Agilent Technologies J3916A 10Base-T, 100Base-FX, 100Base-TX, Address Resolution Protocol ARP

Glossary

This glossary contains definitions of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms that are used in this manual. The terms are not necessarily Agilent specific, but are for data communications in general.

10Base-T

10 Mbps, BASEband operation, unshielded Twisted-pair wiring used for Ethernet networks.

100Base-FX

100Base-FX uses multimode fiber-optic cable to carry traffic ten times faster than 10Base-T. It is used primarily to connect Hubs and switches together on Fast Ethernet networks.

100Base-TX

100Mbps, BASEband operation, unshielded Twisted-pair wiring used for Fast Ethernet networks. 100Base-TX is ten times faster than 10Base-T.

ADCCP (Advanced Data Communication Control Procedure)

This level 2 protocol was developed by ANSI (American National Standards Institute). All data transmissions are in frames, and the starting flag, address, and control fields are known as Header information and the FCS and ending flags are known as Trailer information.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

The Address Resolution Protocol is at the Network Layer in the OSI model. ARP provides a mechanism for finding the physical address (Internet Address) of a target host on the same physical network, given only the target's Internet address.

Advanced Data Communication Control Procedure (ADCCP)
