Telnet TCP/IP protocol governing character-oriented terminal data.
Thicknet Cabling scheme using twin axial cable.
Thinnet Cabling scheme using 50 ohm coaxial cable.
Token The character sequence passed among nodes in sequence to indicate
which one has permission to transmit.
Token passing Network access method that requires nodes to wait for their turn
before transmitting data. Turns are indicated by a character
sequence that passes from one node to the next.
Token Ring A 4 megabit per second or 16 megabit per second network using a
ring topology and a token passing access method.
Transceiver An AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) device for receiving and
transmitting data that often provides collision detection as well.
twisted pair cable A wiring scheme with one or more pairs of 18 to 24 gauge copper
strands are twisted to improve protection against electromagnetic
and radio frequency interference. Cable may be either shielded or
unshielded.
type 1 cable Shielded two-pair cable.
type 3 cable Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
type 5 cable Shielded twisted-pair cable.
WAN (Wide Area
Network)
A network capable of transmissions over large geographic areas that
uses transmission lines provided by a common-carrier.
workstation A networked computer typically reserved for end-user applications.
Zone One or more connected AppleTalk networks grouped according to
network usage.
