IPX
Novell NetWare Internetwork Packet eXchange protocol that provides a
connectionless datagram service.
Jabbering
Continuous transmission from a node; generally as a result of a
hardware or firmware failure.
LED
Light Emitting Diode. An LED usually indicates the operating status of
a device by displaying various conditions (i.e., different colors and
on/off states).
Link Test
A link test is performed by the hardware to ensure the integrity of the
cable (i.e., the link). The link test can be disabled to allow old style NICs
which are not capable of performing a link test to connect to the
repeater. For 10Base-T, the link test is a periodic pulse sent during idle
times between packets. For 100Base-T, a continuous transmission of
idle codes are sent between packets to ensure link integrity.
MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address is a 6-byte node address. All Ethernet node
addresses are unique. The MAC address of a 2524/2624 or 3512/3612
repeater must be known before the repeater IP address can be set.
Manageable
A module is manageable if it contains a SNMP agent and there is a data
communication path to that agent.
