Xerox WorkCentre 7132 System Administration Guide
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using two pairs of
twisted-pair cabling: one pair for transmitting data and the
other for receiving data. 10Base-T, which is part of the IEEE
802.3 specification, has a distance limit of approximately 100
meters per segment. See also Ethernet and IEEE.
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two
pairs of either UTP or STP wiring. The first pair of wires is
used to receive data; the second is used to transmit. To
guarantee proper signal timing, a 100Base-TX segment
cannot exceed 100 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
standard. See also Ethernet, and IEEE.
1000Base-T uses all four cable pairs for simultaneous
transmission in both directions through the use of echo
cancellation and a 5-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-
5) technique.
In 1999, the 802.3ab standard (1000Base-T) allows Gigabit
Ethernet to run over Category 5 copper cable, enabling GigE
devices to be readily installed in 100BaseT networks without
cable changes. The maximum distance between nodes is
based on the type of transceiver and cable used.
An abbreviation of American Standard Code for Information
Interchange. A coding scheme that assigns numeric values to
letters, numbers, punctuation, and certain other characters.
A tracking system, which is built into the machine. You can
use Auditron to track overall machine usage, individual usage,
and usage of each feature separately.
An abbreviation of Bootstrap Protocol. This is a protocol used
by a network node to determine the IP address of its Ethernet
interfaces, in order to boot a computer from a server via a
network.
