Mbps to NVRAM

Glossary-8

Mbps Megabits Per Second. Mbps indicates the number of groups of 1000 bits

of data that are being transmitted through an operating network. Mbps

can be roughly assessed as a measure of the operational “speed” of the

network.

Media Physical cabling or other method of interconnection through which

network signals are transmitted and received.

MIC Connector 1: Token Ring genderless connector. 2: FDDI ﬁber optic connector which

may be keyed to act as an M or S connector or A/B connector.

Micron (µ) A micrometer, one millionth of a meter.

MIM Media Interface Module. See also Module.

Mission-Critical Vital to the operation of a network, company, or agency.

Modular Chassis A device which provides power, cooling, interconnection, and

monitoring functions to a series of ﬂexible and centralized modules for

the purposes of creating a network or networks.

Module A discrete device which is placed in a modular chassis to provide

functionality which may include, but is not limited to, bridging, routing,

connectivity, and repeating. Modules are easily installed and removed.

Also, any device designed to be placed in another device in order to

operate.

Multichannel A Cabletron Systems Ethernet design which provides three separate

network channels (of Ethernet or Token Ring technology) through the

backplane of a chassis, allowing for the creation of multiple networks in a

single chassis.

Multimode A type of ﬁber optics in which light travels in multiple modes, or

wavelengths. Signals in Multimode ﬁber optics are typically driven by

LEDs.

Nanometer One billionth of a meter.

NAUN Nearest Active Upstream Neighbor.

Node Any single end station on a network capable of receiving, processing, and

transmitting packets.

NVRAM Non-Volatile Random Access Memory. Memory which is protected from

elimination during shutdown and between periods of activity, frequently

through the use of batteries.
