additional functionality, such as the ability to filter messages and forward them
to different places based on various criteria.

second-level threshold
The value used in display thresholds that represents the highest value of the
normal range for a given statistic.
security identifier
The remote unit sends the branch office security identifier (password) to the
RLC for each connection request. The RLC matches the identifier configured for
the RLC port. When it finds a match, it grants access to the port and allows the
call to proceed.
sequenced packet exchange
A transport layer protocol (layer 4 of the OSI Model) used in Novell Netware
networks. The SPX layer sits on top of the IPX layer (layer 3) and provides
connection-oriented services between two nodes on the network. SPX is used
primarily by client/server applications.

serial port

A general-purpose interface that can be used for almost any type of device,
including modems, mice, and printers (although most printers are connected to a
parallel port). Most serial ports on personal computers conform to the RS-232C
or RS-422 standards.
server
A computer or device on a network that manages network resources. Examples
of servers include file servers, print servers, network servers, and database
servers.
