ROM (Read-Only Memory)

ROM contains computer instructions that cannot be repro- grammed by the user. The computer can read instructions out of ROM, but no data can be stored in ROM. The user can change some of the variables within ROM, such as the software, boot segment, data segment, and baud rate.

Root Subnet

The root subnet is the Ethernet segment to which the access point super root connects, which is the distribution LAN. For Enterprise OWL, the root subnet is the Ethernet link of the access point that originates an IP tunnel, which is the super root.

Secondary Ethernet LAN

A secondary Ethernet LAN is an Ethernet segment that con- nects to the distribution LAN through a wireless link. A single access point functions as the designated bridge for the secondary LAN.

Segment

In LANs, a segment is a length of cable from termination to termination. For example, a 10BASE2 cable segment is the length of cable between the 50-Ohm terminators that attach to each end of the cable. For proper network commu- nications, cable segments must meet ANSI/IEEE standard specifications.
