Glossary

100Base-TX

IEEE’s specifications for 100Mbit/s Ethernet using 2-pairs of Category 5 twisted-pair cable. The HP

100Base-T Hub models require 100

W STP or UTP cable.

100Base-FX

IEEE’s specifications for 100Mbit/s Ethernet using multimode fiber optic cable. The 100FX Switch

Port Module must be used to support fiber optic cable with SC-type connectors.

BOOTP

Boostrap protocol used to load the operating system for devices connected to the network.

Cascade Port

An MDI RJ-45 port used to connect compatible devices in a daisy-chain configuration using straight-

through twisted-pair cable. To cascade two devices, either run a connection from the cascade port on

one device to a station port on the other device, or cascade the two devices by running crossover cable

between MDI-X station ports on both devices. Remember that the HP 100Base-T Hub is a Class I Fast

Ethernet Repeater and cannot be cascaded to another device in the same collision domain.

Collision

A condition in which two packets transmitted over a medium interfere with each other. Their

interference makes both signals unintelligible. The transmitting devices have to halt transmission for a

random period of time before trying to send data again. Note that collisions do not occur on full-

duplex connections.

Configuration

The way to set up a computer, server, or local area network.

Connection

A logical binding between two or more users of an interconnection service.
