Internet Direct Connection

An Internet connection technology/service (such as ADSL and optical fiber) that allows for high-speed, high-
volume data communication. 

The software used to search for, access, and view web pages. For this instrument, this refers to the display 
that shows the contents of the web pages.

A system that records certain information that the user transfers when visiting a website and using the 
Internet. The function is similar to a preference file in a conventional computer program, in that it “remembers” 
certain information such as your user name and password, so you don’t have to re-enter the information each 
time you visit the site.

This is a standard or protocol by which IP addresses and other low-level network configuration information 
can be dynamically and automatically assigned each time connection is made to the Internet.

A system that translates names of computers connected to a network to their corresponding IP addresses.

Transferring data over a network, from a larger “host” system to a smaller “client” system’s hard drive or other 
local storage device — much like copying files from your hard disk drive to a floppy disk. For this instrument, 
this refers to the process of transferring Song and other data from a website to the instrument.

A system which links different networks or systems, and makes possible data transfer and conversion despite 
differing communications standards.

The first page shown when opening a browser and connecting to the Internet. This phrase is also used to 
mean the “front screen” or top page of a website.

A huge network made up of networks, the Internet allows high-speed data transfer among computers, mobile 
phones and other devices. 

A string of numbers assigned to each computer connected to a network, and indicating the device’s location 
on the network.

Short for Local Area Network, this is a data-transfer network that connects a group of computers at a single 
location (such as an office or home) by means of a special cable.

A highlighted word, button or icon within a web page that, when clicked, opens another web page.

A device which connects and allows data transfer between a conventional telephone line and a computer. It 
converts the digital signals from the computer to analog audio for sending over the phone line, and vice 
versa.

Short for Network Time Protocol, a standard for setting the internal system clock of the computer over a 
network. For this instrument, the internal clock of the computer is used to specify the valid time/date for 
cookies and SSL.

A communications business that offers Internet connection services. In order to connect to the Internet, it is 
necessary to contract to a provider.

A proxy server is a server that all computers on a local network have to go through before accessing 
information on the Internet. It intercepts all or designated requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the 
requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers are used to improve performance 
and speed, and to filter requests, usually for security and to prevent unauthorized access to an internal 
network. 

A device for connecting multiple computer networks. For example, a router is necessary when connecting 
several computers in a house or office, and allow them to all access the Internet and share data. A router is 
usually connected between a modem and a computer, although some modems have a built-in router.

A hardware system or computer used as a central point for a network, providing access to files and services.

Short for “website,” this refers to the group of web pages that are opened together. For example, the 
collection of web pages whose addresses begin with “http://www.yamaha.co.jp/” is referred to as the Yamaha 
site. 

This is an identification name for specifying a particular network over a wireless LAN connection. 
Communication is possible only between terminals with matching SSID names.

Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a standard for transmitting confidential data such as credit card numbers 
over the Internet.

A setting used to divide a large-scale network into several smaller networks.

Short for Uniform Resource Locator, a string of characters used to identify and link to specific websites and 
pages on the Internet. A complete URL usually starts with the characters “http://.”

Refers to each individual page that makes up a website.

A LAN connection that allows data transfer through a wireless, cable-free connection.
