User settable unified workstation identification system

摘要

A technique of assigning network addresses to workstations by using a system of unified identification codes for both voice and data communications is disclosed.This unified identification code is settable by the user directly. This identification code can be easily verified by the user without special training. Only one set of such identification code is needed per workstation, thus simplifying the management of such networks. This technique also bridges the traditional analog voice communicattion with the emerging digital data technology.
