9.7 Glossary of Terms

	NUMBERS
10BASE-T	10BASE-T is Ethernet over UTP Category III,IV, or V unshielded
	twisted-pair media.
100BASE-TX	The two-pair twisted-media implementation of 100BASE-T is called
	100BASE-TX.
802.11g	An IEEE standard for wireless local area networks. It offers
	transmissions speeds at up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band.

	A
Access point	It is the hardware interface between a wireless LAN and a wired LAN.
	The access point attaches to the wired LAN through an Ethernet
	connection.
Applet	Applets are small Java programs that can be embedded in an HTML
	page. The rule at the moment is that an applet can only make an
	Internet connection to the computer form that the applet was sent.
ASCII	American Standard Code For Information Interchange, it is the
	standard method for encoding characters as 8-bit sequences of
	binary numbers, allowing a maximum of 256 characters.
ARP	Address Resolution Protocol. ARP is a protocol that resides at the
	TCP/IP Internet layer that delivers data on the same network by tran
	slating an IP address to a physical address.
AVI	Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio and video file
	type, a common format for small movies and videos.

	B
BOOTP	Bootstrap Protocol is an Internet protocol that can automatically
	configure a ne twork device in a diskless workstation to give its own
	IP address.

	C
Communication	Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message,
	and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and
	processes communicate messages to each other over media. They
	represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the
	message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the
	medium.
Connection	In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate
	with each other.

	D
DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol was developed by Microsoft a
	protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
	With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address
	every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's
	IP address can ev en change while it is still connected. DHCP also
	suppor ts a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies
