Source Routing
Normally, a host has no control over the route taken by a packet it
sends. Source routing is a technique whereby the sender of a packet
can specify the route that a packet should take through the network
to its destination.
Spool
Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line. Spooling means
putting jobs in a buffer, which is a special area in memory or on
a disk. Because devices access data at different rates, the buffer
provides a waiting station where the data can wait until the device
for which it is meant is ready to access it.
Standby
The mode in which the machine is on and ready to use.
Subnet
A portion of a network, which may be a physically independent
network segment, that shares a network address with other portions
of the network, and is distinguished by a subnet number.
For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100.
would be part of the same subnet.
Subnet Mask
SUBNETwork mask. The method used to determine which subgroup,
or subnet, an IP address belongs to on TCP/IP networks, all devices
whose IP addresses have the same prefix would belong to the same
subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security
and performance reasons.

Switching hub
A network connection box to which a number of computers can
be connected. The switching hub forwards a data packet from the
network to the appropriate computer according to the packet's
address. Conventional hubs simply send every packet to every
connected computer. Since a switching hub forwards packets only to
their intended recipients, it provides greater efficiency.
T
TCP/IP
Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The
protocol used to connect to the Internet and to wide-area networks.
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format. A file format that saves images as high-
density bitmaps, and is suitable for large amounts of image data. The
information field (tag) at the start of each image data record indicates
the type of data represented.
Tone
A key that allows you to temporarily switch to touch-tone from pulse
dialing. In some countries, on-line data services may require that you
use tone dialing.
Tone/pulse setting
The ability to set the machine to match the telephone dialing system
your telephone line uses: touch-tone or rotary pulse.
