 Management Utility (FMU)

SSID

Secure Set Identifier (32-character unique Identifier) — a sequence of characters that 
uniquely names a wireless local area network (WLAN). This name allows workstations to 
connect to the desired network when multiple independent networks operate in the same 
physical area. 

Start 

Start ( 

 ) 

opens the Start menu. The Start menu contains a list of the available appli-

cations, applets, and utilities on the device.

Subnet Mask

Number used to identify a subnetwork so that an IP address can be shared on a Local 
Area Network (LAN). 

Symbology

A symbology is a protocol for arranging the bars and spaces that make up a particular 
kind of bar code. A bar code is made up of numbers, letters, and computer-recognized 
characters that can be represented in a combination of bars and spaces. There are cur-
rently over 400 bar code symbologies that serve different uses, industries, or geographic 
needs.

Terminal

An individual unit attached to an FMU network.

Tracert

Trace Route. A utility/command to determine TCP/IP packet routing. 

Tree View 

The list of items that appear in the left pane of the FMU Console.

UI

User Interface.

Uniform Resource 
Locator (URL)

The address of a resource on the Internet. URL syntax is in the form protocol://host/
localinfo, where protocol specifies the means of returning the object, such as HTTP or 
FTP. Host specifies the remote location where the object resides and localinfo is a string, 
often a file name, passed to the protocol handler at the remote location. Also called a Uni-
form Resource Identifier.

USB 

Universal Serial Bus is a hardware standard for connecting PCs with peripheral devices, 
including PDTs, PDAs, mobile computers, cameras, printers, mice, scanners, etc.

Web Server

The web server can perform several different actions, including generating a web page 
containing statistics relating to performance of the mobile computer and creating an inter-
face for interaction with the terminal to configure system behavior.
