LTR-T Installation Guide
Glossary
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) Cable
A 15-pin shielded, twisted pair cable used (optionally) to connect the LTR-T to a
transceiver or LNI-type device.
Branch
See Segment.
Hub
See Repeater.
Local Network Interconnect
A device that allows two or more devices access to the network medium via a single
transceiver.
Medium Attachment Unit (MAU)
See Transceiver.
Network
A set of computer devices that are connected together so they can communicate with each
other. A typical network consists of computers, terminals, and printers.
Node
Any device on the network capable of generating and receiving Ethernet traffic. This can
be a workstation, terminal server, printer, etc. In general, any device with its own
ethernet address is a node. Repeaters and LNIs are not nodes, as they only regenerate
traffic that is already on the network.
Port Partitioning
The ability to temporarily disable one segment of a network while continuing
communication on the other segments. The LTR-T allows the user to manually partition
each of its ports in addition to its auto-partitioning feature, which partitions ports that
experience excessive collisions.
Repeater
A device used to extend the length, topology, or connectivity of the physical medium
beyond that imposed by a single segment, up to the maximum allowable end-to-end
transmission line length. Repeaters restore the signal amplitude, waveform, and timing of
