Glossary

10BASE-T

IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.

1000BASE-LX

IEEE 802.3z specification for Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 50/125, 62.5/125 or 9/125 micron core fiber cable.

1000BASE-SX

IEEE 802.3z specification for Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron core fiber cable.

1000BASE-T

IEEE 802.3ab specification for Gigabit Ethernet over 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 twisted-pair cable (using all four wire pairs).

Auto-Negotiation

Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g., speed and duplex mode) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is connected.

Bandwidth

The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data transmission along the cable.

Collision

A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each other. Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.

Collision Domain

Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.

CSMA/CD

CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) is the communication method employed by Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet.

End Station

A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic.

Getting Started Guide OmniStackThis Manual documents OmniStack 6300-24 hardware and software This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this guide, may cause interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense Page Compliances and Safety Warnings FCC - Class BEC Conformance Declaration - Class B Japan VCCI Class B Industry Canada - Class BWarnhinweis Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische Sicherheit Safety ComplianceUnderwriters Laboratories Compliance Statement Warning Fiber Optic Port SafetyWichtige Sicherheitshinweise Germany Manufacturing Materials Warnings and Cautionary MessagesEnvironmental Statement End of Product Life SpanPurpose Related PublicationsThe OmniStack 6300 User Guide Contents Glossary Index Appendix A TroubleshootingAppendix C Specifications Appendix B CablesTables Tables Figures Figures Network Management Options Switch ArchitectureChapter 1 Introduction OverviewDescription of Hardware 10/100/1000BASE-T PortsSFP Slots Condition Status LEDsFigure 1-2.
