	Broadcast to Connectivity
Broadcast	A type of network transmission; a broadcast transmission
	is one which is sent to every station on the network,
	regardless of location, identification, or address.
Buses	Physical portions of the backplane of a modular chassis
	which pass information between modules.
Card	See Module.
Channel	A portion of a backplane bus which is specifically
	partitioned off for the transmission of one type of network
	data.
Chassis	See Modular Chassis.
Client	A workstation or node which obtains services from a
	server device located on the network.
Client-Server	A computing model which is based on the use of dedicated
	devices ( servers) for the performance of specific
	computational or networking tasks. These servers are
	accessed by several clients, workstations which cannot
	perform those functions to the same extent or with the
	same efficiency as the servers.
Coaxial	An Ethernet media type which consists of a core of
	electrically conductive material surrounded by several
	layers of insulation and shielding.
Community	An identification which allows a specific level of access to
Name	the network device. Similar to a password, a Community
	Name acts to restrict access to control capabilities and
	network statistics.
Concentrator	A network device which allows multiple network ports in
	one location to share one physical interface to the network.
Congestion	An estimation or measure of the utilization of a network,
	typically expressed as a percentage of theoretical
	maximum utilization of the network.
Connectivity	The physical connection of cabling or other media to
	network devices. The coupling of media to the network.
