Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass
plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical
charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to
their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively
quickly. They require external light to reflect their
information to the user.
Light Emitting Diode See LED.
MAC Address (also called IEEE Address) Spectrum24
®
devices, like other Ethernet devices, have
unique, hardware-encoded MAC (also called IEEE
addresses). MAC addresses determine the device sending
or receiving data. The MAC address is a 48-bit number
written as six hexadecimal bytes separated by colons.
MC Mobile Computer.
MIL 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch.
Misread (Misdecode) A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader
or interface controller does not agree with the data
encoded within a bar code symbol.
Mobile Computer In this text, mobile computer refers to the Symbol Series
9000 wireless portable computer. It can be set up to run
as a stand-alone device, or it can be set up to communicate
with a network, using wireless radio technology.
NCU Network Control Unit.
NetBeui A non-routable LAN protocol that is an extension to
NetBIOS. Used for IBM’s OS/2-based LAN Manager and
Microsoft’s LAN Manager and Windows for Workgroups.
NetID For terminals using Spectrum24 radios with the Spring
protocol, a NetID allows facilities to limit which Access
Points a mobile computer can communicate with. It is set
on the Network tab of the Control Panel. The terminal can
only communicate with Spectrum24 Access Points that
have matching NetIDs. Also see ESS_ID.
Nominal The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified
parameter. Tolerances are specified as positive and
negative deviations from this value.
Nominal Size Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes
are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to
2.00 of nominal).
