Description
A set of specifications under the Ethernet standards. Those cables that con-
sist of twisted copper wire pairs are used. The transmission rates of 10Base-
T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T are respectively 10Mbps, 100Mpbs and
1000Mbps.
®
Software or its file format developed by Adobe Systems Inc. (formerly by
Macromedia, Inc.), used to create a content by compiling vector-graphic an-
imations and sounds.
The software allows handling interactive contents using keyboard or mouse.
The files can be kept relatively compact and accessed from a Web browser
with dedicated plug-in software.
The generic name for the protocol suite developed by Apple Computer for
computer networking.
The abbreviation for binary digit. The smallest unit of information (data quan-
tity) handled by a computer or printer. A bit uses only a 0 or a 1 to indicate
data.
The abbreviation for bitmap. This is a file format for saving image data. (The
file extension is ".bmp".)
Commonly used on Windows platforms. BMP covers the color depth from
monochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). BMP images are not
suitable for compressed storage.
A Macintosh network technology, automatically detecting a device connect-
ed to the network for automatic configuration. Previously called "Rendez-
vous", and has been changed to "Bonjour" since Mac OS X v10.4.
The abbreviation for Bootstrap Protocol. The protocol is used for a client
computer on the TCP/IP network to load network configuration automatically
from a server. Instead of BOOTP, DHCP, an advanced protocol based on
BOOTP, is typically used today.
Brightness of a display or other screen.
A byte indicates a unit of information (data quantity) handled by a computer
or printer. A byte consists of eight bits.
A computer using services provided by servers via the network.
A device, such as a computer or router, used as a "gateway" to access com-
puters on different LANs.
The acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The protocol is used
for a client computer on the TCP/IP network to load network configuration
automatically from a server. Just using a DHCP server to centrally manage IP
addresses of the DHCP clients enables you to construct a network without
IP address conflicts or other troubles.
The acronym for Domain Name System. DNS allows for obtaining the IP ad-
dress corresponding to a host name in network environments. This system
enables a user to access other computers on the network by specifying host
names instead of elusive and non-intuitive IP addresses.
The acronym for Dots Per Inch. A unit of resolution used for printers and
scanners. This indicates the number of dots used to represent an inch. The
higher this value, the higher the resolution.
Software that works as a bridge between a computer and a peripheral de-
vice.
A standard for LAN transmission lines.
A type of communication format used in NetWare environments. For mutual
communication, the same frame type is required.
The acronym for File Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol used for transfer-
ring files via the Internet, an intranet or other TCP/IP network.
Hardware and software used as the point where a network is connected to a
network. A gateway not only connects networks but also changes data for-
mats, addresses, and protocols according to the connected networks.
