Routing Information
Protocol
The routing protocol used by TCP/IP and IPX routers.
Using a distance-vector routing protocol, it optimizes the
routing between source and destination addresses by
minimizing the hop count. The firmware supports RIP to
allow NMS to ascertain the repeater MAC address, thus
allowing NMS to initiate SNMP over IPX
communication.
RS-232
The EIA (Electronics Industry Association)
recommended Standard 232 defines a standard way of
transferring serial information by wire using single-
ended line drivers and receivers. RS-232 lines generally
include transmit, receive, ground and various control
lines.
RS-485
The EIA (Electronics Industry Association)
recommended Standard 485 defines a standard way of
transferring serial information by wire using differential
line drivers and receivers.
Router
A device used to connect two or more networks at the
Network layer of the ISO-OSI reference model. The
router must understand the communication protocols
being used because it uses information provided by the
protocols in each packet to determine how to route the
packets.
SAP
See Services Advertising Protocol.
SAP ID
The SAP ID is used to identify the type of services
available by a server. The 8-port and 16-port repeaters
use a hex SAP ID of 05A9 to advertise themselves as a
repeater service.
Segment
A segment is a separate collision domain. Each Ethernet
segment supports a 10-Mb/s bandwidth. A multiple
segment implementation increases the bandwidth of a
local area network.
