10BaseT

A cable used for networking that transfers data at 10 Mega-bits per second. It is also called "twisted-pair" because it is comprised of two insulated wires twisted together. 10BaseT cable can be shielded or unshielded. Shielded cable provides more protection from noise than unshielded cable. A cable similar to 10BaseT that transfers data at 100 Mega-bits per second. It is also called fast Ethernet. An acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A coding scheme that assigns numeric values to letters, numbers, punctuation and certain other characters. A NetWare 2.x and 3.x database of resources and clients on a network. Bindery mode print servers use the information stored in the NetWare bindery to process a print job. Bindery views the network as a group of separate computers.

Ethernet Ethernet Address

Network transport technology commonly used to send data from one node to another. The Ethernet Address is a unique address that identifies a device on a network. The Ethernet Address is built into the device when it is manufactured. The Ethernet Address consists of six bytes of information and is expressed as hexadecimal numbers with the bytes separated by colons. (Example: 00:00:08:D4:05:14) A network environment in which the nodes communicate with a file server, and not directly with other nodes. NetWare 3.12 and Banyan VINES are file server networking products. A group of data sent through the network. Also called a "packet" or a "message". There are several different types of frames. The data is arranged differently in different types of frames. Nodes on a network must be set up for the same Frame Type in order to communicate. The Gateway Address is the IP Address of the gateway, or router, that will be used to access devices on other subnets. See TCP/IP. See TCP/IP. An acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. The application of Internet tools to allow end-users to print to a remote printer using the same methods as would be used for a local printer. This could include the use of HTTP servers and browsers. Internetwork Packet eXchange. IPX is part of NetWare. It routes packets to the correct node and to the correct process within the node. An acronym for Local Area Network. This is a network that serves a relatively small area, such as one building, and does not require telecommunications services to reach all of the nodes. See also WAN.

LPR

An acronym for Line Printer Remote. This refers to the process that sends jobs to the printer or print queue. LPR is a platform independent printing protocol that runs over TCP/IP.

Message NDS

See Frame. An acronym for NetWare Directory Services. A globally distributed network database that replaces the bindery used in previous versions of NetWare. NDS is incorporated into NetWare versions 4.0 and above. NDS views the network as a unified information system rather than a group of separate computers.

NetBIOS

An acronym for Network Basic Input/Output Operating System. A network file sharing application defined for use with PC-DOS personal computers, usually implemented under TCP/IP at the application layer. A network operating system from Novell. Clients log onto one or more file servers which provide services such as mail, printing, and filing. A protocol used by a NetWare client to request services from a NetWare server. An acronym for Network Interface Card. A printed circuit board used to connect a printer or computer to a network. A device on a network that has an address and can send and/or receive data to and from other devices on the network. See Frame.

PCL

An acronym for Printer Control Language, which is used by Hewlett-Packard. This is a set of commands that tell a printer and printer driver how to print a document. A Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language (PCL) that was the first version of PCL to support bi-directional communication between printer and computer. An acronym for Page Description Language. This refers to a programming language, such as PostScript, that is used to describe output to a printer or a display device, which then uses the instructions from the PDL to construct text and graphics to create the required page image. A network environment in which the nodes communicate directly with other nodes. Windows for Workgroups and NetWare Lite are examples of peer-to-peer networking products. Service Interval that tells how often the print server checks the print queue for print jobs going to this printer. The default is every 5 seconds. Values from 1 to 255 are allowed. The rules that control the transmitting and receiving of data. A place where jobs are stored temporarily, while they are waiting to be processed. A print queue will hold several print jobs. A printer that is attached to the print queue will print the jobs one at a time. Printing via a print queue. A Print Queue is a network directory that stores print jobs. When the printer assigned to a print queue is ready, the print server takes the print job out of the print queue and sends it to the printer. The print queue can hold as many print jobs as disk space allows. An acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol designed for the data link layer that allows hosts to associate a network hardware address with an IP address.

Raw TCP / Port 9100 printing

Ports are specified as destinations for network transmissions at the transport layer. Port 9100 is reserved for simple TCP printing, otherwise known as Raw TCP printing.

RJ45 Router

A connector used to connect a 10BaseT cable to a device. A device that directs network packets to the segment of the network for which the packet is intended, and excludes packets that are not intended for a segment. Routers reduce unnecessary network traffic and control access to segments of the network. An acronym for Sequenced Packet eXchange. SPX is part of NetWare. It ensures that packets are received in the correct order and that there are no errors. There are approximately 4.3 billion different addresses in the IP Address range of 000.000.000.000 to 255.255.255.255. These addresses can be divided into smaller, and much more manageable sub-networks, or subnets. The Subnet Mask identifies which part of the IP Address contains the Subnet Address and which part contains the host (or device) address. An acronym for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is a set of communication protocols that is supported by a variety of computer platforms. TCP controls the data transfer and IP controls the routing of the data. The IP Address is a unique address that identifies a device in a network. The IP Address has to be set by the System Administrator. The IP Address consists of four bytes of information and is expressed as decimal numbers with the bytes separated by dots. (Example: 13.1.188.2) See 10BaseT. An acronym for Wide Area Network. This is a network that serves a relatively large area, such as buildings in different cities, and requires telecommunications services to reach all the nodes. See also LAN. An acronym for Windows Internet Naming Service. Provides a dynamically updated name resolution service which allows clients to register their names and IP addresses.
