Xerox WorkCentre 4118 System Administration Guide
A network environment in which the nodes communicate directly with other nodes.
Windows for Workgroups, NetWare Lite, and Macintosh System 7 are examples
of peer-to-peer networking products.
See Driver.
The rules that control the transmitting and receiving of data.
A place where jobs are stored temporarily, while they are waiting to be processed.
A print queue will hold several print jobs. A printer that is attached to the print
queue will print the jobs one at a time.
A connector used to connect a 10BaseT cable to a device.
A device that directs network packets to the segment of the network for which the
packet is intended, and excludes packets that are not intended for a segment.
Routers reduce unnecessary network traffic and control access to segments of
the network.
An acronym for Server Advertising Protocol. Nodes on a NetWare network
broadcast "SAP packets" at intervals to advertise their presence to other nodes.
See SAP.
There are approximately 4.3 billion different addresses in the IP Address range of
000.000.000.000 to 255.255.255.255. These addresses can be divided into
smaller, and much more manageable subnetworks, or subnets. The Subnet Mask
identifies which part of the IP Address contains the Subnet Address and which
part contains the host (or device) address.
An acronym for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is a set
of communications protocols that is supported by a variety of computer platforms.
TCP controls the data transfer and IP controls the routing of the data. The IP
Address is a unique address that identifies a device in a network. The IP Address
has to be set in the WorkCentre 4118 by the System Administrator. The IP
Address consists of four bytes of information and is expressed as decimal
numbers with the bytes separated by dots.
(Example: 13.1.188.2)
See 10BaseT.
An acronym for Wide Area Network. This is a network that serves a relatively
large area, such as buildings in different cities and requires telecommunications
services to reach all the nodes. See also LAN.
See WAN.
