Advanced Interactive eXecutive. A version of the UNIX operating system from
IBM that runs on various IBM computers including Mainframe systems.
A local area network protocol for communication between Apple Computer
products and other computers and peripherals.
Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol within the TCP/IP suite of network
protocols that allows a host to find the physical address of a node on the same
network. ARP cannot be used across routers.
Verification of identity, for instance by use of digital signatures.
A method to automatically set an IP address in the absence of a DHCP server.
BOOT Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol, used for downloading start-up information
such as the IP address to hosts on the network. BOOTP requires a BOOTP
daemon on your system. A request made to an active BOOTP daemon initiates a
search of the Boot Table for an entry matching the print server's Ethernet
address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon downloads the IP address to
the print server.
Berkeley Software Distribution. The University of California, Berkeley additions
to the UNIX operating system.
An organization or company that issues digital certificates.
This is a file that resides in the print server's memory and contains all the
parameters that determine the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 functionality. By editing
the config file (changing the parameter settings), you can configure the print
server to meet the printing needs of your network.
Means that print jobs are sent to a file server, with different clients attached to
the print queue, rather than directly to the print server (Peer-to-Peer printing).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Enables e.g. a print server to
automatically obtain an unused IP address from the DHCP server.
To fully benefit from this method, the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 also supports
DDNS, which is available in Windows 2000 networks.
Used to create digital signatures and public/private key pairs for secure Web
services.
