Advanced Interactive eXecutive. A version of the UNIX operating 
system from IBM that runs on various IBM computers including 
Mainframe systems.

Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol within the TCP/IP suite of 
network protocols that allows a host to find the physical address of a 
node on the same network. It is available in UNIX, Windows 95, 
Windows 98 and Windows NT. ARP cannot be used across routers.

BOOT Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol, used for downloading start-up 
information such as the IP address to hosts on the network. It is only 
available in UNIX. BOOTP requires a BOOTP daemon on your 
system. A request made to an active BOOTP daemon initiates a search 
of the Boot Table for an entry matching the print server's Ethernet 
address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon downloads the IP 
address to the print server.

Berkeley Software Distribution. The University of California, 
Berkeley additions to the UNIX operating system.

config file

This is a file that resides in the print server’s memory and contains all 
the parameters that determine the AXIS 540/640 functionality. By 
editing the config file (changing the parameter settings), you can 
configure the AXIS 540/640 to meet the printing needs of your 
network.
