10Base-T A specification for baseband Ethernet running up to 10-Mbps
on two pairs of twisted-pair wiring: one pair for transmitting
data and the other for receiving. To guarantee proper signal
timing, 10BaseT has a distance limit of approximately 100
meters per segment. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. See
also Ethernet and IEEE.
100Base-TX A specification for baseband Ethernet running up to 100-Mbps
on two pairs of twisted-pair wiring: either UTP or STP. The first
pair of wires is used to receive data; the second is used to
transmit. To guarantee proper signal timing, 100BaseTX has a
distance limit of approximately 100 meters per segment.
Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. See also Ethernet, and
IEEE.
ASCII An abbreviation of American Standard Code for Information
Interchange. A coding scheme that assigns numeric values to

Client Server A network environment in which the nodes communicate with
a file server, and not directly with other nodes.
DHCP An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A
protocol allowing the principal parameters of network devices
