Parameter
For mobile computers using Spectrum24 radios with the
Spring protocol, a NetID 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 NetIDs. Also see ESS_ID.
The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified
parameter. Tolerances are specified as positive and
negative deviations from this value.
Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes
are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to
2.00 of nominal).
An RS-232 cable used to connect two personal computers
together in close proximity for file transfer. It attaches to
the serial ports of both machines and simulates what would
occur naturally if modems and the phone system were
used. It crosses the sending wire with the receiving wire.
Non-Volatile Memory.
See Open Data-Link Interface.
Novell's driver specification for an interface between
network hardware and higher-level protocols. It supports
multiple protocols on a single NIC (Network Interface
Controller). It is capable of understanding and translating
any network information or request sent by any other ODI-
compatible protocol into something a NetWare client can
understand and process.
Open System authentication is a null authentication
algorithm.
Personal area network. Using Bluetooth wireless
technology, PANs enable devices to communicate
wirelessly. Generally, a wireless PAN consists of a dynamic
group of less than 255 devices that communicate within
about a 33-foot range. Only devices within this limited area
typically participate in the network.
A variable that can have different values assigned to it.
