10Base-T
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using two pairs of
twisted-pair cabling: one pair for transmitting data and the
other for receiving data. 10Base-T, which is part of the IEEE
802.3 specification, has a distance limit of approximately 100
meters per segment. See also Ethernet and IEEE.

100Base-TX
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two
pairs of either UTP or STP wiring. The first pair of wires is
used to receive data; the second is used to transmit. To
guarantee proper signal timing, a 100Base-TX segment
cannot exceed 100 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
standard. See also Ethernet, and IEEE.

BOOTP
An abbreviation of Bootstrap Protocol. This is a protocol used
by a network node to determine the IP address of its Ethernet
interfaces, in order to boot a computer from a server via a
network.

DHCP
An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A
protocol allowing the principal parameters of network devices
(including IP Addresses) to be configured by central DHCP
servers.
