Definition
A set specifications under the Ethernet standards. Uses cables consisting of pairs of
twisted copper wires. The transmission speed is 10 Mbps for 10Base-T, 100 Mbps
for 100Base-TX, and 1,000 Mbps for 1000Base-T.
A service that consolidates management of all information such as hardware re-
sources for servers, clients, and printers on a network supported by Microsoft and
the attributes and access permissions of the users.
®
Software developed by Adobe Systems Inc. (formerly developed by Macromedia,
Inc.), and used to create data combining vector-graphic animation and sound, and
the format of this data file. The bidirectional content can be manipulated using a key-
board and a mouse. The files can be kept relatively compact, and they can be ac-
cessed with the Web browser plug-in.
While normal FTP sites are protected by an account name and password, this type
of FTP site can be used by anyone without a password by simply entering "anony-
mous" as the account name.
Abbreviation for Authenticated Post Office Protocol. An authentication method with
encrypted passwords, which results in increased safety, as compared to the usual
unencrypted passwords used by POP to retrieve E-Mail messages.
A generic name for the protocol suite developed by Apple Computer for computer
networking.
A function for automatically acquiring the IP address. If acquisition of an IP address
failed with DHCP, an IP address is acquired from the address space of 169.254.0.0.
Abbreviation for Binary Digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity) on a
computer or printer. Represents data using 0 or 1.
Abbreviation for Bitmap. A file format for saving image data which uses the ".bmp"
extension. Commonly used on Windows platforms. You can specify the color depth
from monochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). Images are not usually
compressed when saved.
Macintosh network technology for automatically detecting devices connected to the
network and for specifying settings. Previously called "Rendezvous", the name was
changed to "Bonjour" starting with Mac OS X v10.4.
Unit of information (data quantity) on a computer or printer. Configured as 1 byte
equals 8 bits.
A computer that uses the services provided by a server through a network.
A compression method for reducing the data amount using the PDF format when
converting color documents to data.
The highest compression efficiency is achieved by identifying the text and image re-
gions and using the resolution and compression method most appropriate for each
region.
The compact PDF format can be selected when converting documents to data using
the scanning functions of this machine.
The difference in intensity between the light and dark parts of the image (light/dark
variation). An image with small light/dark variation has low contrast, and an image
with large light/dark variation has high contrast.
Abbreviation for Comma Separated Values. One of the formats for saving database
or spreadsheet data as a text file. (The file extension is ".csv".) The data, which is sep-
arated by commas (as the delimiter), can be shared by different applications.
The initial settings. The settings first selected when the machine is turned on, or the
settings first specified when the function is selected.
A device, such as a computer or router, used as a gateway to access computers not
on the same LAN.
An indication of the amount of darkness in the image.
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol in which a client
computer on a TCP/IP network automatically specifies the network settings from the
server. With collective management of the IP address for DHCP clients on the DHCP
server, you can avoid duplication of an address and you can build a network easily.
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the supported IP ad-
dresses from host names in a network environment. DNS allows the user to access
other computers over a network by specifying host names, instead of having to use
IP addresses that are difficult to remember and complicated.
