DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is available in
Windows NT, NetWare 5 and UNIX systems, and allows for the
automatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses from a central
pool. DHCP causes the selected host to automatically allocate and
download an unused IP address to the requesting print server. It also
provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will
remain valid.
To fully benefit from this method, the AXIS 1620 also supports the
WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available in Windows
NT networks.
DNS Domain Name Service. Reflects the server names and addresses within
a network.
Flash Memory The print server software is stored in Flash Memory. The Flash Memory
is a Non-volatile RAM that retains data contents even after power is
removed. As the memory allows its data to be erased and re-written,
you can install software updates for your server as soon as they become
available, without having to replace any parts. The new software is simply
loaded into the server over the network.
Flash Memory also contains a Safe Flash mechanism which eliminates
the risk of corrupting the Flash Memories if a firmware upgrade fails.
FTP File Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for logging in to
network servers and for transferring files.
HTML Hypertext Markup Language. A standard hypertext language used for
creating World Wide Web pages and other hypertext documents.
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The TCP/IP protocol for Web based
communication.
IP Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP session-layer protocol that regulates
packet forwarding by tracking IP addresses, routing outgoing messages
and recognizing incoming messages.
