GLOSSARY

LED

Light emitting diode used for monitoring a device or network condition.

Local Area Network

A group of interconnected computers and support devices.

Media Access Control (MAC)

A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network nodes.

MIB

An acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of database objects that contains information about the device.

Modal Bandwidth

Bandwidth for multimode fiber is referred to as modal bandwidth because it varies with the modal field (or core diameter) of the fiber. Modal bandwidth is specified in units of MHz per km, which indicates the amount of bandwidth supported by the fiber for a one km distance.

Network Diameter

Wire distance between two end stations in the same collision domain.

Redundant Power Unit (RPU)

A backup power supply unit that automatically takes over in case the primary power supply should fail.

RJ-45 Connector

A connector for twisted-pair wiring.

Switched Ports

Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.
