6.1
Hard disk A large capacity storage device for storing data. The data is retained
even after the power is turned off.
Host name The name used to identify a device on a network.
HTTP The acronym for HyperText Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol
used to send or receive data between a Web server and a client
(such as a Web browser). HTTP can exchange files such as images,
sounds, and movies that are associated with documents, including
their presentation formats and other information.
Install To install hardware, operating systems, applications, printer drivers,
or other software on to a computer.
IP Address An address or a code used to identify an individual network device
on the Internet. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), a protocol widely
used today, adopts a 32-bit number for an IP address separated into
four sections. An example of an IPv4 IP address is: 192.168.1.10. On
the other hand, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), the next genera-
tion protocol, adopts 128-bit IP addresses. An IP address is as-
signed to every computer or other device connected to the Internet.
IPP The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to
send or receive print data or control printers via the Internet or other
TCP/IP network. IPP can also send and print data to printers in re-
mote areas via the Internet.
IPX One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer
of the OSI reference model.
IPX/SPX The abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced
Packet Exchange. This is a protocol developed by Novel, Inc., typi-
cally used in NetWare environments.
LAN The acronym for Local Area Network. This is a network constructed
by connecting computers on the same floor, in the same building, or
in neighboring buildings.
Local printer A printer connected to a parallel or USB port of a computer.
LPD The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independ-
ent printer protocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol
was originally developed for BSD UNIX, and has become one of the
printing protocols typically used among general computers.
LPR/LPD The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a
printing method implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or
UNIX based systems. It uses TCP/IP to output printing data from
Windows or UNIX to a printer on the network.
MAC address MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an
ID number unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiv-
ing data to or from other Ethernet cards. A Mac address is a 48-bit
number. The first 24 bits are controlled by IEEE and used to allocate
a unique number to each manufacture, whereas the latter 24 bits are
used by each manufacturer to assign a unique number to each card.
Memory A storage device used for storing data temporarily. Some types of
memory retain data even after the power is turned off, while others
not.
NDPS The acronym for Novell Distributed Print Services. This provides a
high performance printing solution in NDS environments. Using
NDPS for the print server simplifies and automates complicated
management activities related to printer use. For example, you can
print to a desired printer or automatically download the printer driver
for a newly installed printer. NDPS print servers also integrate man-
agement related to the network printers.
NDS The acronym for Novell Directory Services. This allows the central-
ized management in a hierarchical structure of shared resources
such as servers, printers and users information on the network, as
well as the access privilege and other information related to the us-
ers.
