Glossary
ACR
Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio: One of the factors that limits the distance a signal may be sent through a given media. ACR is the ratio of the power of the received signal, attenuated by the media, over the power of the NEXT crosstalk from the local transmitter, usually expressed in decibels (db). To achieve a desired bit error rate, the received signal power must usually be several times larger than the NEXT power or plus several db. Increasing a marginal ACR may decrease the bit error rate.
ACR
Allowed Cell Rate: An ABR service parameter, ACR is the current rate in cells/sec at which a source is allowed to send.
ACSE
Association Control Service Element
ACT
Applied Computer Technologies: A Hewlett Packard’s program that is a strategy and set of open architecture commands and interfaces for integrating voice and database technologies. The idea is that with ACT a call will arrive at the telephone simultaneously with the database record of the caller.

Address Resolution
Address Resolution is the procedure by which a client associates a LAN destination with the ATM address of another client or the BUS.
