Term
Definition
10Base-T
One of several adaptations of the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standard for Local
Area Networks (LANs). The 10Base-T standard (also called Twisted Pair
Ethernet) uses a twisted-pair cable with a maximum length of 100 meters.
The cable is thinner and more flexible than the coaxial cable used for the
10Base-2 or 10Base-5 standards.
100Base-T
A networking standard that supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps (100
megabits per second). 100Base-T is based on the older Ethernet standard.
Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often referred to as Fast
Ethernet. Officially, the 100Base-T standard is IEEE 802.3u. Like Ethernet,
100Base-T is based on the CSMA/CD LAN access method. There are
several different cabling schemes that can be used with 100Base-T,
including:
• 100Base-TX: two pairs of high-quality twisted-pair wires
• 100Base-T4: four pairs of normal-quality twisted-pair wires
• 100Base-FX: fiber optic cables
Bootstrap
A technique designed to cause a circuit, stage, or operation to bring itself
into a desired state by means of its own action. Used as a machine routine,
the bootstrap technique involves loading the first few instructions into
storage; these instructions are then used to bring in the rest of the
routine--usually by entering a few manual instructions or by using a special
keystroke combination.
CHAP
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. An authentication scheme
used by PPP servers to validate the identity of the originator of the
connection upon connection or any time later.
CRT
Cathode-Ray Tube. A large vacuum tube with a viewing face in which an
electron beam is focused and controlled to form characters and other
images.
CTS
Clear to Send. Control signal sent from the DCE. Indicates that the DTE may
send data.
DCE
Data Communications Equipment. Devices that provide the functions
required to establish, maintain, and terminate a data transmission
connection, e.g., a modem.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for assigning dynamic IP
addresses to devices on a network.
DNS
Domain Name Service. A general-purpose distributed, replicated, data
query service chiefly used on the Internet for translating host names into
Internet addresses.
