A terminal with a monitor and connections on the back for a keyboard and
mouse.
A shared boundary defined by common physical interconnection
characteristics, signal characteristics, and meaning of interchanged signals.
The Internet is a global web of interconnected computers and computer
networks that are interconnected under a common set of network protocols
that allows them to function as a single large network (see TCP/IP).
Internet Protocol Address. The 32-bit, 4-byte address assigned to machines
using the Internet with TCP/IP. It is usually represented in dotted decimal
notation. Provides interconnectivity among a variety of independent host
systems.
Integrated Services Digital Network. Evolving switched network standard
that provides end-to-end digital voice and data communication services.
1,024 bits. Commonly referred to as 1 thousand bits.
1,024 bytes. Commonly referred to as 1 thousand bytes.
Kilobits per second. An abbreviation meaning thousands of bits per second.
A management add-on to Citrix WinFrame and MetaFrame servers that
allows administrators to group multiple WinFrame and/or MetaFrame
servers into scalable "server farms" to deliver the best application
performance and server resource utilization.
1,048,576 bits. Commonly referred to as 1 million bits.
Megabits per second.
The world's first Server-based Computing software for Microsoft Windows
NT 4.0 Server, Terminal Server Edition multi-user software (co-developed by
Citrix).
Management Information Base. A database of managed objects accessed
by network management protocols.
(Mo)dulator/(dem)odulator. Data communication equipment (DCE) devices
that provide connections for computers into the public switched telephone
network (PSTN). They convert (modulate) the digital signals of computers
into analog signals that can be transmitted over telephone lines. A modem at
the other end of the link then demodulates the signals back to digital bits.
Desktop client that works with existing standard monitors.
An interconnected group of nodes; a series of points, nodes, or stations
connected by communications channels; the assembly of equipment
through which connections are made between data stations.
A cable, especially an RS-232 cable, for connecting serial ports on two
computers directly, rather than via modems. Since, according to the
specification, both computers should transmit on pin three of their RS-232
connectors and receive on pin two, a null modem cable needs to connect
one computer's pin two to the other's pin three and vice versa. It also needs
to have male connectors at both ends (again, according to the specification).
