Incoming Telnet and rlogin connections are not associated with
a physical port. Instead, they are associated with a virtual port,
port 0, which serves for the duration of the connection. Each
virtual port is created with a default set of characteristics. The
Define Port commands can be used to customize a virtual port
during the Telnet/Rlogin session; however, these customizations
can not be saved. The port reverts to the default set of
characteristics when the session is closed.
Wide Area Network. A data-communications system covering a
large geographic area, usually digital circuits having moderate
to high data rates (e.g., 56 to 64 kbps up to 1.5 to 2 Mbps).
A network device that is attached to non-network serial devices,
such as terminals, printers and modems, or to an Ethernet
network.
A fixed-function thin-client device that connects to a Citrix
WinFrame or MetaFrame server and Terminal Server to provide
application access. The key differentiator of a WBT from other
thin devices is that all application execution occurs on the
server; there is no downloading or local processing of
applications at the client.
A multi-user Windows application server, based on Windows
NT, developed under license from Microsoft.
Windows Internet Naming Service. WINS allows machines to
dynamically register their name-to-address mappings. WINS is
also a flat name space without the concept of hierarchy and
requires each WINS server to maintain a complete database of
entries through replication.
