  ITNW 2313 - Exploring ARCnet Specifications
ARCnet was one of the topologies used early on in networking and is rarely used as the topology of choice in current LAN environments.
One of the greatest flexibilities of ARCnet is that you can integrate connections from active hubs to a linear bus connection as long as you terminate at the last connection point.
ARCnet is cabled with RG-62 A/U coax with 93 Ohm terminators or the newer UTP with 100 Ohm terminators.

 What is ARCnet? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Short for Attached Resource Computer network, ARCnet is one of the oldest, simplest, and least expensive types of local-area network.
ARCnet was introduced by Datapoint Corporation in 1977.
A special advantage of ARCnet is that it permits various types of transmission media -- twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable -- to be mixed on the same network.

 ARCNET and CircLink Products - SMSC
ARCNET has many characteristics that make it ideal for industrial and embedded networking environments.
This is due to the deterministic nature of ARCNET, its high reliability and fault tolerance, and its adaptability to a wide variety of cabling media and configurations.
CircLink™, an ARCNET derivative, further improves on the protocol by eliminating the need for external processor and is optimized as a wire-replacement technology inside industrial and commercial machines.

 The Industrial Ethernet Book - Articles: Accessing ARCNET Devices from Ethernet Networks
By contrast, an ARCNET Data packet cannot be transmitted until after a successful Free Buffer Enquiry handshake, a sequence of two short packets (one in each direction) whose purpose is to ensure that the eventual recipient of the Data packet has a buffer available in which it can store the Data packet.
ARCNET hubs are commonly used to connect multiple ARCNET cable segments because a single cable segment is limited in both its length and the number of devices which it can connect.
However, not all ARCNET networks use a network-layer protocol, and in those cases it may be difficult or perhaps impossible to construct an appropriate router depending on the way that ARCNET is being used.

 ARCnet Topology and Cabling Rules   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Programs which send packets via ARCnet basically just arrange the packet to be sent into an available buffer, along with the ARCnet Node ID of the destination, and then tell the ARCnet controller chip the buffer number that is to be sent.
Each ARCnet board has a unique (within each cabling system) 8-bit node ID, which is generally set on the network interface board using a DIP switch.
ARCnet boards often also commonly provide one or more diagnostic LEDs, which as a rule provide much the same function as the corresponding LEDs at active hubs.

 ARCNet - The Aboriginal Resource Centre is off the air. Thank you.
After providing ARCnet as a free service since 1996, and after a lot of thought, it is time for ARCnet to go off-line.
While I have very much appreciated the contact with the numerous Aboriginal business and organizations in Canada, and taken pride in being a small part in their promotion, and supporting them in this manner, the time has come to move on to other things.
ARCnet was one of the first online locations to promote Canadian Aboriginal business, and it has been a thrill to see the Internet evolve and grow and see other sites that provide a similar service — imitation, they say, is the sincerest form of flattery.

 What is ARCNET? - a definition from Whatis.com
- ARCNET is a widely-installed local area network (LAN) technology that uses a token-bus scheme for managing line sharing among the workstations and other devices connected on the LAN.
The LAN server continuously circulates empty message frames on a bus (a line in which every message goes through every device on the line and a device uses only those with its address).
ARCNET is one of four major LAN technologies, which also include Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI.
