Glossary

The Glossary section defines the terms used in the ePowerSwitch System -MP environment.

Agent Implemented SNMP applications in network elements (hosts). Agents perform the network management’s functions as requested by the network administrator from an NMS.

Dry Closure Input Non-powered contact type inputs—switch, relay contact, open-collector.

Dry Closure Output Form C dry-contact outputs which are common, normally open, or normally closed.

EtherNet Local Area Network technology, originally developed by the Xerox Corporatio n, can link up to 1,024 nodes in a bus network. EtherNet provides raw data transfer in a rate of 10 megabits/sec. with actual throughputs in 2 to 3 megabits/sec. using a baseband (single-channel) communication technique. EtherNet uses carrier sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/CD) that prevents network failures when two devices attempt to access the network at the same time. LAN hardware manufactures use EtherNet protocol; their products may not be compatible.

Gateway A computer that attaches to a number of networks and routes packets between them. The packets can be different protocols at the higher levels.

IP Internet Protocol—The TCP/IP standard protocol defines the IP datagram as the unit of information passed across a network.

IP Address Internet Protocol Address—A 32-bit address assigned to hosts participating in a TCP/IP network. The IP address consists of network and host portions. It is assigned to an interconnection of a host to a physical network.

MAC Medium Access Control—The net work layer between the physical and the datalink layers. Specifically, the physical (hardware) address exists in this layer.

MIB Management Information Base—The database, i.e., set of variables maintained by a gateway running SNMP.

NC Normally Closed —Refers to a contact switch that is normally closed.

NIC Network Interface Controller—The hardware interface to the physical connection to the network.
