Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet manual Dlm, Dni, Eeprom, Epim

	Dedicated to Fault-Tolerance
Dedicated	Assigned to one purpose or function.
Default	the IP address of the network or host to which all packets
Gateway	addressed to unknown network or host are sent
Device	Any discrete electronic item connected to a network which
(network)	either transmits and receives information through it,
	facilitates that transmission and reception, or monitors the
	operation of the network directly.
DLM	Distributed LAN Monitor. DLM is a feature of some
	SNMP management devices which allows that device to
	locally monitor other devices under its control and report
	to a central network management station any noted errors.
	This frees the network management station from directly
	monitoring every SNMP device.
DNI	Desktop Network Interface. DNI cards are devices which
	are added to workstations to provide them with a
	connection to a network (NIC).
EEPROM	Electronic Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory.
Encryption	A security process which encodes raw data into a form that
	cannot be utilized or read without decryption.
EPIM	Ethernet Port Interface Module. EPIMs are added to
	specifically-designed slots in Cabletron Ethernet products
	to provide connections to external media. EPIMs allow a
	great flexibility in the media used to connect to networks.
Ethernet	A networking architecture which allows any station on
	the network to transmit at any time, provided it has
	checked the network for existing traffic, waited for the
	network to be free, and checked to ensure the transmission
	did not suffer a collision with another transmission.See
	also CSMA/CD.
Fault-	The ability of a design (device or network) to operate at
Tolerance	full or reduced capacity after suffering a failure of some
	essential component or connection. See also redundant.
