IC-601 9-3
9.1 Glossary 9
Gateway Hardware or software serving as a point connecting networks. A gateway not only
connects networks but also changes data formats, addresses, and protocols ac-
cording to the connected networks.
Gray Scale A form of presenting monochrome image by using the gradation information shift-
ing from black to white.
Hard disk Mass storage device to save data.
The data is retained even after the power is turned off.
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 install hardware, operating systems, applications, printer drivers, or other soft-
ware on to a computer.
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 pro-
tocol 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 perform-
ance 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.
