is an IEEE standard for LANs, that defines the physical layer as coax or unshielded
twisted pair and the MAC (medium access control) layer as CSMA/CD (carrier-sense
multiple access with collision detection).
is an IEEE standard for LANs, that defines the physical layer as shielded twisted pair
and the MAC (medium access control) layer as Token Ring.
is a coded representation of the destination of a message.
see "Event."
stands for Address Resolution Protocol, which dynamically maps network addresses
to MAC addresses.
stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
is a VT100 or compatible video display terminal.
stands for "asynchronous."
describes terminals, printers, and other devices that transmit data in a discontinuous

is an async terminal connected to a serial port (configured as COM1) in an FRX6000
or Frame Relay Module, or the Console port in an FRX4000, acting as an operator
console.
is a VT100 or compatible video display terminal.
is the default line speed code (throughput class) for async PAD ports. When a PAD
places a call through a port set to Autobaud, the port's internal clocks are set to match
the speed of the PAD.
