NEO 200s/400s User Guide
SCSI device
A SCSI device is a single unit on a SCSI bus that originates or services SCSI commands. A
SCSI device is identified by a unique SCSI address. SCSI devices can act as initiators or
targets.
SCSI port
A SCSI port is an opening at the back of a router that provides connection between the SCSI
adapter and SCSI bus.
Serial Number
The ten-character alphanumeric number assigned by the manufacturer at the factory.
Session
When an initiator wants to establish a connection with a target, it establishes what is
known as an iSCSI session. A session consists of one or more TCP/IP connections between
an initiator and a target. Sessions are normally established (or re-established)
automatically when the host computer starts up, although they also can be established (and
broken) manually.
SMB
Short for Server Message Block. A protocol for Windows clients. SMB uses the TCP/IP
protocol. It is viewed as a complement to the existing Internet application protocols such as
FTP and HTTP. With SMB, you can access local server files, obtain read-write privileges to
local server files, share files with other clients, and restore connections automatically if the
network fails.
SMS
Short for Short Message Service. Is a means of sending short text messages to a mobile
phone.
SMTP
Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for sending and receiving
email.
SNMP
Short for Simple Network Management Protocol. A system to monitor and manage network
devices such as computers, routers, bridges, and hubs. SNMP views a network as a
collection of cooperating, communicating devices, consisting of managers and agents.
SSH
Short for Secure Shell. A service that provides a remote console for special system
administration and customer support access to the server. SSH is similar to telnet but more
secure, providing strong encryption so that no passwords cross the network in clear text.
SSL
Short for Secure Sockets Layer. A protocol for managing the security of a message sent on
the Internet. It is a type of technology that provides data encryption, server authentication,
message integrity, and client authentication for any TCP/IP connection.
