DEQNA
The abbreviation for DIGITAL Equipment Q-bus Network Adapter. DEQNA
connects MicroVAX and Q-bus-based PDP-11 systems to the Ethernet.
DESTA
A station adapter that acts as a ThinWire Ethernet transceiver. A DESTA
allows you to connect a station with a transceiver cable to ThinWire Ethernet.
DEUNA
The abbreviation for DIGITAL Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter.
DEUNA connects VAX and UNIBUS-based PDP-11 systems to the Ethernet.
connector
A BNC-style connector that connects a section of ThinWire cable to a T-
connector, to a system, or to a barrel connector.
Ethernet
A type of local area network based on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD).
ground
A voltage reference point in a system that has a zero voltage potential.
H4000-BA
Ethernet transceivers. See transceiver.
local area network (LAN)
A privately owned communication network whose speed is upward of 1
megabits-per-second.
Local Area VAXcluster
Extends the current VAXcluster architecture to include MicroVAX 2000 and
VAXstation 2000 in a VAXcluster environment. Local Area VAXclusters use
ThinWire or standard Ethernet as the common interconnect.
multiport repeater
A repeater used to connect two or more cable segments.
multisegment LAN
A LAN composed of more than one cable segment.
