Page 459 GL-9 Glossary Hard Reset See Cold Boot. Hopping Sequence A set of random frequencies designed to minimize interference with other sets of random frequencies. A hopping sequence determines the pattern with which a station that uses frequency hopping changes its communications frequency.
Page 460 ® GL-10 MC9000-G with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG Intercharacter Gap The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete code. Interleaved Bar Code A bar code in which characters are paired together, using bars to represent the first character and the intervening spaces to represent the second.
Page 461 GL-11 Glossary Kerberos Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is available from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos is available in many commercial products as well. A key is the specific code used by the algorithm to encrypt or decrypt the data.

Quiet Zone A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character. QWERTY A standard keyboard commonly used on North American and some European PC keyboards.
Page 465 Software Development Kit Self-Checking Code A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol. Shared Key Shared Key authentication is an algorithm where both the AP and the MU share an authentication key.
Page 466 Symbol Length Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
Page 467 GL-17 Glossary TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is received correctly at the other end.
