Glossary
132
This glossary contains definitions of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms that are
used in this manual. The terms are not necessarily Agilent specific, but are for
data communications in general.
10Base-T
10 Mbps, BASEband operation, unshielded Twisted-pair wiring used for Ethernet
networks.
100Base-FX
100Base-FX uses multimode fiber-optic cable to carry traffic ten times faster than
10Base-T. It is used primarily to connect Hubs and switches together on Fast
Ethernet networks.
100Base-TX
100 Mbps, BASEband operation, unshielded Twisted-pair wiring used for Fast
Ethernet networks. 100Base-TX is ten times faster than 10Base-T.
ADCCP (Advanced Data Communication Control Procedure)
This level 2 protocol was developed by ANSI (American National Standards
Institute). All data transmissions are in frames, and the starting flag, address, and
control fields are known as Header information and the FCS and ending flags are
known as Trailer information.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
The Address Resolution Protocol is at the Network Layer in the OSI model. ARP
provides a mechanism for finding the physical address (Internet Address) of a
target host on the same physical network, given only the target's Internet address.
