Glossary

100Base-T

IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbit/s Ethernet using twisted-pair cable (100Ω STP

or UTP). The maximum length of cable for a hub to end-node connection is 100

meters.

Collision

A condition in which two packets transmitted over a medium interfere with each

other. Their interference makes both unintelligible.

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.

Cascade Port

An MDI RJ-45 port used to cascade compatible devices in a cascade configuration

using straight-through twisted-pair cable. To cascade two devices, either run a

connection from the cascade port on one device to an MDI-X port on the other

device, or cascade the two devices by running crossover cable between similar port

types on both devices.

Fast Ethernet

100 Mbit/s network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD

access method.

IEEE 802.3 Standard

Standard for the physical and electrical connections in local area networks

developed by the IEEE. The IEEE 802.3u standard covers these same issues for

100 Mbit/s networks.
