Avaya changed their Maintenance Terms several years ago to "Per Available Port". If you have a lot of circuit packs with unused ports you can reduce maintenance costs by condensing and consolidating down to just what you need and use the packs you pull out for future growth. The packs have to be physically removed or they are considered 'Available'.
TDM means Time Division Multiplex.
Basically any port (anolog, digital, CO, ISDN) that is connected directly via a wire to the PABX.
In avaya lingo you have IP station ports for stations (those talk to a CLAN and a MEDIA PROCESSOR (or MEDIA RESOURCE).
And you have TDM station ports that are connected wita wire to a TNxxxx board
Please let me know if the information that was provided is helpfull.
