Page 100: Appendix A: About Gigabit Ethernet And Fiber Optic Cabling
A fiber connection always require two fiber cables: one transmits data, and the other receives it. Each fiber optic cable is tipped with a connector that fits into a fiber port on a network adapter, hub, or switch. In the USA, most cables use a square SC connector that slides and locks into place when plugged into a port or connected to another cable. -

This glossary contains some basic networking terms you may come across when using this product. For more advanced terms, see the complete Linksys glossary at http://www.linksys.com/glossary. Access Mode - Specifies the method by which user access is granted to the system. - Page 105 WebView Switches Bandwidth - The transmission capacity of a given device or network. Bandwidth Assignments - Indicates the amount of bandwidth assigned to a specific application, user, and/or interface. Baud - Indicates the number of signaling elements transmitted each second. Best Effort - Indicates that traffic is assigned to the lowest priority queue, and packet delivery is not guaranteed.
- Page 106 WebView Switches Combo Ports - A single logical port with two physical connections, including an RJ-45 connection and a SFP connection. Communities - Specifies a group of users which retain the same system access rights. CoS (Class of Service) - The 802.1p priority scheme. CoS provides a method for tagging packets with priority information.
- Page 107 ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) - Allows the gateway or destination host to communicate with the source host. For example, to report a processing error. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) - Allows hosts to notify their local switch or router that they want to receive transmissions assigned to a specific multicast group.
- Page 108 WebView Switches LAN - The computers and networking products that make up your local network. MAC (Media Access Control) Address - The unique address that a manufacturer assigns to each networking device. Mask - A filter that includes or excludes certain values, for example parts of an IP address. Mbps (MegaBits Per Second) - One million bits per second;...
- Page 109 For example, all devices with a prefix of 157.100.100.100 are part of the same subnet. Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. Switch - Filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches support any packet protocol type. Appendix D: Glossary...
