standard.
Twisted-pair cables are used to
connect hubs. A high-speed hub conforms to
100BASE-TX, and a switching hub has switching
functions.
IP (Internet Protocol)
Protocol used between host computers to
transfer packets over all of the Internet. The
codes that identify the destinations and senders
in packet transfers are called IP addresses. An
IP address is a 32-bit code that can identify a
network and host in the network. A unique IP
address must be allocated to each hosts that
communicates on the Internet.
IP Address
Code used for identifying a node (e.g., PC)
operating using TCP/IP. This 32-bit number is
divided into four 8-bit sections, and an example
of this is 200.10.101.1.
IP Multicast
Technology for transmitting identical data to
multiple remote destinations simultaneously us-
ing TCP/IP. An address system called class D
is used for multicasting. In the class D address
system, the first four bits (1110) indicate a multi-
cast, and the remaining 28 bits specify a
multicast group. Path control methods for IP
multicasting are PIM and DVMRP, but no one
method has become the standard yet.
LAN (Local Area Network)
Data communication system in a specific area
(maximum of 6 miles or about 10 km).
provides moderate to high data transfer speeds.
LED (Light-Emitting Diode)
The IP-920E/IP-920D has a power LED
lamp and alarm LED lamps. The power LED
lamp is lit in green to indicate this equipment
is on.
An alarm LED lamp is lit in red to
indicate that an alarm has been generated.

PING
A command supported by operating systems
such as UNIX and Windows that are used in a
TCP/IP network to determine whether IP packets
can reach or have reached a communication

Subnet Mask
Mask value used for obtaining a subnet network

between an IP address and subnet mask.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
Abbreviation of Transmission Control Protocol,
the protocol required for direct connection to the
Internet. In the OSI reference model, TCP
corresponds to the transport layer and IP
corresponds to the network layer. TCP has been a
global standard protocol that is supported by major
operating systems, including UNIX, OS/2, and
Windows.
