Glossary
10Base-5 An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is a
doubly shielded, 50-ohm coaxial cable capable of carrying data at 10
Mbps for a length of 500 meters (also referred to as thicknet). Also
known as thick Ethernet.
10Base-2 An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is a
single-shielded, 50-ohm RG58A/U coaxial cable capable of
carrying data at 10 Mbps for a length of 185 meters (also referred to
as AUI or thinnet). Also known as thin Ethernet.
10Base-T An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is an
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires capable of carrying data at
10 Mbps for a maximum distance of 185 meters. Also known as
twisted-pair Ethernet.
100Base-TX An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is an
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires capable of carrying data at
100 Mbps for a maximum distance of 100 meters. Also known as
fast Ethernet.
AIX Advanced Interactive eXecutive (IBM version of UNIX).
architecture The main overall design in which each individual hardware
component of the computer system is interrelated. The most
common uses of this term are 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit architectural
design systems.
ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange; a 7-bit code
used to encode alphanumeric information. In the IBM-compatible
world, this is expanded to eight bits to encode a total of 256
alphanumeric and control characters.
ASIC Application-Specific Integrated Circuit.
AUI Attachment Unit Interface.
BBRAM Battery Backed-up Random Access Memory.
bi-endian Having big-endian and little-endian byte ordering capability.
