10BaseT
An IEEE standard for twisted-pair Ethernet networks. It provides 10 mega-
bits (10 million bits) transmission and Baseband signaling, and it is un-
shielded. See also
twisted-pair Ethernet cable .
100BaseT
An IEEE standard for twisted-pair Ethernet networks. It provides 100
megabits (100 million bits) transmission and Baseband signaling, and it is
unshielded. See also
twisted-pair Ethernet cable .
Agent
See network management agent .
AppleTalk
A local area network protocol developed by Apple Computer that can be
used by both Apple and non-Apple computers. It operates on a bus topology
at 230.4 kilobits (230,400 bits) per second and supports up to 254 nodes
over a distance of 984 feet (300 meters) on twisted-pair cabling known as
LocalTalk cable. See also
LocalTalk .
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol, the Internet protocol used to bind a high-level
Internet address to a low-level physical hardware address. ARP works
across a single physical network only and is limited to networks that support
hardware broadcast.
AUI Connector (Attachment Unit Interface)
A type of network connector used with thick-wire Ethernet cable. See thick-
wire Ethernet cable
.
Backbone Network
A transmission facility designed to interconnect low-speed distribution
channels or clusters of dispersed user devices.
Baseband Network
A type of local area network that carries a single channel of communication
signals.
