A
Auxiliary Control Unit. Provides the ability to conserve energy by powering the lights, projector, and
ACU
optional peripherals for Cisco TelePresence systems on and off. The ACU is controlled by the CTS
Administrator.
Advanced Encryption Standard. An encryption standard comprising three block ciphers, AES-128,
AES
AES-192, and AES-256, adopted from a larger collection originally published as Rijndael. Each AES
cipher has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively.
A phone set to automatically answer an inbound call. Use the Auto Answer feature in Cisco Unified
Auto Answer
Communications Manager. Activating this option or button causes the speaker phone to go off hook
automatically when an incoming call is received.
Auto Collaborate Cisco TelePresence supports simple information sharing using a powerful "Auto Collaborate" feature
that allows any object, document, or PC application to be displayed in a plug-and-play fashion.
Auto Collaborate enables you to share images instantly in multiple locations by plugging in a laptop
computer or high-definition ceiling document camera. The Cisco TelePresence 3000 Series built-in
projector automatically displays images from the most recently activated device.
Ceiling cameras are perfect for capturing images of objects that are too valuable to ship, or cannot
easily be copied or sent electronically. Cisco recommends and supports document cameras made by
WolfVision, specifically the WolfVision Visualizer. This is a special live-camera system designed for
picking up any object on a working surface with perfect illumination and depth of focus. All types of
objects (e.g., photos, books, brochures, transparencies, slides, or three-dimensional objects) can be
picked up quickly and easily, and meeting participants can use a wireless remote to control light, zoom,
or focus.
Cisco TelePresence 3000 and 1000 systems support the Auto Collaborate capability, and meeting
organizers can project content in multiple locations, including above or below displays, or on the side
of a room.
Audio/video extension unit. Required if your system uses an Auxiliary Control Unit (ACU).
A/V Expansion Box
Administrative XML. SOAP-based protocol that enables remote provisioning of Cisco Unified CM.
AXL
Cisco AXL Web Service allows Cisco Unified CM to be updated from Architecture for Voice, Video
and Integrated Data (AVVID) client-based applications that use AXL.
B
Speed at which bits are transmitted, usually expressed in bits per second.
