12.2 Glossary 12
IPP The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. which is 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 remote areas via the Internet.
IPsec The name of a security technology used for the TCP/IP network. IPsec allows
service with enhanced security by determining the protocol used for the en-
cryption of transmit packets and for authentication.
IPv6 The acronym for Internet Protocol version 6. With the number of devices on
the Internet increasing, the IPv6 protocol has been arranged to replace the
current IPv4 protocol. 128-bit IP addressing system and expanded security
features.
IPX One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer of the
OSI reference model.
Java A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems that runs on most
computers regardless of the installed hardware and operating system. How-
ever, in order to run Java applications, an operating environment called Java
Virtual Machine (Java VM) is required.
Kerberos A network authentication system used for Windows 2000 or later, used as the
Active Directory authentication. Kerberos arranges an authentic site within
the network to provide two-phase authentication processes of users login
and the use of network resources, allowing users to be securely and efficient-
ly authenticated.
LAN The acronym for Local Area Network. This is a network constructed by con-
necting computers on the same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring
buildings.
LDAP The acronym for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, a protocol used to
access a database that can manage E-mail addresses and environmental in-
formation of network users on the Internet, intranet, or other TCP/IP network.
LPD The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independent printer
protocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol was originally devel-
oped 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 receiving data to
or from other Ethernet cards. A Mac address consists of 48-bit numbers.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.
MH The acronym for Modified Huffman, which is a data compression encoding
method used for fax transmissions. Text-based originals are compressed to
approximately 1/10 the original size.
MIB The acronym for Management Information Base, which defines the format of
management information for network devices that are collected using SNMP
in TCP/IP communication. Two types of MIB are provided, that is, the private
MIB specific to each manufacturer and the standardized MIB.
MMR The acronym for Modified Modified Read, which is a data compression en-
coding method used for fax transmissions. Text-based originals are com-
pressed to approximately 1/20 the original size.
NetBEUI The abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. This is a network pro-
tocol developed by IBM. NetBEUI enables you to construct a small-scale
network simply by configuring computer names.
NetWare A network operating system developed by Novell. This uses NetWare
IPX/SPX for the communication protocol.
