8 Glossary
Authentication credentials — a username, password and optional 
network domain name that grants the Scan Station access to network 
resources. 
Challenge Response (CRAM-MD5) — an encryption algorithm used 
for authenticating access to an email server. 
Configuration file — an encrypted .xml file containing all the settings 
for the device. Basically, a configuration file tells the Scan Station who it 
is, how to scan and where to send the digital files. 
Configuration Organizer — the software used by users of the Kodak 
Scan Station 100 to configure the Scan Station and to create personal 
settings that are typically saved to a USB flash drive. 
DHCP (Domain Host Control Protocol) — a network protocol that 
dynamically assigns network addresses (IP addresses) to computers 
and other network devices.
FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) — a human-readable name 
linked to the IP address of a computer. It includes both the computer’s 
host name and domain name.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) — a standard Internet protocol which is the 
simplest way to exchange files between computers on the Internet. Like 
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which transfers displayable 
Web pages and related files, and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol 
(SMTP), which transfers email, FTP is an application protocol that uses 
the Internet's TCP/IP protocols. FTP is commonly used to transfer Web 
page files from their creator to the computer that acts as their server for 
everyone on the Internet. It is also commonly used to download 
programs and other files to your computer from other servers.
IP address (Internet Protocol) — used to reference computers on a 
network. Addresses presented in a universal format of four, three-digit 
numeric values separated by a period (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) — the standard for 
attaching non-text files to Internet mail messages. These files include 
spreadsheets, formatted word-processor documents, graphics and 
sound files. The MIME standard defines the type of file being sent and 
what should be done to convert it back into its original form.
NETBIOS (Network Basic Input Output System) — an API that allows 
applications on different computers to communicate within a local area 
network. Created by IBM and later adopted by Microsoft, NETBIOS is 
used in most physical topologies and is a staple of Windows NT 
networks. A broadcast “protocol” that does not support a routing 
mechanism, NETBIOS is often carried over other protocols to allow its 
continued use in larger modern (routed) networks.
