Host Name
Name of a device on the network.
HTTP
Abbreviation of HyperText Transfer Protocol. A protocol used to transmit or receive
data between a web server and client (web browser, etc.). Files of image, voice,
animation, etc. correlated with the document can be exchanged including the ex-
pression form and other information.
Install
To incorporate the hardware, OS, application, printer driver, etc. to a computer sys-
tem.
IP Address
A code (address) to identify individual network devices on the Internet. IPv4 (Inter-
net 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 gener-
ation protocol, adopts 128-bit IP addresses. An IP address is allocated to all com-
puters and other devices connected to the Internet.
IPP
The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or re-
ceive print data or control printers via the Internet or other TCP/IP network. IPP can
also send and print data to printers in remote areas via the Internet.
IPX
One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer of the OSI ref-
erence model.
IPX/SPX
The abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.
This is a protocol developed by Novell, Inc., typically used in NetWare environ-
ments.
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-independent printer proto-
col 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 meth-
od 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 net-
work.
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 receiving 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
Unit to save 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 perfor-
mance printing solution in NDS environments. Using NDPS for the print server sim-
plifies 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 management
related to the network printers.
NDS
The acronym for Novell Directory Services. This allows the centralized 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 users.
NetBEUI
The abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. This is a network protocol
developed by IBM. NetBEUI enables you to construct a small-scale network simply
by configuring computer names.
NetBIOS
Abbreviation of Network Basic Input Output System. This is a communication inter-
face developed by IBM.
NetWare
A network operating system developed by Novell. This uses NetWare IPX/SPX for
the communication protocol.
Nprinter/
Rprinter
A remote printer support module used when using a printer server in NetWare en-
vironments. Rprinter is used for NetWare 3.x, and Nprinter for NetWare 4.x.
