GENERAL THOUGHTS ABOUT
THE TECHNICAL COMPENDIUM

ORGANIZATION AND NAVIGATION

From the Compendium Index page you can select a number of technical topics to research.  Each topic has a number of sub-topics under it.  In many cases a sub-topic will, itself, have further sub-divisions or figures associated with it.

WB00677_.gif (630 bytes) Each page contains a list of its sub-topics in the left-hand margin.  You can also return to the Compendium Index page from the left-hand margin.

In the diagram below you see that this Preface page has no sub-topics.  There are, however, a large number of "parallel" topics; for example, Reference and Ethernet (and Fast Ethernet, and Token-Ring, and all the other main topics on the Compendium Index page).  At the very bottom of each page you will find options to not only go back to the Compendium Index page, but to go to the Compendium Table Of Contents page.  The Table Of Contents is a complete outline of all the pages in the Technical Compendium whereas the Index simply lists the major headings.

At the bottom of each page you will also find a list of all other related topics that are sub-topics under the current subject.  In the diagram below you see that Reference and Ethernet are related topics that are sub-topics under the Compendium Table Of Contents.  The [Next Topic] and [Previous Topic] choices move you left and right in the same level of sub-topics.

CONTINUE TO SELECT [Next Topic]
UNTIL THERE ARE NO MORE TOPICS TO READ.

  USE OF THE TERM "DLC ADDRESS"

Throughout the Compendium, the term "DLC address" is sometimes used. This term, which may be unfamiliar to some readers, stands for "Data Link Control Layer Address", and is used to refer to the address on the Network Interface Card that is burned in by the vendor at the time of manufacture. Other common terms for this address include "MAC address" and "physical address". This address should not be confused with network layer addresses such as IP addresses.
