Broadcast Address	The Broadcast Address, in combination with the
	Subnet Mask, identifies other hosts on the subnet to
	which the host will send broadcast messages.
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, usually the workstation or PC.
Coaxial cable	Data transmission medium with a single-wire
	conductor insulated EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic
	Interference/Radio Frequency Interference).
CPU	An acronym for Central Processing Unit. A
	personal computer's primary microprocessor chip.
CSMA/CA	An acronym for Carrier Sense Multiple Access
	With Collision Avoidance. Network access method
	using contention similar to CSMA/CD used by
	LocalTalk networks. Unlike CSMA/CD, in this
	method the sending node requests permission to
	send from the intended receiving node. If the
	receiving node responds with a clear to send signal,
	transmission begins.
CSMA/CD	An acronym for Carrier Sense Multiple Access/
	Collision Detection. Network access method in
	which nodes contend for the right to send data. If
	two or more nodes attempt to transmit at the same
	time, they abort their transmission until a random
	period of microseconds has transpired and will then
	attempt to resend.
DB-9	A standardized connector with 9 pins for Token
	Ring and serial connections.
Device Discovery	The term used for remote client applications
	detecting devices on the network. See Manual
	Discovery and Automatic Discovery.
