Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks) between
nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer
hypertext.
HTTPS is the secured version of the standard web browser protocol
HTTP. It secures communication between a web browser and a web
server through authentication of the web site and encrypting
communication between them. For example, you can use HTTPS to
secure web browser access to the web interface of many Equinox
Solution products.
See Resolution on page 104.
Kilobytes per second (KBps) measures the bitrate in kilobytes per
second, not kilobits, by dividing the number of kilobits by eight. Bitrate is
normally quoted as kilobits per second (kbps) and then converted to
kilobytes per second (KBps). Bitrate measures the throughput of data
communication between two devices.
Kilobits per second (kbps) is the standard unit to measure bitrate,
measuring the throughput of data communication between two devices.
Since this counts the number of individual bits (ones or zeros), you must
divide by eight to calculate the number of kilobytes per second (KBps).
LDAP is a widespread standard database format which stores network
users. The format is hierarchical, where nodes are often represented
asbranch location > department > sub-department, orexecutives >
managers > staff members. The database standard is employed by most
user directories including Microsoft Active Directory. H.350 is an
extension to the LDAP standard for the videoconferencing industry.
Lecture mode allows the participant defined as the lecturer to see all the
participants, while they see only the lecturer. All participants are muted
except the lecturer, unless a participant asks permission to speak and is
unmuted by the lecturer. This mode is tailored for distance learning, but
you can also use it for other purposes like when an executive addresses
employees during company-wide gatherings.
Legacy endpoints are H.323–based endpoints that do not support H.460.
A load balancer groups together a set (or cluster) of servers to give them
a single IP address, known as a virtual IP address. It distributes client
service requests amongst a group of servers. It distributes loads
according to different criteria such as bandwidth, CPU usage, or cyclic
(round robin). Load balancers are also known as application delivery
controllers (ADC).
A location is a physical space (building) or a network (subnet) where
video devices can share a single set of addresses. A distributed
