IP-900 Series
123
Injected ID
14-character (56-bit) ID specified by the user
in BISS MODE E. A session word is derived
from the specified injected ID and encrypted
session word. Then, encryption or decryption in
BISS MODE E is performed.
IP (Internet Protocol)
A protocol used for transferring packets
between host computers anywhere on the
Internet. The identifiers used to identify the
destinations and senders for packet transfer are
called IP addresses. An IP address is a 32-bit
value that can identify a network and a host on
the network. Each host that communicates on
the Internet must be assigned a unique IP
address.
IP Satellite Mode
A function used in transmission using IP
satellite connection. It distributes streams that
inhibit the bit stuffing function of the HDLC
procedure, which is used in IP satellite
connection (This function inserts 0 after five 1's
in a row.)
IPv6
IP protocol that is the successor to IPv4, which
is currently the dominant IP protocol version on
the Internet. The network address length is
extended from 32 bits in IPv4 to 128 bits to solve
the address space exhaustion problem that is
worsening with the growth in use of the Internet.
IPv6 also provides stateless address
auto-configuration that allows an IPv6 address
to be automatically generated based on the
information from the router and the MAC
address of the IP-900 series.
IP Address
A numeric identifier that identifies a node (e.g.,
a computer) operating under TCP/IP. An IP
address is a 32-bit value divided into four 8-bit
segments separated by dots (e.g.,
200.10.101.1).
IP Multicast
TCP/IP term that refers to a technology by
which the same data is transmitted to many
destinations at the same time. An address class,
called Class D, is used for multicasting. The first
four bits (1110) of a Class D address specify
multicasting, and the remaining 28 bits specify a
multicast group.
IP-9500 Basic Software
The name of the IP-9500 control software. It is
installed on the IP-9500 and allows the IP-9500
to run as an encoder or decoder based on the
selection on the Web screen.
IP-9500D Basic Software
The name of the IP-9500D control software. It
is installed on the IP-9500D and allows the
IP-9500D to run as a decoder.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A data communication system that covers a
limited area of about 6 miles (10 kilometers) and
provides transmission speeds in the mid to high
range.
L-band
The name of the frequency band from 0.5 to
1.5 GHz, according to the classification of
microwave frequencies by IEEE. The L-band
belongs to the ultra-high frequency band (UHF
band: 03 to 3 GHz.) The L-band is selected only
if an L-band modulator card is used for
operation.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
A display device utilizing liquid crystal cells. It
works by having 2 sheets of a polarizing material
with liquid crystal in between,
when an electrical
current is applied to the liquid crystal molecules
they become scattered allowing light to pass
through. LCD itself does not produce
luminescence and uses reflected light in the light
and fluorescent (backlight) in the dark. There
are 2 main types: simple matrix LCD such as
