Milestone Husky M30/M50 Administrator's Manual
www.milestonesys.com 203 Glossary of Terms
A file extension (.scs) for a script type targeted
at controlling clients.
SDK
Software Development Kit —programming
package enabling software developers to
create applications for use with a specific
platform.
SIM
Subscriber identity module —circuit stored on a
small card inserted into a mobile phone or
computer, or other mobile device. The SIM
card is used to identify and authenticate the
user.
SLC
Software license code —product registration
code required for using the Milestone Husky
product software. If you do not have system
administration responsibilities, you do not have
to deal with SLCs. System administrators use
SLCs when installing and registering the
software.
SMS
Short Message Service or Systems
Management Server.
1) Short Message Service, a system for
sending text messages to mobile phones.
2) Systems Management Server, a Microsoft
tool which lets system administrators build up
databases of hardware and software on local
networks. The databases can then
—among
other things —be used for distributing and
installing software applications over local
networks.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol —standard for
sending e-mail messages between mail
servers.
Subnet
A part of a network. Dividing a network into
subnets can be advantageous for
management and security reasons, and may in
some cases also help improve performance.
On TCP/IP-based networks, a subnet is
basically a part of a network on which all
devices share the same prefix in their IP
addresses, for example 123.123.123.xxx,
where the first three numbers (123.123.123)
are the shared prefix. Network administrators
use subnet masks to divide networks into
subnets.
T
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol —protocol (or
standard) used for sending data packets
across networks. TCP is often combined with
another protocol, IP (Internet Protocol). The
combination, known as TCP/IP, allows data
packets to be sent back and forth between two
points on a network for longer periods of time,
and is used when connecting computers and
other devices on the internet.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol
—combination of protocols (or
standards) used when connecting computers
and other devices on networks, including the
internet.
Telnet
Terminal emulation program used on TCP/IP
networks. With Telnet, you can connect to a
server from a computer on the network and
execute commands through Telnet as if you
were entering them directly on the server.
Windows includes a client for use with Telnet.
Transact
An add-on to Milestone Husky product.
XProtect Transact can help you prevent loss
and shrinkage through video evidence
combined with time-linked POS or ATM
transaction data.
