The Electronic Product Code is an electronically coded tag
that is intended as an improvement on the UPC bar code
system. The EPC is a 64- or 96-bit tag which contains a
number called the Global Trade Identification Number
(GTIN). Unlike a UPC number, which only provides
information specific to a group of products, the GTIN gives
each product its own specific identifying number, giving
greater accuracy in tracking. The EPC was the creation of
the MIT AutoID Center, a consortium of over 120 global
corporations and university labs. The EPC system is
currently managed by EPCGlobal Inc., a subsidiary of the
Electronic Article Numbering International group and the
Uniform Code Council (UCC), creators of the UPC bar code.
The EPC is used in the RFID system.
Electro-Static Discharge
Extended Service Set Identifier, defines the coverage area.
Prior to the release of the 802.11 specification the ESS_ID
was called the Net_ID or Network Identifier. For mobile
computers using Spectrum24 radios with the 802.11
protocol, an ESS_ID allows facilities to limit which Access
Points a mobile computer can communicate with. It is set
on the Network tab of the Control Panel. The mobile
computer can only communicate with Spectrum24 Access
Points that have matching ESS_IDs.
Ethernet communication port. Allows a wired interface to a
radio network.
An additional megabyte of non-volatile memory for storing
application and configuration files.
Flash memory is nonvolatile, semi-permanent storage that
can be electronically erased in the circuit and
reprogrammed. Series 9000 mobile computers use Flash
memory to store the operating system (ROM-DOS), the
mobile computer emulators, and the Citrix ICA Client for
DOS.
A TCP/IP application protocol governing file transfer via
network or telephone lines. See TCP/IP.
