|
2 | | In the Token-Ring configuration, all the nodes or PCs in the network are connected end to end in a continuous . |
|
|
3 | | Token-Ring LANs use cable. |
|
|
4 | | A token is a unique binary passed from one node to another around the ring. |
|
|
5 | | It is estimated that more than 90 percent of all LANs are . |
|
|
6 | | A(n) is a communication system with two or more stations that can communicate with one another. |
|
|
7 | | Each in a network is referred to as a node. |
|
|
8 | | are smaller networks, such as cable TV systems, that generally cover a city, town, or village. |
|
|
9 | | A(n) is a short-range wireless network that is set up automatically between two or more devices such as laptop computers, PDAs, peripheral devices, or cell phones. |

|
10 | | A basic star configuration consists of a central node and multiple individual stations connected to it. |
|
|
11 | | The topology is simply a bus design in which each node has multiple interconnections to other nodes through a star interconnection. |
|
|
12 | | is the sending and receiving of electronic messages and memos. |
|
|
13 | | LANs are smaller and less expensive than the client-server variety and they afford an easy way to provide home network communication. |
|
|
14 | | Many newer office buildings are constructed with special vertical , called plenums, through which cables are run between floors. |
