Password
A character string which must be entered by a user
who is accessing a network because of network
security. If a password is set, the user cannot
access unless the user enters the valid password
correctly.
Patch Cable
The transmission signal cable and receiving signal
cable are wired straight to communicate correctly.
Generally used for connection between the PC and
HUB.
Protocol
Definition of procedure to execute send/receive data
in the communication.
Subnet mask
A subnet mask is used in one IP address as a net-
work address and host address. Assuming that the
IP address of a host is “192.168.0.1” and the subnet
mask is “255.255.255.0” multiply the IP address of
binary notation and subnet mask of binary notation
together, and the network address “192.168.0.0” is
obtained. Then, the remainder “1” is the host
address.
Traffic
Flow of packets on the network or load applied to
the network line (e.g., data transmitted through the
network line). As the traffic increases, the data
transmission rate may decrease or data may be
lost.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
A function to encrypt, send and receive a wireless
LAN signal. This function can prevent wireless LAN
communication interception.
10BASE-T
One of the Ethernet standards. 10BASE-T achieves
the transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s with a twisted pair
cable.
100BASE-TX
One of the Ethernet standards. 100BASE-TX
achieves the transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s with a
twisted pair cable of Category 5.
