Glossary Definitions Overview This section defines important Terms. Advance Network Gateway Ethernet The Advance Network Gateway Ethernet (ANG_EN) is a wall- (or rack-) mounted unit that is self-contained with power supply and all electronics. It provides internal field termination points to connect standard Advance Data Hiway cable “on one side” and Ethernet 10BaseT cabling (Unshielded Twisted Pair) “on the other side”. The Gateway unit requires 120 VAC power wired directly to it.
Definitions, Continued Late Collision A Late Collision is one that occurs after the first 64 bytes in a frame or packet. Since the smallest Ethernet frame (packet) is 64 bytes in length, late collisions will not be detected on small packets. Ethernet controllers do not retransmit packets with late collisions resulting in lost packets. Late Collisions usually appear as a bad FCS frame.
