Token to UTP
Token | A particular type of frame which informs a station in the |
| Token Ring and FDDI network architectures that it may |
| transmit data for a specified length of time. Once that time |
| has expired, the station must stop transmitting and pass the |
| token along to the next station in the network. |
Token Ring | A network architecture which requires that stations only |
| transmit data when they have been given permission by the |
| reception of a Token, and dictates that stations will receive |
| information at |
| series. |
Topology | The physical organization of stations and devices into a |
| network. |
Transceiver | A device which transmits and receives. A transceiver |
| provides the electrical or optical interface to the network |
| media, and may convert signals from one media for use by |
| another. |
Trap | See Alarm. |
User | Any person who utilizes a workstation or node on the |
| network. Anyone who will complain if the network is not |
| operating. |
UTP | Unshielded Twisted Pair. A type of network media which |
| consists of a number of individual insulated cable strands |
| which are twisted together in pairs. |
