H Glossary of Terms NUMBERS 10BASE-T 10BASE-T is Ethernet over UTP Category III,IV, or V unshielded twisted-pair media. 100BASE-TX The two-pair twisted-media implementation 100BASE-T is called 100BASE-TX. 802.11g An IEEE standard for wireless local area networks. It offers transmissions speeds at up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band. of A Access point It is the hardware interface between a wireless LAN and a wired LAN. The access point attaches to the wired LAN through an Ethernet connection.
ARP Address Resolution Protocol. ARP is a protocol that resides at the TCP/IP Internet layer that delivers data on the same network by translating an IP address to a physical address. AVI Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio and video file type, a common format for small movies and videos. B BOOTP Bootstrap Protocol is an Internet protocol that can automatically configure a network device in a diskless workstation to give its own IP address.
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the task for network administrators because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task.
Ethernet The most popular LAN communication technology. There are a variety of types of Ethernet, including 10 Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Most Ethernet networks use Category 5 cabling to carry information, in the form of electrical signals, between devices. Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD that operates in a bus or star topology.
H HEX Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to read hexadecimal numbers than binary numbers. I IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
format used to route the information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway to assign the IP addresses on internal networks. IP address IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.
L LAN Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. N NAT Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that makes many different IP addresses on an internal network appear to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages properly within your network, each device requires a unique IP address. But the addresses may not be valid outside your network.
NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed between two devices. P PING Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It functions by sending a packet to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is primarily used to troubleshoot Internet connections. PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.
for transferors the medium include token-passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the same network protocol.
Station In LANs, a station consists of a device that can communicate data on the network. In FDDI, a station includes both physical nodes and addressable logical devices. Workstations, single-attach stations, dualattach stations, and concentrators are FDDI stations. Subnet mask In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called the subnet mask.
ULP The upper-layer protocol refers to Application Layer protocols such as FTP,SNMP, and SMTP. User Name The USERNAME is the unique name assigned to each person who has access to the LAN. Utility It is a program that performs a specific task. UTP Unshielded twisted-pair. UTP is a form of cable used by all access methods. It consists of several pairs of wires enclosed in an unshielded sheath. W WAN Wide-Area Network.
