10BASE-T
IEEE’s specifications for 10 Mbps Ethernet using twisted-pair cable (100W STP or
UTP). The maximum length of cable for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters.
100BASE-TX
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using twisted-pair cable (100W STP or
UTP). The maximum length of cable for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters.
100BASE-FX
IEEE’s specifications for 100Mbps Ethernet using multimode fiber optic cable. The
maximum length of cable for a point-to-point connection is 2 kilometers for a dedicated
link (i.e., full-duplex connection) or 412 meters for a shared collision domain (i.e., half-
duplex connection).
Bus Topology
A network topological arrangement where only one path exists between any two nodes,
and data transmitted by any node is concurrently available to all other nodes on the same
transmission medium.
Configuration
The way to set up a computer, server, or local area network.
Connection
A logical binding between two or more users of an interconnection service.
