EMI

Electromagnetic interference. The interference by electromagnetic signals that

 

can cause reduced data integrity and increased error rates on transmission

 

channels.

ESD

Electrostatic discharge. A transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of

 

different electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical

 

equipment. ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled

 

and can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD is more likely to

 

occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere.

H

HUB/NO HUB button

The nonvolatile storage that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed so that data can be stored, booted, and rewritten as necessary.

The Cisco 800 series routers provide a HUB/NO HUB button. This button is associated with the Ethernet port on Cisco 801 and Cisco 802 routers and with Ethernet port Ø on Cisco 803 and Cisco 804 routers. The setting of this button determines the cable type (straight-through or crossover) that you use to connect an Ethernet device. This button is the equivalent of the TO HUB/TO PC button on the Cisco 802 IDSL and Cisco 804 IDSL routers.

IDSL

ISDN Digital Subscriber Line. A digital communication protocol that uses an

 

ISDN line and supports line rates up to 144 kilobits per second (kbps).

ISDN

Integrated Services Digital Network. A communication protocol that permits

 

telephone networks to carry data, voice, and other source traffic.

Network interface card. A board that provides network communication

 

capabilities to and from a computer system. Also called an adapter.
