1. The Terms in use.
1.1. Network Elements
1.1.1. The physical transport media of the JINR LAN, consisting of cable backbones, hubs, switches, routers using Ethernet technology in its various modifications: BNC (thin Ethernet), UTP (twisted pair), FOIRL (fiber-optic communication lines). The topology of the JINR network is a star with a central reference segment - backbone and segments in JINR subdivisions (laboratories, administration and others). Laboratories contain their supporting segments and their rays.
1.1.2. External communications are communication channels used to link the JINR network with other organizations and the Internet community.
1.1.3. Network servers are computers on which network services operate: DNS, mail, news, www, ftp and other public services. This also includes the services of file and printer servers of general-purpose significance. All JINR subdivisions have their own local services, similar to those listed above, intended for use within the division.
1.1.4. Network computers and network users’ workstations are all computers included in the JINR network that run programs that use network resources.
1.2. Network services - special programs that run on network servers, designed to provide network services to network users (WWW, Email, news, FTP, etc.).
1.3. Users of the network are JINR staff members, as well as organizations included in the JINR network, working on network computers and workstations and using network services and network server resources.
1.4. JINR network service, the JINR Network Operation Center, is a division of the JINR Laboratory of Information Technology, designed to manage the operation of the JINR network, to monitor the use of network resources, to maintain the security regime, to register and consult network users. JINR subdivisions may have their own network services that control compliance with these Rules, as well as rules in their subdivisions agreed with the JINR network service and not contradicting these Rules.
1.5. Equipment for general use - multi-user computer systems, as well as systems and network devices for general use.
2. Registration form of the user of the JINR computer network.
