MAC Address
Media Access Control Address. A unique physical address of a network card. For Ethernet, the first three
bytes are used as the vendor code, controlled and assigned by IEEE. The remaining three bytes are
controlled by each vendor (preventing overlap), therefore, every Ethernet card is given a unique physical
address in the world, being assigned with a different address from other cards. For Ethernet, frames are
sent and received based on this address.
MB
Megabyte. One million bytes.
Megahertz
1,000,000 cycles per second.
Memory
A repository for data and applications which is readily accessible to your LifeBook notebook's CPU.
MHz
Megahertz.
Modem
A contraction for MOdulator-DEModulator. The equipment which connects a computer or other data
terminal to a communication line.
Monaural
A system using one channel to process sound from all sources.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit
The maximum data size that can be transferred at a time through the Internet or other networks. You can
set a smaller MTU size to obtain successful communication, if you have difficulty transferring data due
to the fact that the maximum size is too large.
