Ethernet a widely used local area network system based upon the IEEE 802.3
standard.
firmware software routines that are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). This is
typically part of a device, such as a printer or PSII.
FTP File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP-related protocol for transferring files between
devices on a network.
Flash memory A type of memory which allows read and write operations, but
permanently stores data when the power is turned off. Useful for storing firmware,
because it can be easily updated by downloading new code.
gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different
higher level protocol.
gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address
of the device you want to configure to your local workstations arp table. This
configuration is not permanent and is only valid from the workstation that you entered
the arp information to. After the information is entered into the workstations arp table,
the user follows up with a telnet session to enter the information permanently. This
configuration option is used mostly by non-Windows workstations, that cannot run the
ZebraNet View configuration utility.
IP Internet Protocol, one of the main protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol.
IPP Internet Printing Protocol. Allows you to associate a printer with a URL address
that is used for printing over the Internet.
IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange, one of the NetWare protocols.
JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer management program available for NetWare
and TCP/IP.
logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer might
have a single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but could
have logical connections to several other devices on the network.
MAC Address Media Access Control. Ethernet address that corresponds to the
assigned IP address.
