service/system-id.md): The System Id, also called TBX\_GW\_PORT or TbxGwPort, uniquely identifies a system and lets multiple systems coexist on the same IP network. - [Gateway Port](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack/glossary-tboamapp/glossary-tbtoolpack-service/system-id/gateway-port.md): The Gateway Port, also known as TBX\_GW\_PORT, TbxGwPort or Toolpack System Id, is the UDP port used to control TelcoBridges devices. - [Primary/Secondary](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices/appendix-a-glossary/glossary-toolpack/glossary-tboamapp/primary-secondary.md): Primary qualifies a module configured to be master, secondary a module configured to be slave.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/appendices.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
