Node
A device on a network that has an address and can send and/or receive data to and
from other devices on the network.
Packet
See Frame .
PCL
An acronym for P rinter C ontrol L anguage, which is used by Hewlett-Packard. This
is a set of commands that tell a printer how to print a document.
PCL5e
A Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language (PCL) that is the first version of PCL
to support bi-directional communication between printer and computer.
PCONSOLE
A NetWare utility that can be used to create, configure, monitor, and manage
queues in a NetWare server, and to attach print servers to the queues.
PDL
An acronym for P age- D escription L anguage. This refers to a programming
language, such as PostScript, that is used to describe output to a printer or a
display device, which then uses the instructions from the PDL to construct text and
graphics and create the required page image.
Peer-to-Peer
A network environment in which the nodes communicate directly with other nodes.
Windows for Workgroups, NetWare Lite, and Macintosh System 7 are examples of
peer-to-peer networking products.
Print driver
See Driver .
Protocol
The rules that control the transmitting and receiving of data.
Queue
A place where jobs are stored temporarily, while they are waiting to be processed.
A print queue will hold several print jobs. A printer that is attached to the print queue
will print the jobs one at a time.
RARP
An acronym for R everse A ddress R esolution P rotocol. This is a method for
providing IP Addresses to nodes on a network. When a node powers up, it
broadcasts a RARP packet containing its Ethernet Address. The RARP server
receives the packet and sends the IP Address back to the node.
Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol
See RARP.
RJ45
A connector used to connect a 10BaseT cable to a device.
Router
A device that directs network packets to the segment of the network for which the
packet is intended, and excludes packets that are not intended for a segment.
Routers reduce unnecessary network traffic and control access to segments of the
network.
SAP
An acronym for S erver A dvertising P rotocol. Nodes on a NetWare network
broadcast “SAP packets” at intervals to advertise their presence to other nodes.
Sequenced Packet
Exchange
See SPX.
