Segment to SQE

Segment

A portion of a network which is separated from other

 

networks. A segment may be one portion of a bridged,

 

switched, or routed network. Segments must be capable of

 

operating as their own networks, without requiring the

 

services of other portions of the network.

Server

A workstation or host device that performs services for

 

other devices (clients) on the network.

SIMM

Single In-line Memory Module. A collection of Random

 

Access Memory microprocessors which are placed on a

 

single, replaceable printed circuit board. These SIMMs

 

may be added to some devices to expand the capacity of

 

certain types of memory.

Single Mode

A type of fiber optics in which light travels in one

 

predefined mode, or wavelength. Signals in single mode

 

fiber optics are typically driven by lasers. The use of lasers

 

and the transmission characteristics of single mode fiber

 

optics allow the media to cover greater distances than

 

multimode fiber optics.

SMA

Sub-Miniature Assembly. A modular connector and port

 

system used in multimode fiber optic cabling. The SMA

 

connector is threaded, and is screwed into an SMA port.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a

 

standardized set of network monitoring tools. See also

 

RMON.

Spanning Tree

A mathematical comparison and decision algorithm

 

performed by Ethernet bridges at power-up. Spanning tree

 

detects the presence of data loops and allows the bridges to

 

selectively activate some ports while others remain in a

 

standby condition, avoiding the data loops and providing

 

redundant paths in the event of bridge failures.

SQE

Signal Quality Error. A self-monitoring test performed by

 

some Ethernet equipment which examines the status of the

 

device’s connection to the network at arbitrary and

 

predefined intervals.
