In CSMA/CA each computer signals its intent to transmit before it actually transmits
data. In this way computers sense when a collision might occur and may avoid
transmission collisions. Broadcasting this intent however increases network traffic
and so slows down network performance. For this reason CSMA/CA is not as popular
as CSMA/CD. Apple Macintosh computers use CSMA/CA when connecting together
with LocalTalk

The method whereby Ethernet and 802.3 stations transmit onto a network. The
stations monitor the network and if no activity is sensed, begin to transmit. They
continue to monitor, and should multiple stations have tried to access the cable at
once, they’ll sense a collision, cease transmission, wait a random time and then try
again.

Pronounced “ee-prom”. A special type of ROM (Read Only Memory) that can be
erased by high intensity ultraviolet (UV) light and then rewritten, or reprogrammed.
EPROM chips usually contain UV-permeable quartz windows exposing some of the
chips internal components.

(WKHUQHW
A networking specification that first appeared in a modern form in the early 1980’s.
It was developed by Digital, Xerox and Intel. It describes the type of data frame that
can be sent over a network and the methods used to manage data collisions. It is
similar, but not identical to the IEEE 802.3 specification.

Also known as a server, this is a central computer that supplies services to other PC’s
(Clients) connected to a network. This term is also used to describe a file server type
of network in which the server only holds data and the processing of the data is done
at each workstation.

Flash Memory is an alternative to using an “EPROM”. Instead of having a physical
device that must be changed as with an “EPROM”, Flash Memory comes in a data file
format. The file contains the content of the flash memory. The file is downloaded by a
computer to the device, in our case the AR5132. During the download, the data file is
written into the memory of the device, the flash memory then becomes permanent.
Both the Printer Board and the network card for the AR5132 include a Flash Memory.

A Gateway allows different systems to talk to each other. It is a system that transfers
network data between network types, translating the data between the two types as
needed. Although there is a Gateway setting within the AR5132’s Control Panel
Menu, the network card does not support this function. Because of this, the Gateway
Address does not need to be set on the copier.

This is a central point of larger networks. A type of junction box. Hubs come in
various degrees of sophistication and size ranging from simple products providing just
the electrical functions for small networks of less than eight users, to focal points for
large corporate networks.

On March 30
th
1994, the IEEE Standards Board approved its parallel port standard.
Before the IEEE 1284 standard, parallel ports came in many differing shapes and
sizes, although there were four main types: Standard Parallel Ports, Bi-directional
Parallel Ports, Enhanced Parallel Ports and Extended Capabilities Ports. The IEEE
1284 standard redefined the differences in the ports, classifying them by the transfer
mode that they use. It also describes the physical and electrical characteristics of each
type of port.

The AR-5132 will require an IP Address if it is used on a network that is running the
TCP/IP Protocol. The IP Address can be assigned to the copier by the technician
from the machines Printer Board Control Panel Menu. Alternatively, the customer
can set the IP Address for the copier using either the Printset Utility Software that is
included with the Network Card or through a DOS command called “ARP”.

LocalTalk refers to the cables and connectors used within an AppleTalk network on
Apple Macintosh computers. Because of the slow speed of LocalTalk, it is limited to
the number of devices that can be connected. Over the years, LocalTalk has become
too slow for graphics and colour image intensive applications, and so users have
moved to Ethertalk. LocalTalk uses CSMA/CA as an access method in a bus or tree
topology with Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or even
Fibre Optic Cable.
