Appendix C Glossary
BOOTP A TCP/IP protocol, used for downloading start-up information
such as the IP address to hosts on the network. BOOTP requires a
BOOTP daemon on your system. A request made to an active
BOOTP daemon initiates a search of the Boot Table for an entry
matching the print server's Ethernet address. If a matching entry
is found, the daemon downloads the IP address to the print
server
config file A file that resides in the print server’s memory and contains all
the parameters that determine the functionality of the AXIS
1610. By editing the config file (i.e. changing the parameter
settings), you can configure the AXIS 1610 to match the
network printing requirements
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 1610 also supports
the WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available in
Windows NT networks
Firmware Print server software that determines the functionality of the
print server
Flash Memory The print server software is stored in Flash Memory. The Flash
Memory is a Non-volatile RAM that retains data content even
after power is removed. As the memory allows its data to be
erased and re-written, 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
