NEO 200s/400s User Guide
Standalone
A network bonding mode which treats each port as a separate interface. This configuration
should be used only in multihomed environments in which network storage resources must
reside on two separate subnets.
Static IP Address
An IP address defined by the system administrator rather than by an automated system,
such as DHCP.
Storage Area Network
See SAN.
Subnet Mask
A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks,
subnets are all devices with IP addresses that have the same prefix.
Tape Cartridge
A magnetically coated strip of plastic in a plastic housing on which data can be encoded.
Storing data on tapes is considerably cheaper than storing data on disks. Tapes also have
large storage capacities, ranging from a few hundred kilobytes to several gigabytes. They
are generally used for long-term storage and backup, or for transporting large amounts of
data. Tapes come in a variety of sizes and formats.
Tape Drive
A device, that reads data from and writes it onto a tape.
Target
A target is a device (peripheral) that responds to an operation requested by an initiator
(host system). Although peripherals are generally targets, a peripheral may be required to
act temporarily as an initiator for some commands (for example, SCSI COPY command).
Targets are embedded in iSCSI storage controllers. They are the software that makes the
RAID storage available to host computers, making it appear just like any other sort of disk
drive.
TCP/IP
Short for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The basic protocol used for data
transmission over the Internet.
Telco
Short for Telephone Company. When used in reference to a rack, it refers to the two-posted,
light-weight rack for center-mounted appliances.
Telnet
A terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. The Telnet
program runs on a computer and connects it to a server on the network. You enter
commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering
them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate
with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by
entering a valid user name and password. Telnet is a common way to remotely control Web
servers.
