DHCP
Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, DHCP is a
protocol used to assign an IP address to a device
connected to a Network.
DOS
Microsoft DOS (Disk Operating System) is a command line
user interface. MS-DOS 1.0 was released in 1981 for IBM
computers. While MS-DOS is not used commonly today, it
still can be accessed from Windows 95, XP, Windows 98
or Windows NT by clicking Start / Run and typing
command or CMD in Windows 2000.
IP
Short for Internet Protocol, the IP is an address of a
computer or other network device on a network using IP
or TCP/IP. Every device on an IP-based network requires
an IP address to identify its location or address on the
network.
Example: 192.168.2.10
IPzator
Barix IPzator™ technology is designed for the purpose that
the Barix Exstreamer can create its own IP address
according to the network structure in case it can’t receive
one from your network. If DHCP, AUTOIP or BOOTP fail,
IPzator will create an IP address within the subnet and test
it. If the address works and is not being used by another
device on the network, it will give the address to the Barix
Exstreamer.
MAC address
Abbreviation for Medium Access Control, a MAC is a
unique address number formatted in hexadecimal format
and given to each computer and/or network device on a
computer network. Because a MAC address is a unique
address a computer network will not have the same MAC
address assigned to more than one computer or network
device.
Example: A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6
Netmask
A number used to identify a sub network so that an IP
address can be shared on a LAN (Local Area Network).
A mask is used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to. An IP address has two components, the
network address and the host address. For example,
consider the IP address 150.215.17.009. Assuming this is
part of a Class B network, the first two numbers (150.2)
represent the Class B network address, and the second
two numbers (.017.009) identify a particular host on this
network. The Netmask would then be 255.255.0.0
Ping
Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify that a
particular IP address exists and can accept requests.
Example: ping 192.168.2.10
SonicIP
Barix SonicIP® technology is designed to vocally announce
the Barix Exstreamer´s current IP address. This makes it
easier and faster to obtain the necessary network
information. To make use of SonicIP plug in the included
earphone into RCA audio out, connect the network and
plug in the power supply. It will announce the address over
the earphones right after power up.
Static IP
A Static IP is a fixed IP address that you assign manually
to a device on the network. It remains valid until you
disable it.
Telnet
Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP
protocol for accessing remote computers. On the Web,
HTTP and FTP protocols allow you to request specific files
from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on
as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a
regular user with whatever privileges you may have been
granted to the specific application and data on that
computer.
Example: telnet 192.168.2.10
