TCP
A logical printer acts as a filter between the network and the physical
printer. It appears to the user as a normal printer with additional
characteristics. For example a UNIX workstation may only send a line
feed (LF) to a shared printer that needs carriage return (CR) and LF.
The logical printer can solve this problem by adding a CR.
Management Information Base. A database of network configuration
information used by SNMP and CMIP to monitor or change network
settings.
NetWare Core Protocol. Network clients use the NCP to request
services of servers, and servers use NCP to provide services, such as file
and print services.
NetWare Directory Services. A hierarchical data base that manages
NetWare network resources such as servers and volumes.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for
downloading IP addresses in UNIX networks. It requires a RARP
daemon on your system, and only operates within a single network
segment. A request made to an active RARP daemon initiates a search
of the Ethernet Address Table for an entry matching the print server's
Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon downloads
the IP address to the print server.
Reduced Instruction Set Computing. A processor that recognizes only
a limited number of assembly-language instructions.
Service Advertising Protocol. A NetWare network name advertising
service that e.g. file servers can use for advertising their existence to
network clients.
Simple Network Management Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol for
managing and monitoring nodes on a network.
Transmission Control Protocol. The connection-oriented, transport-
level protocol used in the TCP/IP suite of protocols.
