folder duplication: Folder duplication duplicates folders and files across multiple hard
drives. If you enable folder duplication and one hard drive fails, you will not lose
any files stored in a shared folder. Any folder that has folder duplication enabled
uses twice the amount of server storage.
HTTPS: A secure HTTP connection. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the format
used to transfer and send web page information across networks, on the Internet,
and in help systems. HTTPS is an HTTP connection over encrypted Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) transport mechanism. Also see Protocol.
IP address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that uniquely identifies
devices, such as computers, on a network.
LAN: Local area network—a small number of computers that are connected together in a
small area, usually in the same building.
logical: A device, such as a partition named by the logic of a software system, regardless
of its physical relationship to the system. For example, a computer with a single
physical hard disk that contains two logical drives, C: and D:. Another example is
an HP Media Vault with two hard drives that contains a single logical volume
spanning both drives.
Map: Assigning a drive letter to the connection on a computer to access a shared folder
on the server.
Mbps: Megabits per second.
Media streaming: Media streaming sends media—music, photos and video files—from
the HP MediaSmart Server to other devices that can play the media. The HP
MediaSmart Server includes functionality that allows media to stream to a Digital
Media Adapter (DMA). Also see DMR.
NAT: Network Address Translation—Broadband routers use NAT technology to allow
network components to share Internet access over a single IP address.
Additionally, NAT acts like a firewall because the computers and other devices—
including the HP MediaSmart Server—on the network are given IP address that
are non-routable (non-internet addresses). This masks the real IP addresses of
