IEEE 802.3
Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD)
access method and physical layer specifications.
IEEE 802.3ab
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
IEEE 802.3az
Defines the IEEE 802.3az specification for Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE). This specification defines a mechanism for enhancing the
twisted-pair and backplane Ethernet standards that allows for less power
consumption during periods of low data activity.
IEEE 802.3u
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
IEEE 802.3x
Defines Ethernet frame start/stop requests and timers used for flow control
on full-duplex links. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
IEEE 802.3z
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
1000BASE Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
LAN Segment Separate LAN or collision domain.
LED Light emitting diode used for monitoring a device or network condition.
Local Area Network (LAN) A group of interconnected computer and support devices.
Media Access Control
(MAC)
A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the
transmission medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network
nodes.
MIB
An acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of database
objects that contains information about the device.
RJ-45 Connector A connector for twisted-pair wiring.
STP Shielded Twisted Pair.
SMPS Switching Mode Power Supply.
Switched Ports Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.
TIA Telecommunications Industry Association
UTP Un-shielded twisted-pair cable.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision
domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the
network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers,
allowing users to share information and resources as though located on
the same LAN.
