I Glossary - Cobalt Digital Inc RaQ XTR User Manual

The entries in this glossary are for your information. Not all of the concepts,
technologies and protocols apply to the RaQ XTR server.
10/100 BaseTX
An Ethernet connection over twisted-pair cables with a throughput of
10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s.
10BaseT
A 10-Mb/s baseband Ethernet specification using two pairs of twisted-pair
cabling (Category 3, 4, or 5): one pair for transmitting data and the other for
receiving data. 10BaseT (part of the IEEE 802.3 specification) has a distance
limit of approximately 328 feet (100 meters) per segment.
100BaseTX
A 100-Mb/s baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of either
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) wiring. The
first pair of wires is used to receive data; the second pair is used to transmit.
To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BaseTX segment cannot exceed
328 feet (100 meters) in length. 100BaseTX is based on the IEEE 802.3
standard.
Active Server Pages (ASP)
ASP is an HTML-embedded scripting language that includes one or more
small embedded programs, or scripts, that are processed on a Web server
before the Web page is sent to the user. An ASP is somewhat similar to a
server-side include or a common gateway interface (CGI) application in that
all three involve programs that run on the server, usually tailoring a page for
the user.
For example, an ASP script can use the input from the user's request for the
page to access data from a database. The script then builds or customizes the
page on the fly and returns it to the requestor. The Web server does all of the
processing, and a standard HTML page is generated and sent to the browser.
