You’re not required to acknowledge it, you’re only required to be promptly available at the start of the assigned short call. If you are unfit to begin the short call, you need to let them know no later than 3 hours prior to start. 23.S.6.
Same for rotations assigned to you while on long call status. You “acknowledge” by reporting for the rotation.
A live scheduler has to leave a message during a time you are contactable. Rest, X days, vacation days, and training day are not contactable times. Long call and short call are the only times you are contactable. The only other way to assign anything is one of the 2 schedule placements, more than 12 hours before LC (excluding vacation and training days) or post trip 30 minutes.
