Description
Abbreviation of HyperText Transfer Protocol. A protocol used to transmit or receive
data between a web server and client (web browser, etc.). Files of image, voice, ani-
mation, etc. correlated with the document can be exchanged including the expression
form and other information.
To install hardware, operating systems, applications, printer drivers, or other software
on to a computer.
A code (address) to identify individual network devices on the Internet. IPv4 (Internet
Protocol version 4), a protocol widely used today, adopts a 32-bit number for an IP
address separated into four sections. An example of an IPv4 IP address is:
192.168.1.10. On the other hand, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), the next genera-
tion protocol, adopts 128-bit IP addresses. An IP address is allocated to all computers
and other devices connected to the Internet.
The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or receive
print data or control printers via the Internet or other TCP/IP network. IPP can also
send and print data to printers in remote areas via the Internet.
One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer of the OSI refer-
ence model.
The abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.
This is a protocol developed by Novell, Inc., typically used in NetWare environments.
The acronym for Local Area Network. This is a network constructed by connecting
computers on the same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring buildings.
A printer connected to a parallel or USB port of a computer.
The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independent printer protocol
running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol was originally developed for BSD UNIX,
and has become one of the printing protocols typically used among general comput-
ers.
The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a printing method
implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or UNIX based systems. It uses
TCP/IP to output printing data from Windows or UNIX to a printer on the network.
MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an ID number
unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiving data to or from other Eth-
ernet cards. A Mac address is a 48-bit number. The first 24 bits are controlled by IEEE
and used to allocate a unique number to each manufacture, whereas the latter 24 bits
are used by each manufacturer to assign a unique number to each card.
Unit to save data temporarily. Some types of memory retain data even after the power
is turned off, while others not.
The acronym for Novell Distributed Print Services. This provides a high performance
printing solution in NDS environments. Using NDPS for the print server simplifies and
automates complicated management activities related to printer use. For example,
you can print to a desired printer or automatically download the printer driver for a
newly installed printer. NDPS print servers also integrate management related to the
network printers.
The acronym for Novell Directory Services. This allows the centralized management
in a hierarchical structure of shared resources such as servers, printers and users in-
formation on the network, as well as the access privilege and other information related
to the users.
The abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. This is a network protocol de-
veloped by IBM. NetBEUI enables you to construct a small-scale network simply by
configuring computer names.
Abbreviation of Network Basic Input Output System. This is a communication inter-
face developed by IBM.
A network operating system developed by Novell. This uses NetWare IPX/SPX for the
communication protocol.
A remote printer support module used when using a printer server in NetWare envi-
ronments. Rprinter is used for NetWare 3.x, and Nprinter for NetWare 4.x.
A transparent sheet used for OHP (Overhead projector). This is used for presentations.
Abbreviation of Operating System. Basic software to control the computer system.
Windows, MacOS, and Unix are examples.
