Remotely Located Equipment - Any equipment associated with the telephone service, including terminals, etc., that is located remotely from the switch itself. Reset - An action by which the power supply is brought back into operation after a malfunction has been corrected. Resistance - Any electrical conductor will resist the flow of electrical current. As it resists the flow of current, the current becomes weaker.
Resistance generates heat and occasionally light, and is measured in Ohms.
Resistance Grounded - Resistor inserted in grounding circuit to limit current. Resistor - A device whose function is to put resistance into an electrical circuit. Resistor Color Code - Colored markings on a resistor which indicate the value and tolerance. Response Time - The time which elapses between the generation of an inquiry and the receipt of a reply. It includes transmission time, processing time, time for searching records and files to obtain relevant data, and transmission time back to the inquirer.
