Definition
A type of network authentication system used by Windows 2000 or later. Used in Ac-
tive Directory authentication. Users can be safely and efficiently authenticated with a
two-phase authentication (user logon and network resource usage) on a dependable
site set up on the network.
Abbreviation for Local Area Network. A network which connects computers on the
same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring buildings.
Abbreviation for Line Printer Daemon. A printer protocol that uses TCP/IP and is plat-
form-independent. Originally developed for BSD UNIX, it has become the standard
printing protocol and can be used with any general computer.
Abbreviation for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. A printing method over a
network in a Windows NT system or UNIX system. Using TCP/IP, you can output
print data from Windows or Unix to a printer over a network.
Abbreviation for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. On a TCP/ IP network, such
as the Internet or an intranet, this protocol is used to access a database for managing
environment information and the E-Mail addresses of network users.
Abbreviation for Media Access Control address. With a special ID number for each
Ethernet card, data can be sent and received between the cards. A number consists
of 48 bits. The first 24 bits consist of a special number for each manufacture control-
ling and assigning IEEE. The last 24 bits consist of a number that the manufacturer
assigns uniquely to the card.
Storage device for storing data temporally. When the power is turned off the data
may or may not be erased.
Abbreviation for Modified Huffman. A data compression encoding method for fax
transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/10
their original size.
Abbreviation for Management Information Base. In a TCP/IP transmission, this uses
SNMP to define the management information format for a group of network devices.
There are two formats: the manufacturer-specific private MIB and the standardized
MIB.
Abbreviation for Modified Modified Read. A data compression encoding method for
fax transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/20
their original size.
Abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. A network protocol developed by
IBM. By simply specifying the computer name, you can build a small-scale network.
Network operating system developed by Novell. NetWare IPX/SPX is used as the
communication protocol.
Abbreviation for NT LAN Manager. User authentication method used by Windows NT
or later. With the MD4 and MD5 encoding methods, passwords are encoded.
Abbreviation for Network Time Protocol. The protocol for correctly adjusting the in-
ternal clock of the computer over the network. In a hierarchical method, the time is
adjusted with the server at the highest level using GPS to acquire the correct time,
which is then referenced by each lower level host.
Abbreviation for Optical Character Reader. A device or software that converts hand-
written or printed documents to text data by optically scanning it, comparing it with
a previously stored pattern, and identifying the characters.
Abbreviation for Operating System. Basic software for controlling the system of a
computer. Windows, MacOS, and Unix are Operating Systems.
Abbreviation for PASsiVe. A mode for connecting to an FTP server from within a fire-
wall. If this mode is not specified, the firewall will be considered inaccessible and the
connection will be terminated, preventing the file from being sent.
Abbreviation for Portable Document Format. An electronically formatted document
which uses the ".pdf" extension. Based on the Post-Script format, you can use the
free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view documents.
A network format that allows connected devices to communicate without using a
dedicated server.
An image pixel. The smallest-unit element composing an image.
Abbreviation for Post Office Protocol. A protocol for retrieving E-Mail messages from
a mail server. Currently, POP3 (the third version of POP) is most often used.
A user authentication method for sending E-Mail messages. First, the reception op-
eration is performed and the user is authenticated by the POP server. Then, IP ad-
dresses where the user was successfully authenticated by the POP server are
permitted to use the SMTP server. This method prevents third parties without per-
mission to use the mail server from sending mail messages.
