Glossary of Terms

10BASE-T:

Ethernet running on unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. Note that 10BASE-T is a point-to-point

network media, with one end of the cable typically going to a repeater/hub and the other to the network

device.

Terminal Server:

A concentrator that facilitates communication between hosts and terminals.

Terminator:

Used on both ends of a standard Ethernet or Thinwire Ethernet segment, this special connector

provides the 50 ohm termination resistance needed for the cable.

TFTP:

Trivial File Transfer Protocol. On computers that run the TCP/IP networking software, TFTP is used to

quickly send files across the network with fewer security features than FTP.

Thickwire:

Half-inch diameter coax cable.

Thinwire:

Thin coaxial cable similar to that used for television/video hookups.

Throughput:

The amount of data transmitted between two points in a given amount of time, e.g., 10 Mbps.

Token:

The character sequence or frame, passed in sequence from node to node, to indicate that the node

controlling it has the right to transmit for a given amount of time.

Token Ring:

Developed by IBM, this 4 or 16 Mbps network uses a ring topology and a token-passing access

method.

Topology:

The arrangement of the nodes and connecting hardware that comprises the network. Types include

ring, bus, star and tree.

Transceiver:

The actual device that interfaces between the network and the local node. The term generally refers to

any connector, such as a MAU, that actively converts signals between the network and the local node.
