10base2 A type of Ethernet that uses RG58 coaxial cable. Also called
Thin Ethernet, ThinNet, and CheaperNet. pp. 1-4, 1-5, 2-7, 2-15 to 2-16.
10base5 The original Ethernet standard that uses a thick coaxial cable.
Also called thick Ethernet or standard Ethernet. pp. 1-4, 1-6, 2-3, 2-14 to
2-15.
10baseT A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable. pp.
1-4 to 1-6, 2-7, 2-12 to 2-13.
100baseT4 A 100 megabit/second networking standard based on
Ethernet technology that uses four pairs on a Category 3 twisted pair
cable. Not widely used.
100baseTX The most popular 100 megabit/second networking standard
based on Ethernet technology. It uses two pairs on a Category 5 twisted
pair cable. 1-5, 2-12 to 2-13.
802.2 1. The IEEE standard for the Logical Link Control layer of the
Ethernet protocol. The LLC layer is implemented as special fields
containing control information within an IEEE compatible Ethernet
frame. 2. The NetWare Ethernet frame type that includes both the IEEE
802.3 and 802.2 fields. p. A-11.
802.3 1. The IEEE standard for Ethernet. 2. The default Ethernet frame
type for NetWare 3.xx and 2.xx (also called 802.3 raw; the NetWare
802.3 is technically not IEEE compatible because it does not have the
802.2 fields). p. A-11.
A4 The international standard paper size (210 x 297mm).
Address An identifier. Every device on a network has a unique address.
AIX The variation of UNIX that runs on IBM computers. pp. 4-7 to 4-8.
