DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is available in
Windows NT, NetWare 5 and UNIX systems, and allows for the
automatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses from a central
pool. DHCP causes the selected host to automatically allocate and
download an unused IP address to the requesting print server. It also
provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will
remain valid.
To fully benefit from this method, the AXIS 5600 also supports the
WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available in Windows
NT networks.
DNS Domain Name Service. Reflects the server names and addresses within
a network.
Flash Memory The print server software is stored in Flash Memory. This memory is
provided by a silicon chip that like any other ROM device, retains
data content even after power is removed. However, Flash Memory is
unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written. This
means that you can install software updates for your
server as soon as
they become available, without having to replace any parts. The new
software is simply loaded into the server over the network.
FTP File Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for logging in to
network servers and for transferring files.
HTML Hypertext Markup Language. A standard hypertext language used for
creating World Wide Web pages and other hypertext documents.
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The TCP/IP protocol for Web based
communication.
IP Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP session-layer protocol that regulates
packet forwarding by tracking IP addresses, routing outgoing messages
and recognizing incoming messages.
