Full-Duplex Mode: A mode of
media utilization whereby data
can flow in both directions
simultaneously acrossthemultiple
wire pairs of a physical link. While
full-duplex operation is not defined
per se in the IEEE 802.3u-1995
specification, the specification does
define a mechanism for this mode
to be autonegotiated between
devices on each end of a link.
Full-duplex mode is typically
found on switches. The HP-PB
10/100Base-TX card supports both
full- and half-duplex
communications.
Half-Duplex Mode: The media
utilization mode of IEEE
802.3u-1995 networks whereby
data can flow in only one direction
at a time across the multiple wire
pairs of a physical link.
Hardware Path: An identifier
assigned by the system according
to the physical location (slot) of the
card in the hardware backplane.
On Series 800 systems, the I/O
subsystem identifies each LAN
card by its hardware path.
Hostname: Name of system on
the network. Refer to the network
map in appendix B for example
usage.
Hub: A network interconnection
device that allows multiple devices
to share a single logical link
segment. Hubs are generally
either 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s
devices. Use either a 10Base-T or
100Base-TX hub with the HP-PB
10/100Base-TX card.
IEEE: The Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers. A
national association, whose
activities include publishing
standards applicable to various
electronic technologies. The IEEE
technical committees are
numbered and grouped by area.
For example, the 800 committees
study local area network
technologies. The 802.3 committee
produced the standard for a
CSMA/CD local area network,
which has been adopted by ANSI.
IEEE 802.3u-1995 network: A
10 or 100 megabit-per-second LAN,
specified in the IEEE 802.3u-1995
Standard for Local Area Networks.
It uses the Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD) network access
method to give every node equal
access to the network.
Internet Address: The network
address of a computer node. This
address identifies both which
