For terminals 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 terminal 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).
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.
A plug-in expansion card for laptop computers and other
devices, also called a PCMCIA card. PC Cards are 85.6mm
long x 54 mm wide, and have a 68 pin connector. There are
several different kinds:
Type I; 3.3 mm high; use - RAM or Flash RAM
Type II; 5 mm high; use - modems, LAN adaptors
Type III; 10.5 high; use - Hard Disks
Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association.

Portable Data Terminal.
The average probability that a single scan of a bar code
would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar
code scanning system, that probability should approach
near 100%.
(Packet Internet Groper) An Internet utility used to
determine whether a particular IP address is online. It is
used to test and debug a network by sending out a packet
and waiting for a response.
