Instant Gigabit Series

Network applications that want to save processing time because they have very small data units to exchange (and therefore very little message reassembling to do) may prefer UDP to TCP.

Upgrade - To replace existing software or firmware with a newer version.

Upload - To receive a file transmitted over a network. In a communications ses- sion, upload means transmit, download means receive.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) - The address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. URLs are typed into the browser to access Web pages, and URLs are embedded within the pages themselves to provide the hypertext links to other pages.

UTP - Unshielded twisted pair is the most common kind of copper telephone wiring. Twisted pair is the ordinary copper wire that connects home and many business computers to the telephone company. To reduce crosstalk or electro- magnetic induction between pairs of wires, two insulated copper wires are twisted around each other. Each signal on twisted pair requires both wires. Since some telephone sets or desktop locations require multiple connections, twisted pair is sometimes installed in two or more pairs, all within a single cable.

VLAN (Virtual LAN) - A logical association that allows users to communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, independent of the actu- al physical configuration of the network.

Wake-on-LAN- Wake on LAN is a technology that allows a network profes- sional to remotely power on a computer or to wake it up from sleep mode.

WAN - A communications network that covers a wide geographic area, such as state or country.

WINIPCFG - Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying, defining and managing IP addresses within a network. A commonly used util- ity for configuring networks with static IP addresses.

Workgroup - Two or more individuals that share files and databases.
