14 Glossary This chapter contains a list of terms used in the System Administration Guide. Each term has a corresponding definition that reflects the meaning of the term as it is used in this Guide. Terms Defined Use the following definitions to learn more about the meanings of terms used in this Guide. 10Base-T 100Base-TX ASCII BOOTP Client Server DHCP DNS 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. 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. An abbreviation of American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A coding scheme that assigns numeric values to letters, numbers, punctuation, and certain other characters. An abbreviation of Bootstrap Protocol. This is a protocol used by a network node to determine the IP address of its Ethernet interfaces, in order to boot a computer from a server via a network. A network environment in which the nodes communicate with a file server, and not directly with other nodes. An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol allowing the principal parameters of network devices (including IP Addresses) to be configured by central DHCP servers. An abbreviation of Domain Name System. A system used in the Internet for translating names of network nodes into addresses. Xerox CopyCentre/WorkCentre 118 System Administration Guide 129
