KBps
Kilobytes per second (KBps) measures the bitrate in kilobytes per second,
not kilobits, by dividing the number of kilobits by eight. Bitrate is normally
quoted as kilobits per second (kbps) and then converted to kilobytes per
second (KBps). Bitrate measures the throughput of data communication
between two devices.
kbps
Kilobits per second (kbps) is the standard unit to measure bitrate,
measuring the throughput of data communication between two devices.
Since this counts the number of individual bits (ones or zeros), you must
divide by eight to calculate the number of kilobytes per second (KBps).
LDAP
LDAP is a widespread standard database format which stores network
users. The format is hierarchical, where nodes are often represented
as
branch location > department > sub-department
, or
executives >
managers > staff members
. The database standard is employed by most
user directories including Microsoft Active Directory, IBM Sametime and
others. H.350 is an extension to the LDAP standard for the
videoconferencing industry.
Lecture Mode
Scopia
®
Desktop's lecture mode allows the participant defined as the
lecturer to see all the participants, while they see only the lecturer. All
participants are muted except the lecturer, unless a participant asks
permission to speak and is unmuted by the lecturer. This mode is tailored
for distance learning, but you can also use it for other purposes like when
an executive addresses employees during company-wide gatherings.
Load balancer
A load balancer groups together a set (or cluster) of servers to give them a
single IP address, known as a virtual IP address. It distributes client service
requests amongst a group of servers. It distributes loads according to
different criteria such as bandwidth, CPU usage, or cyclic (round robin).
Load balancers are also known as application delivery controllers (ADC).
Location
A location is a physical space (building) or a network (subnet) where video
devices can share a single set of addresses. A distributed deployment
places these components in different locations, often connected via a VPN.
Management
Management refers to the administration messages sent between
components of the Scopia

Solution as they manage and synchronize data
between them. Management also includes front-end browser interfaces
configuring server settings on the server. Management messages are
usually transmitted via protocols like HTTP, SNMP, FTP or XML. For
