A management add-on to Citrix WinFrame and MetaFrame
servers that allows administrators to group multiple WinFrame
and/or MetaFrame servers into scalable "server farms" to
deliver the best application performance and server resource
utilization.
1,048,576 bits. Commonly referred to as 1 million bits.
Megabits per second.
The world's first Server-based Computing software for Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 Server, Terminal Server Edition multi-user
software.
Management Information Base. A database of managed objects
accessed by network management protocols.
(Mo)dulator/(dem)odulator. Data communication equipment
(DCE) devices that provide connections for computers into the
public switched telephone network (PSTN). They convert
(modulate) the digital signals of computers into analog signals
that can be transmitted over telephone lines. A modem at the
other end of the link then demodulates the signals back to digital
bits.
Desktop client that works with existing standard monitors.
An interconnected group of nodes; a series of points, nodes, or
stations connected by communications channels; the assembly
of equipment through which connections are made between
data stations.
A cable, typically an RS-232 cable, for connecting serial ports
on two computers directly, rather than via modems. Since,
according to the specification, both computers should transmit
on pin three of their RS-232 connectors and receive on pin two,
a null modem cable needs to connect one computer's pin two to
the other's pin three and vice versa. It also needs to have male
connectors at both ends (again, according to the specification).
On Screen Display. A menu that displays on your monitor.
A group of bits (including data and call control signals)
transmitted as an identifiable unit on a packet-switched network
(PSN).
