10 | Terminology 10BaseT - Physical Layer Specification for Twisted-Pair Ethernet using Unshielded Twisted Pair wire at 10Mbps. This is the most popular type of LAN cable used today because it is very cheap and easy to install. It uses RJ-45 connectors and has a cable length span of up to 100 meters. There are two versions, STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) which is more expensive and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), the most popular cable. These cables come in 5 different categories.
Ethernet - A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10 million bits per second (Mbps). ESS - ESS (ESS-ID, SSID) stands for "Extended Service Set". More than one BSS is configured to become an Extended Service Set. LAN mobile users can roam between different BSSs in an ESS (ESS-ID, SSID). Fast Ethernet NIC - Network interface card that is in compliance with the IEEE 802.3u standard.
the other device. There are typically one or two ports on a device that can be toggled between MDI (not crossed) and MDI-X (crossed). Medium Dependent Interface – X (crossed) - A port on a network hub or switch that crosses the transmit lines coming in to the receive lines going out. NAT – (Network Address Translation) This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address.
