I
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used by computers and
devices to report errors encountered during processing packets, and to
perform other IP-layer functions, such as diagnostics ('ping').
The image is the binary executable of the embedded unit software. To
update the unit, you must download a new image file.
A unique numerical address of a computer attached to the Internet or
Intranet. An IP (Internet Protocol) address consists of a network part and
part for a host (computer) number. An IP address is represented by four
numbers in the range 0 - 255 separated by dots: for example, 10.0.10.1
and 172.21.43.214. See also subnet mask.
L
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of limited size to which
computers and devices can connect so that they can communicate with
each other.
A license file is used to enable certain features of the unit. The unit already
has a license file when it is shipped. When more features become
available, you can purchase a license file and download it to the unit to
enable these additional features.
M
Media Access Control.
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a globally unique network
device address, which is hardware bound. It is used to identify a network
device in a LAN. A MAC address is represented by six two-digit
hexadecimal numbers (0 - 9 and A - F) separated by colons: for example
00:02:2D:47:1F:71 and 00:D0:AB:00:01:AC.
Block A Management Information Block (MIB) is a formal description of a set of
network objects that can be managed with the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a management
application so that it knows the unit specific objects.
A standard interface between the MAC layer and any of the three physical
layers (100 Base-TX, 100 Base-T4, and 100 Base-FX) for Fast Ethernet,
similar to the AUI interface for traditional Ethernet.
