T

(TCP/IP)	Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a widely used
	transport protocol that connects diverse computers of various
	transmission methods. It was developed y the Department of
	Defense to connect different computer types and led to the
	development of the Internet.
Transceiver	A transceiver joins two network segments together. Transceivers
	can also be used to join a segment that uses one medium to a
	segment that uses a different medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the
	transceiver connects the network adapter or other network device
	to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on 10BASE-2 or
	10BASE-T networks to attach devices with AUI ports.

U

	unshielded sheath.

W

WAN	Wide-Area Network. A wide-area network consists of groups
	of interconnected computers that are separated by a wide
	distance and communicate with each other via common carrier
	telecommunication techniques.
Windows	Windows is a graphical user interface for workstations that use DOS.
Workgroup	A workgroup is a group of users who are physically located together
	and connected to the same LAN, or a group of users who are
	scattered throughout an organization but are logically connected by
	work and are connected to the same network group.
Workstations	Workstation refers to the intelligent computer on the user’s desktop.
