Correspondence in the form of messages that are transmitted between user terminals over a computer network.
email
See electronic mail.
encryption
A method of storing data in a format that helps protect data from inadvertent or deliberate compromise. An encryption-enabled drive contains the necessary
hardware and firmware to encrypt and decrypt host tape application data. Encryption policy and encryption keys are provided by the host application or host server.
encryption key manager (EKM)
A Java™ software program that assists IBM-encrypting tape drives in generating, protecting, storing, and maintaining encryption keys that encrypt information that
is written to and decrypt information that is read from tape media.
entitlement
IBM®Entitlement is the official right to receive service and support for your tape library.
EPO
Emergency power off.
EPROM
Erasable programmable read only memory.
EQC
Equipment check.
equipment check
An asynchronous indication of a malfunction.
Error log
A data set or file in a product or system where error information is stored for later access.
ESD
Electrostatic discharge.
ESP
Encapsulating Security Payload. An Internet Protocol that provides origin authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality protection of a packet. ESP also supports
encryption-only and authentication-only configurations, but encryption without authentication is discouraged because it is insecure.
F
fault symptom code (FSC)
A hexadecimal code that is generated by the drive or the control unit microcode in response to a detected subsystem error.
FC
Feature code.
FCC
Federal communications commission.
FE
Field engineer, customer engineer, or service representative.
fiducial
A target that is used for teaching a physical location to a robot.
field replaceable unit (FRU)
An assembly that is replaced in its entirety when any one of its components fails.
file
A named set of records that are stored or processed as a unit. Also referred to as a data set.
file protection
The processes and procedures that are established in an information system that are designed to inhibit unauthorized access to, contamination of, or deletion of a
file.
file transfer protocol (FTP)
In the Internet suite of protocols, an application layer protocol that uses TCP and Telnet services to transfer bulk-data files between machines or hosts.
firmware
Proprietary code that is delivered as microcode as part of an operating system. Firmware is more efficient than software loaded from an alterable medium and more
adaptable to change than pure hardware circuitry. An example of firmware is the Basic input/output system (BIOS) in read-only memory (ROM) on a PC system
