So you also will find some abbrevations related to that products of that company. But the larger part of this collection is not rela- ted to my employer. - During my work I got quite fed up with those many abbre- vations which quite often are not explained in the literature. So allways when one of these crossed my way, I filed it in this file. There might be some mis- takes: (a) Sometimes I could not verify which of different explanaitions given for an abbrevation was the right one. (b) I am Gerrrrman, so is my English. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1TR6 (Ger) FTZ regulation (close to CCITT Q.930/931) 2B1Q 2 binary data, 1 quarternary redundance 3PTY Three Party Service (I.254 B) 4B3T 4 binary data, 3 ternary redundance (MMS43) 5B6B 5 binary data, 6 binary redundance (code for OFT lines) a/b two wire phone connection (T&R) ABM Asynchronous Balanced Mode ( -> SABME) ABME ABM extended ACA Asynchronous Communication Adapter ACD Automatic Call Distribution ACFA Advanced CMOS Frame Aligner PEB2030 ACI Answer Controller Interface (IOM2 Monitor Command) ACIA Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter ACK Acknowledge ACM Address Complete Msg.
