A.2 Glossary of Terms NUMBERS 10BASE-T 10BASE-T is Ethernet over UTP Category III, IV, or V unshielded twisted-pair media. 100BASE-TX The two-pair twisted-media implementation of 100BASE-T is called 100BASE-TX. ADPCM Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation, a new technology improved from PCM, which encodes analog sounds to digital form. - Page 58 Communication Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and processes communicate messages to each other over media. They represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the medium.
- Page 59 Enterprise An enterprise network consists of collections of network networks connected to each other over a geographically dispersed area. The enterprise network serves the needs of a widely distributed company and operates the company’s mission-critical applications. Ethernet The most popular LAN communication technology. There are a variety of types of Ethernet, including 10Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1,000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
- Page 60 Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

But the addresses may not be valid outside your network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within your network request information from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the Internet under the router's IP address.
- Page 63 Protocol Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use to communicate with each other, and thus they have different functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and presenting and presenting data that will be transferred from file server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are responsible for filtering information between networks and forwarding data to its destination.
- Page 64 Server It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as files or other information. SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) is a standard protocol that delivers the real-time communication for Voice over IP (VoIP), which establishes sessions for features such as audio and video conferencing. SMTP The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for Internet mail.
