J2RE A set of basic programs to run applications developed in the programming
(Java 2 Runtime language of Java2. This set includes Java virtual machine providing
Environment) runtime environment for Java applications among others. Java applets do
not require J2RE since these are executed on Web browsers using Java
runtime environment provided on browsers. However, standalone Java
applications require Java runtime environment such as J2RE for execution.
Runtime environments can be downloaded for free of charge from the Web
site of Sun Microsystems, the Java developer.
Java A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, in the U. S. A.
Low dependent on models and OSes and runs on various platforms. Taking
advantage of this feature, many applications that runs on web servers uses
Java. The MEAP platform uses J2ME - a type of Java.
JavaScript A script language developed by Netscape Communications, in the U.S. A.,
runs on web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer.
Allows web designers to create interactive pages with HTML files such as
animated buttons and display of timetables.
Java VM JAVA Virtual Machine. The Java byte code interpreter. The Virtual Machine
(Java Virtual Machine) acts as an interpreter for processing the byte code using the native
instruction set.
License Access A number issued for accessing license file. The Licensing server requires
Number entries of application ID, expiration date/times information, and the number
of access numbers, to issue license access numbers
Licensae File A software manufacture of a MEAP application provides the users with the
license files. Specifies the terms of agreement that a user concludes with
the manufacturer. Required for installing a MEAP application.
LMS The license is required for installing a MEAP application in a MEAPenabled
(License Management iR device. LMS is the server issuing [ License Files ] as well as license
System) access numbers.
Login Service Manages user information of MEAP device. Authenticates users with user
names and passwords. Three login services are available for MEAP device
- Default Authentication, which provides department ID control, SDL (Simple
Device Login) and SSO (Single Sign-On).
Mass Storage class Mass Storage means a storage device with large capacity, generally
secondary storage devices. Mass Storage class means USB class
classified in the secondary storage device group.
MEAP (Multifunction Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform. Provides an environment
Embedded Application for executing application programs on a peripheral device. Uses the Java
Platform) platform (J2ME - Java 2 platform Micro Edition) to run Java application for
MEAP.
MEAP Contents Required to install an MEAP application to a MEAP device.

MEAP Specifications MEAP Spec Version, the term used for the SDK. The version number that
(MEAP Spec Version) shows the APIs of the MEAP platform other than CPCA, such as network
and security. The version number is not assigned for each device model.
MEAP Application Runs on MEAP platform. Consists of application files
(*.jar) and the license file (*.lic).
MEAP-enabled iR iR devices with built-in MEAP platform.

Gateway Initiative)
Portal Service The web portal to gain access to a MEAP-enabled device. This service has
been integrated in Remote UI top page in iR ADVANCE series.
Protocol A set of rules applied to data transmission procedures over network. Major
communication protocols include:
• FTP: File Transfer Protocol. This is a communication protocol or
protocolimplemented commands to provide file transfer between a host
and clients over TCP/IP network.
• DHCP: An upward compatible protocol of BOOTP. This communication
protocol allocates a dynamic IP address to each client machine upon
communication startup on TCP/IP network and collects the allocated IP
address when communication is completed. The server allocates one of
multiple IP addresses and notifies the setup information to a client.
• BOOTP: A communication protocol to automatically load setup
information including IP address and a domain name from the server to a
client on TCP/IP network.
• RARP: A communication protocol to request IP address information via
the network adaptor address (MAC address) of a client.
• IPP: A communication protocol to execute remote printing between the
print server and clients via Internet.
• TCP/IP: A standard communication protocol required to access to
Internet and other large-scale network.
Proxy Server Provides functions to store data fetched from remote servers. When a
user request to display a web page that has been displayed and stored
in the proxy, the proxy server read the stored data but does not access
the remote server where the original page is present, for efficient access
services. When a proxy server receives a URL from a PC, it searches the
file in the cache and sends it to the PC if the requested file is found. If the
requested file is not stored in the cache, it accesses the remote server of
the URL to acquire the file and, at the same time, stores the acquired file
in the cache so that the proxy server can quickly send the file at the next
request.
Redistribution module A built-in module of an application created with SDK. Applications without
this module cannot work on MEAP platform.
