Xerox 490 ST manual AppleTalk, ARP Address, Resolution Protocol, Ascii American, Standard Code for

AppleTalk	Protocol suite defined by Apple Computer for connecting computers
	and peripherals using shielded twisted-pair wiring and transfer rates
	of about 230.4 kilobytes per second. The network- and transport-
	level protocols include Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP),
	AppleTalk Transaction Protocol (ATP), AppleTalk Session
	Protocol (ASP), and the Name Binding Protocol (NBP).
ARP (Address	TCP/IP protocol for determining a DLC (Data-Link Control)
Resolution Protocol)	address from an IP (Internet Protocol) address.
ASCII (American	A seven-bit binary code standardized by ANSI for use by personal
Standard Code for	computers and some mainframes to represent alphanumeric and
Information	graphical characters. An additional bit is included to form an eight-
Interchange)	bit character byte.
AUI (Attachment	Connector used with thick Ethernet that often includes a drop cable.
Unit Interface)
Bindery	NetWare database of user names, passwords, groups, and
	accounting information.
BNC	A standardized connector used with Thinnet and coaxial cable.
Bus Topology	A network topology in which nodes are connected to a single cable
	with terminators at each end.
Client	A network node that requests network services from a server.
Coaxial cable	Data transmission medium with a single-wire conductor insulated
	EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency
	Interference).
CPU (Central	A personal computer’s primary microprocessor chip.
Processing Unit)
CSMA/CA (Carrier	Network access method using contention similar to CSMA/CD used
Sense Multiple	by LocalTalk networks. Unlike CSMA/CD, in this method the
Access With	sending node requests permission to send from the intended
Collision Avoidance)	receiving node. If the receiving node responds with a clear to send
	signal, transmission begins.
