Balun - This is a small electronic winding which interfaces a 93 ohm unbalanced signal (coaxial cable) to a 100
ohm balanced line (twisted pair) or vice-versa. Its name is a melding of the terms "Balanced-to-Unbalanced",
or "BalUn".
Modular Patch Block - This is a device which plugs into a Collector just like a punch block does only it
provides twenty four modular RJ-12 style jacks instead of punch terminals. These RJ-12 connections are
sometimes used for portable or "demo" type systems, and are not recommended for permanent installations.
DataLink Node ID - This is the ID number that is set on DIP switches on the Net Card and inside each
Concentrator. The Net Card factory default setting is node 1 (one). The Concentrators are preset to node 128.
If more than one Arcnet style concentrator is to be connected to the same Data Link network, the second
concentrator must be changed to a different node ID number.
