Ethernet

The most widely used type of local area network (LAN). The most commonly installed Ethernet networks are called 10Base-T.

 

10Base-T provides transmission speeds up to 10 megabits per second (Mbps), usually over twisted-pair wire. Fast Ethernet

 

(100Base-T) provides transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps.

IP address

An Internet Protocol address is an identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route

a continuous Internet connection.

MAC address

The Media Access Control address uniquely identifies each device that can be connected to an Ethernet network. It is permanently

 

written to read-only memory (ROM) at the factory and printed on your Motorola voice terminal.

MHz

Mega Hertz. A measure of radio frequency - millions of cycles per second. One MHz means one million cycles per second.

Network Address

NAT is an Internet standard for a LAN to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of IP addresses for external

Translation (NAT)

traffic.
