Switching hub
A network connection box to which a number of computers can be connected.
Conventional hubs send each data packet to every connected computer on the
network, whereas a switching hub forwards data packets from the network to the
appropriate computer, according to the packet's address. Since a switching hub
forwards packets only to their intended recipients, it provides greater efficiency.
T

Internet and wide area networks.

telephone, press [Tone] to switch temporarily from pulse to tone dialing when
connecting to these data services.
Transmission Time
A fax transmission consists of three stages: the machine that sends the fax connects
with the machine receiving it; the fax is then transmitted, after which the sender and
the recipient exchange signals to confirm the end of transmission. The transmission
time described in this guide is not the total time required for the entire send/receive
transaction, but only the time it takes for the machine to transmit the fax document.
TTI
Transmit Terminal Identification. Also called the TX Terminal ID. The TTI is the name
of a person or an organization and the facsimile number of the machine that sends a
document. In addition to the unit name that you register for the machine, you can
create up to 99 sender names that can be used in place of the unit's name when you
send a fax document.
TX
