Subnetwork
A subnetwork is a network that is part of a larger IP network and is identified by a subnet
address. Networks can be segmented into subnetworks to provide a hierarchical, multilevel
routing structure.
Switcher slaving
This is an old term sometimes used to indicate that a device such as the MLC or a main
switcher unit is being used to control one or more AV switchers.
Switching rotation
Switching rotation is another term for the set of buttons that are controlled by the firmware.
This is a mutually exclusive set of buttons controlled by firmware (not scripts) that causes
an input switching SIS command (1!, 2!, 3!, and so forth) to be sent via the MLS port when
each button is pressed. In Global Configurator, setting a button for input button mode is the
same as designating that button as part of the switching rotation.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol defined at the Transport layer of the OSI reference
model. It provides reliable delivery of data.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP is the communication protocol of the Internet. Computers and devices with direct
access to the Internet are provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program to allow them to
send and receive information in an understandable form.
Telnet
Telnet is a standard terminal emulation utility or protocol that allows a computer to
communicate with a remote user/client. A user who wishes to access a remote system
initiates a Telnet session using the address of the remote client. The user may be prompted
to provide a user name and password if the client is set up to require them. Telnet enables
users to log in on remote networks and use those resources as if they were locally
connected.
Tool tip
A tool tip is text that appears when the mouse pointer hovers over a button or other item on
screen.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
UDP is an Internet protocol for sending short packets of information quickly between
networked devices. It is faster than TCP and is often used for broadcast and multicast
communication, but it does not include data verification to ensure that all packets arrived at
their destination.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
A URL is the address (such as www.extron.com) that lets a resource on the internet be
identified, located, and accessed.
Verbose
Verbose refers to a wordy way of speaking. For the MLC and other IP-enabled products,
verbose mode is a communication mode in which the device responds with more
information than it usually would–more than the device, itself, needs to send. For
detailed information, see the
on page 88 in the “SIS
Programming and Control” section. Verbose mode is usually enabled for troubleshooting
and disabled for daily use. Verbose mode creates more network traffic than usual and can
slow down performance.
