10BASE-T A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable.
100BASE-T A type of Ethernet that can transmit 100Mb of data per second with a
twisted-pair cable.
ARP The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a device
based on its IP address.
ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters.
BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network user be automatically
configured (receive an IP address) and have an operating system booted (initiated) without
user involvement. The BootP server automatically configures the following information: IP
address, gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more 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.
current mode (parallel port) A mode that the printer and print server negotiate.
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 any print server, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options.
