10BASE-T
IEEE’s specifications for 10 Mbps Ethernet using twisted-pair cable (100
W
STP or
UTP). The maximum length of cable for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters.
1Step
Specialized program used with Accton's Ethernet Adapters for quick adapter
software installation and diagnostics.
Driver
Program that enables the network operating system to communicate with LAN
cards.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel and
Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and
coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the
OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and
implementations that operate on fiber optics, broadband, and twisted-pair.
Frame
A group of bits that include data plus control information. Generally refers to a
link layer (layer 2) protocol.
IEEE 802.3 standard
Standard for the physical and electrical connections in local area networks
developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
Interrupt
Signal that causes a momentary switch of control from program to Operating
System when input or output is required.
I/O Address
Input/output address; starting address for data input and output.
