712 Glossary
TE terminal equipment: Any peripheral device that is ISDN-compatible
and attached to a network, such as a telephone or computer. TE1s are
devices that are ISDN-ready and understand ISDN signaling techniques.
TE2s are devices that are not ISDN-ready and do not understand ISDN signaling
techniques. A terminal adapter must be used with a TE2.
TE1 A device with a four-wire, twisted-pair digital interface is referred to
as terminal equipment type 1. Most modern ISDN devices are of this type.
TE2 Devices known as terminal equipment type 2 do not understand ISDN
signaling techniques, and a terminal adapter must be used to convert the
signaling.
telco A common abbreviation for the telephone company.
Telnet The standard terminal emulation protocol within the TCP/IP protocol
stack. Method of remote terminal connection, enabling users to log in
on remote networks and use those resources as if they were locally connected.
Telnet is defined in RFC 854.
10BaseT Part of the original IEEE 802.3 standard, 10BaseT is the Ethernet
specification of 10Mbps baseband that uses two pairs of twisted-pair, Category
3, 4, or 5 cabling—using one pair to send data and the other to receive.
10BaseT has a distance limit of about 100 meters per segment. See also:
Ethernet and IEEE 802.3.
terminal adapter A hardware interface between a computer without a
native ISDN interface and an ISDN line. In effect, a device to connect a standard
async interface to a non-native ISDN device, emulating a modem.
terminal emulation The use of software, installed on a PC or LAN server,
that allows the PC to function as if it were a “dumb” terminal directly
attached to a particular type of mainframe.
TFTP Conceptually, a stripped-down version of FTP, it’s the protocol of
choice if you know exactly what you want and where it’s to be found. TFTP
doesn’t provide the abundance of functions that FTP does. In particular, it has
no directory browsing abilities; it can do nothing but send and receive files.
thicknet Also called 10Base5. Bus network that uses a thick cable and runs
Ethernet up to 500 meters.
