10BASEF

A point-to-point fiber link. This is the draft specification for IEEE 802.3 Ethernet over fiber optic cable.

10BASE-T

10BASE-T is the implementation of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard on unshielded twisted-pair wiring. It is a star topology, with stations directly connected to a multi- port Hub, and it has a maximum cable length of 100 meters.

100BASE-TX

100BASE-TX is the implementation of the IEEE 802.3u Ethernet standard on two pairs of unshielded twisted-pair wiring. It is a star topology with a maximum cable length of 100 meters. The maximum network diameter is 205 meters with two class II repeaters.

802.3

Often called Ethernet, this IEEE standard governs the Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) networks. Typical cabling standards are 10BASE-T, 10BASE2, and 10BASE5.

Access Method

The set of rules by which the network determines what node has access to the network. The two most popular access methods are Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (Ethernet) and token passing (Token Ring and ARCNET).

Anomaly

An impedance discontinuity causing an undesired signal reflection on a transmission cable.

802.2

This IEEE standard specifies Logical Link Control (LLC), which defines services for the transmission of data between two stations at the data-link layer of the OSI model.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a networking protocol primarily used for communications between Macintosh computers and Apple printers. The AppleTalk network is segmented into zones.
