Socket
A bidirectional pipe for incoming and outgoing data that allows an application program to access
the TCP/IP protocols.
Source Volume
The CD/DVD volume that supplies attributes to a Target Volume. (Typically, an exchange of
attributes from one CD volume in a subscription series to an-other.)
Static IP
Generally, an IP address is assigned to a system in one of two ways. When the system logs in to
the network, the IP address can be assigned dynamically at that time from a matrix of
addresses, or the system can be assigned a permanent IP address that does not change. VR-
N100U’ Static IP Networks Utility provides the potential to set up permanent address
assignments.
Subnet A subdivision of a TCP/IP network, typically bounded by packet routers.
Subnet Mask
A part of the IP address that distinguishes computers on the same LAN from computers in other
departments, companies, or elsewhere in the world. Your subnet mask tells the server that any
other computer that matches the first three digits of your IP address is on the same LAN you are
on, so messages from them can be sent directly to you and do not have to go through the LAN
router.
Subscription Series
A series of CD/DVD volumes whose contents are periodically updated. For example, CD/DVs in
the West Law Reference Library subscription series are regularly updated to include new court
decisions.
Target Volume
The CD/DVD volume that inherits attributes from a Source volume. (Typically, an exchange of
attributes from one CD/DVD volume in a subscription series to an-other.)
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol - TCP is a connection-based protocol that provides reliable, full
duplex transmission between a pair of applications. It is part of the TCP/IP suite of Internet
protocols.
TCP/IP
The very heart of the Internet, TCP/IP is the system that networks use to communicate with each
other on the Internet. It stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, and it works
regardless of computer platform. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a combined
set of protocols that performs the transfer of data between two computers. TCP monitors and
ensures the correct transfer of data, retransmitting until the data is correctly and completely
received. IP receives the data from TCP, breaks it up into packets, and ships it off to a network
within the Internet. TCP/IP is also used as a name for a protocol suite that incorporates these
functions and others.
Termination
The process in which a resistor network or cable connector is placed at the end of a SCSI bus to
force bus signals to the inactive state when not driven by an attached device.
Thin Server
A network server that is designed to perform a specific task, such as sharing a CD/DVD-ROM
library. See also Appliance-class Server.
TID
Target ID - The SCSI ID assigned to an attached SCSI device. The possible ID numbers range
from 0 to 6. A total of seven SCSI devices can be attached to a VR-N100U. VR-N100U uses TID
7.
Type
Type describes the kind of device being referenced, e.g., IDE Hard Drive, SCSI CD-ROM Drive,
etc.
UID Conversion
A process in which the User IDs of NFS clients are mapped to the User IDs of VR-N100U users
registered in the Users List. The mapped NFS clients are authenticated as the VR-N100U users
and assume the identities, rights and privileges of the users to whom they have been mapped.
UNC
Universal Naming Convention - (Also called Uniform Naming Convention) A convention for U
specifying directories, servers, and other resources on a network, using two slashes // or
backslashes \\ to indicate the name of the computer, and one slash to indicate the path or
directory levels within the computer. It displays this format: //computer/directory.
Upload The process of transferring data from your local computer to a remote location via a network
