Elementary Terminology of Networks

Elementary Terminology of Networks

Nodes (Workstations)

The term nodes refers to the computers that are attached to a network and are seeking to share the resources of the network. Of course, if there were no nodes (also called workstations), there would be no network at all. A computer becomes a workstation of a network as soon as it is attached to a network.

Server

computer that facilitates "the sharing of data" software" and hardware - resources (e.g. "printers" modems etc,) on the network" is termed as a SERVER.
On small networks, sometimes, all the shareable stuff (like files, data, software etc.) is stored on the server. A network can have more than one server also. Each server has a unique name on the network and all users of network identify the server by its unique name. Servers can be of two types: non dedicated and dedicated servers.

Network Interface Unit (NIU)

A NETWORK INTERFACE UNIT is an interpreter that helps to establish communication between the server and workstations. The network-interface-unit is a device that is attached to each of the workstations and the server, and helps the workstation to establish the all important connection with the network. Each network-interface-unit that is attached to a workstation has a unique number identifying it which is known as the node address. The NIU is also called Terminal Access Point (TAP). Different manufacturers have different names for the interface.
