The two-pair twisted-media implementation of 100BASE-T is called 100BASE-TX. A ADPCM AMR Applet ASCII ARP AVI Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation, a new technology improved from PCM, which encodes analog sounds to digital form. AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is an audio data compression scheme optimized for speech coding, which is adopted as the standard speech codec by 3GPP. Applets are small Java programs that can be embedded in an HTML page. The rule at the moment is that an applet can only make an Internet connection to the computer form that the applet was sent. American Standard Code For Information Interchange, it is the standard method for encoding characters as 8-bit sequences of binary numbers, allowing a maximum of 256 characters. Address Resolution Protocol. ARP is a protocol that resides at the TCP/IP Internet layer that delivers data on the same network by translating an IP address to a physical address. Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio and video file type, a common format for small movies and videos. B BOOTP C Communication Connection Bootstrap Protocol is an Internet protocol that can automatically configure a network device in a diskless workstation to give its own IP address. Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and processes communicate messages to each other over media. They represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the medium. In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate with each other. D DHCP Developed by Microsoft, DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. It also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the task for network administrators because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. A new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP allows the specification for the service provided by a router, gateway, or other network device that - 47 -
