Glossary
10Base-T
An IEEE standard (802.3) for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring.
Stations are connected using a star topology. The maximum segment
length is 100 meters.
100BASE-TX
An IEEE standard (802.3u) for high-speed Ethernet.
802.2
An IEEE standard that governs Logical Link Control (LLC). The LLC
layer can provide either connections-oriented services, connectionless
services, or a combination of both.
802.3
An IEEE standard that governs Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) networks. 802.3, referred to as
Ethernet, operates on different cable types (for example, UTP, coax,
fiber).
adapter
See NIC.
AUI (attachment unit interface)
See transceiver cable.
backplane
The data bus connections used to interconnect different communication
modules inside a networking concentrator.
