Driver

A program, usually resident in server or workstation memory, that controls the adapter or implements the protocol stacks that allow higher-level applications to communicate with the network hardware.

IEEE 802.5

The standard for the token ring access method and Physical layer speciﬁcations developed by a subcommittee of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802 standards committee.

Lobe cable

The section of cable that attaches a ring station or network device to a MAU or wiring hub.

MAU

Multistation access unit. A hub in an IBM token ring network. Each unit supports up to eight workstations and servers, and can be connected to another hub to create large networks.

NDIS

Network Driver Interface Speciﬁcation, developed by Microsoft and 3Com. A software speciﬁcation used in network operating systems, such as IBM LAN Server or Microsoft LAN Manager, to create drivers for network adapters. NDIS drivers support multiple protocols and multiple adapters and can be unloaded from memory to conserve conventional DOS RAM space.

NET.CFG

An ASCII ﬁle containing control information for network protocol elements of stations and servers for a Novell NetWare environment.

ODI

Open Data-Link Interface. A Media Access Control (MAC)-level speciﬁcation developed by Novell and Apple®. Drivers complying with this speciﬁcation can work with NetWare 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x. Like NDIS, the ODI driver supports multiple protocols and adapters, and can be unloaded from memory to conserve conventional DOS RAM space.
