Terms and Concepts

Configuration -- a prepared set of conditions for proper operation of a device. Configuring the
network interface is to prepare it to work with protocols available on a network.

to devices on a network.
EtherTalk -- the communication protocol of AppleTalk governing Ethernet transmissions
