Three network interface widgets (2 Ethernet and 1 WiFi) showing two network interfaces being up, one being down with no cable plugged in (hence: "no carrier"), underlined in red. NO CARRIER (capitalized) is a word code transmitted from a modem to its attached device (typically a computer ), indicating the modem is not (or no longer) connected ...
A NIC cannot detect local collisions without attempting to send information. On UTP cable, a local collision is detected on the local segment only when a station detects a signal on the RX pair at the same time it is sending on the TX pair. Since the two signals are on different pairs, there is no characteristic change in the signal.
Data Carrier Detect (DCD) or Carrier Detect (CD) is a control signal present inside an RS-232 serial communications cable that goes between a computer and another device, such as a modem. This signal is a simple "high/low" status bit that is sent from a data communications equipment (DCE) to a data terminal equipment (DTE), i.e., from the modem ...
An Ethernet port on a laptop computer connected to a twisted pair cable with an 8P8C modular connector Symbol used by Apple and Google on some devices to denote an Ethernet connection Ethernet ( / ˈ iː θ ər n ɛ t / EE -thər-net ) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan ...
An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers ) or two switches to each other.
Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium-dependent interface – crossover (MDI-X) interface. Auto–MDI-X ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover and automatically choose the MDI or MDI-X configuration to complement the other end of the link.
The authenticator is a network device that provides a data link between the client and the network and can allow or block network traffic between the two, such as an Ethernet switch or wireless access point; and the authentication server is typically a trusted server that can receive and respond to requests for network access, and can tell the ...
Ethernet over USB is the use of a USB link as a part of an Ethernet network, resulting in an Ethernet connection over USB (instead of e.g. PCI or PCIe).. USB over Ethernet (also called USB over Network or USB over IP) is a system to share USB-based devices over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or the Internet, allowing access to devices over a network.
