Glossary of Networking Terms

~omputer

system or application. (2) Layer 5 of the
International Standards Organization (1S0) Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model
for network architectures.

Statistical Multiplexing.

Signal.

A physical, time-dependent energy
value used to convey infonnation through a transmission line. Contrast with noise.

Stop Bit.

Simplex.

Store and Forward.

Smart Terminal. A display tenninal that can
operate conversational or block mode and can suppan local editing capabilities, error detection and
correction and protocols like BISYNC or SOLC.

Strap a Hard-wired Connection.

The capability to transmit in one direction only. Contrast with half- duplex and fullduplex.

SNA Systems Network Architecture.
The network architecture developed by IBM.

Space.

The signal corresponding to a binary
zero. The space condition exists when the voltage
is more positive than +3 volts (EIA RS-232-C interface).

Specialized Carrier.

A company that provides value-added or limited communications facilities, not AT&T or a Bell company.

Split Screen. The ability of a CRT screen to
be divided into two or more independent display
areas.
Star.

A network topology in which each station
is connected only to a central device and communicates with all other stations through the central device.

A time-division
multiplexing technique in which time slots are dynamically allocated on the basis of need, rather
than on a preassigned basis.
The idle state following the transmission of a character, usually required to be at least
1, 1.42, 1.5, or 2 bit times long.

A method of queueing
messages and transmitting them when a facility becomes available. Synonymous with message
Switching and electronic mail.
A

strapping option is one that is implemented by
changing wires or setting switches.

Switched Line. One of a series of lines that
can be connected through a switching center. Contrast with leased line.
SWitched Message Network. A network
service, such as Telex, or TWX (TelexIl) providing switched rather than penn anent interconnection of message devices such as teletypewriters.

Sync Character.

A defined bit pattern used
to achieve character synchronization between two
devices.

Synchronization.

The process of adjusting
a receiving device's clock, e.g. modem, to match
the clock of the transmitting device.

Synchronous.

A local network. deSign and specification within IEEE 802.3 standards subcomminee,
characterized by a bus structure. 1M bps baseband
data transmission over two-pair. Twisted-pair wiring using CSMNCD access.

Having a constant time interval between successive bits. characters, or events.
Synchronous transmission does not use the start
and stop bits of asynchronous transmission to identify the beginning and end of characters. It is more
efficient than asynchronous transmission. The timing is achieved by transmitting sync characters
prior to the data.

Start-Stop (signaling).

Synchronous TransmiSSion.

StarLAN.

Signaling in which
each character is preceded by a start signal which
prepares the receiving mechanism for the reception
of a character. It is followed by a stop signal which
indicates the end of a character and prepares the receiver foranother character reception. Also known
as asynchronous transmission.

Station.

One of the input or output devices of
a communications system-e.g., the telephone set in
the telephone system or the business machine on
the channel or a leased private line.

Transmission process where the infonnation and control
characters (a block) are sent at regular clocked intervals so that the sending and receiving tenninals
are in step with each other.

T Carrier.

A time-division multiplexed, digital transmission facility.

T1. A digital carrier facility used to transmit a
fonnatted digital signal at 1.544 Mbps, the equivalent of 24 digital voice channels.
