10Base-T	An adaptation of the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) standard, the 10Base-T standard uses
	twisted-pair wiring with a maximum segment length of 100 m (328 ft) and terminates
	with an RJ-45 connector. A 10Base-T network is a baseband network capable of
	transmitting data at a maximum speed of 10 Mbit/s.
802.3 frame	A frame format, specified in the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) standard, in which the header
	specifies the data packet length.

A

agent	1. SNMP—the SNMP application that runs on a network device. 2. Fipio—a slave
	device on a network.
analog input	A module that contains circuits that convert analog DC input signals to digital values
	that can be manipulated by the processor. By implication, these analog inputs are
	usually direct—i.e., a data table value directly reflects the analog signal value.
analog output	A module that contains circuits that transmit an analog DC signal proportional to a
	digital value input to the module from the processor. By implication, these analog
	outputs are usually direct—i.e., a data table value directly controls the analog signal
	value.
application	In CAN-based networks, application objects represent device-specific functionality,
object	such as the state of input or output data.
