10BASE-T A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable.
arp The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a
device based on it’s IP address.
ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters.
BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network client
automatically configured. It can automatically configure any of the following
information: IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more. It
automatically assigns the necessary settings from a pool of pre-determined addresses
for a certain duration of time. BOOTP is the basis for a more advanced network
manager protocol, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
broadcast In a network, a situation when all destinations on the network receive a
given packet.
client a workstation or PC in a client/server environment.
community For SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP
managers that defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one,
defined at the agent. Each community is given a unique community name.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to
another network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like
BOOTP, DHCP can configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name and name
server. When speaking about the PSII, BOOTP and DHCP configure the same options.
delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every
job sent to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.
dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it changes.
BOOTP and DHCP offer time based leases for the configurations they assign. Their
changes depend on the time based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and
online again. A dynamic configuration includes BOOTP or DHCP.
