802.3 network cabling using thin coaxial. 10Base5 - A form of Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 network cabling using thick coax. Baseband - A term defining any network in which the information is modulated onto a single carrier frequency. The digital input is applied directly to the transmission media without the intervention of a modulating device, which works well if there is wide bandwidth and distances no more than several hundred meters are involved. It is common in LANs and limited distance modems.
All stations attached to the network have to participate in every transmission.
Ethernet is a baseband network. Baud - A unit of s gnarling speed, expressed in terms of the number of discrete conditions or signal events per second. Beaconing - Token Ring process to recover the network when any attached station has sensed that the ring is inoperable because of a hard error Stations can withdraw from the ring if needed. Bindery - A database that contains definitions for entities such as users, groups and workgroups in the Novel NetWare LAN network operating system environment. The bindery supports the design, organization and secure operation of the NetWare environment.
