6.1 Glossary 6
HTTP The acronym for HyperText Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or
receive data between a Web server and a client (such as a Web browser). HTTP
can exchange files such as images, sounds, and movies that are associated with
documents, including their presentation formats and other information.
Install To install hardware, operating systems, applications, printer drivers, or other
software on to a computer.
IP Address An address or a code used to identify an individual network device on the Inter-
net. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), a protocol widely used today, adopts a 32-
bit number for an IP address separated into four sections. An example of an IPv4
IP address is: 192.168.1.10. On the other hand, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version
6), the next generation protocol, adopts 128-bit IP addresses. An IP address is
assigned to every computer or other device connected to the Internet.
IPP The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or re-
ceive 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.
IPX One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer of the OSI
reference model.
IPX/SPX The abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Ex-
change. This is a protocol developed by Novel, Inc., typically used in NetWare
environments.
LAN The acronym for Local Area Network. This is a network constructed by connect-
ing computers on the same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring build-
ings.
Local printer A printer connected to a parallel or USB port of a computer.
LPD The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independent printer
protocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol was originally developed
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 sys-
tems. 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 is a 48-bit number. 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.
NDPS The acronym for Novell Distributed Print Services. This provides a high perform-
ance printing solution in NDS environments. Using NDPS for the print server sim-
plifies and automates complicated management activities related to printer use.
For example, you can print to a desired printer or automatically download the
printer driver for a newly installed printer. NDPS print servers also integrate man-
agement related to the network printers.
NDS The acronym for Novell Directory Services. This allows the centralized manage-
ment in a hierarchical structure of shared resources such as servers, printers and
users information on the network, as well as the access privilege and other infor-
mation related to the users.
NetBEUI The abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. This is a network proto-
col developed by IBM. NetBEUI enables you to construct a small-scale network
simply by configuring computer names.
NetBIOS The abbreviation for Network Basic Input Output System. This is a communica-
tion interface developed by IBM.
NetWare A network operating system developed by Novell. This uses NetWare IPX/SPX
for the communication protocol.
Nprinter/
Rprinter A remote printer support module used when using a printer server in NetWare
environments. Rprinter is used for NetWare 3.x, and Nprinter for NetWare 4.x.
