HP MediaSmart Server User's Guide
HTTPS: A secure HTTP connection. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the format used to transfer
and send web page information across networks, on the Internet, and in help systems. HTTPS is an
HTTP connection over encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport mechanism. Also see
Protocol.
IP address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that uniquely identifies devices, such as
computers, on a network.
LAN: Local area network—a small number of computers that are connected together in a small area,
usually in the same building.
logical: A device, such as a partition named by the logic of a software system, regardless of its physical
relationship to the system. For example, a computer with a single physical hard disk that contains
two logical drives, C: and D:. Another example is an HP Media Vault with two hard drives that
contains a single logical volume spanning both drives.
Map: Assigning a drive letter to the connection on a computer to access a shared folder on the server.
Mbps: Megabits per second.
Media streaming: Media streaming sends media—music, photos and video files—from the HP
MediaSmart Server to other devices that can play the media. The HP MediaSmart Server includes
functionality that allows media to stream to a Digital Media Adapter (DMA). Also see DMR.
NAT: Network Address Translation—Broadband routers use NAT technology to allow network
components to share Internet access over a single IP address. Additionally, NAT acts like a
firewall because the computers and other devices—including the HP MediaSmart Server—on the
network are given IP address that are non-routable (non-internet addresses). This masks the real IP
addresses of your network components and keeps them from being seen outside the home. Also
see IP address.
partition: A logical division of a physical hard disk. Partition data refers to the information contained
within the divisions on the drive. For example, some computers are formatted with a C: and D:
drive, both of which use the same physical hard drive.
password hint: A password hint helps you remember your password. The password hint can be seen by
anybody who clicks the link to display it.
physical hard disk: The actual hard disk (hard drive) located in a device that stores files and data.
port 80: Usually, an HTTP client, such as a Web browser, initiates contact to a server, such as the HP
MediaSmart Server, through port 80. After contacting the server, the server sends back a response,
such as a Photo Webshare page.
Privilege level: A level assigned by the user that decides what access levels are available to other users.
Protocol: The standard(s) of how computers communicate data with each other.
