node

An

addressable device

on

a network,

such

as a LaserWriter

or

a Mac-

intosh.

lOBase2

An

implementation

of

the

Ethernet

IEEE

standard

on

coaxial cable

(Thin), a baseband medium,

at

10 megabits

per

second.

The

maximum

segment

length is 185 meters.

lOBase5

The

original Ethernet medium,

an

implementation

of

the

Ethernet

IEEE

standard

on

coaxial cable (Thick), a baseband medium, at 10 megabits

per

second.

The

maximum

segment

length

is

500 meters.

lOBaseT

SCSI

An

implementation

of

the

Ethernet

IEEE

standard

on

24 gauge

unshielded, twisted-pair wiring, a baseband medium,

at

10 megabits

per

second.

The

unshielded twisted

pair

(UTP) uses

RJ-45

eight con-

ductor

plugs

at

each

end.

(Small

Computer

System Interface)

An

industry standard interface

that

provides

high

speed

data transfer.

SCSI

ports

have

been

standard

on

all

Macintoshes since

the

Plus.

Star

Topology

A

network

where

all terminals are

connected

to

a central hub. Starlan

by

AT&T

is

an

example

of

a Star Topology.

Terminator

Responsible for keeping signals from echoing

back

and

forth along

SCSI

cabling.

unshielded

twisted

pair

A cable made

of

two

insulated

wires

twisted

together

to

reduce

elec-

trical interference

without

shield

under

outer

insulation.
