Appendix C Glossary

10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs. 100BaseTX - IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs of Category 5 UTP or STP wire.

1000BASE-T- A 100 Mbps technology based on the Ethernet/CD network access method. Provides half-duplex (CSMA/CD) and full-duplex 1000 Mbps Ethernet service over Category 5 links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A. Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-T. Category 5 link lengths are limited to 100 meters by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A cabling standard. Only one CSMA/CD repeater will be allowed in a collision domain.

802.11b - An IEEE wireless networking standard that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 11 Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4 GHz.

802.11g - An IEEE wireless networking standard that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4 GHz, and backward com- patibility with 802.11b devices.

Access Point - Device that allows wireless-equipped computers and other devices to communicate with a wired network. Also used to expand the range of a wireless network.

Adapter - Printed circuit board that plugs into a PC to add to capabilities or con- nectivity to a PC. In a networked environment, a network interface card (NIC) is the typical adapter that allows the PC or server to connect to the intranet and/or Internet.

Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) - A new standard for transmit- ting at speeds up to 7 Mbps over a single copper pair.

Auto-negotiate- To automatically determine the correct settings. The term is often used with communications and networking. For example, Ethernet 10/100 cards, hubs, and switches can determine the highest speed of the node they are connected to and adjust their transmission rate accordingly.

Ad-hoc- A group of wireless devices communicating directly with each other (peer-to-peer) without the use of an access point.
