6.1
Hard disk
A large capacity storage device for storing data. The data is retained 
even after the power is turned off.
Host name
The name used to identify a device on a network.
HTTP
The acronym for HyperText Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol 
used to send or receive data between a Web server and a client 
(such as a Web browser). HTTP can exchange files such as images, 
sounds, and movies that are associated with documents, including 
their presentation formats and other information.
Install
To install hardware, operating systems, applications, printer drivers, 
or other software on to a computer.
IP Address
An address or a code used to identify an individual network device 
on the Internet. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), a protocol widely 
used today, adopts a 32-bit number for an IP address separated into 
four sections. An example of an IPv4 IP address is: 192.168.1.10. On 
the other hand, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), the next genera-
tion protocol, adopts 128-bit IP addresses. An IP address is as-
signed to every computer or other device connected to the Internet.
IPP
The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to 
send or receive print data or control printers via the Internet or other 
TCP/IP network. IPP can also send and print data to printers in re-
mote areas via the Internet.
IPX
One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer 
of the OSI reference model.
IPX/SPX
The abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced 
Packet Exchange. This is a protocol developed by Novel, Inc., typi-
cally used in NetWare environments.
LAN
The acronym for Local Area Network. This is a network constructed 
by connecting computers on the same floor, in the same building, or 
in neighboring buildings.
Local printer
A printer connected to a parallel or USB port of a computer.
LPD
The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independ-
ent printer protocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol 
was originally developed for BSD UNIX, and has become one of the 
printing protocols typically used among general computers.
LPR/LPD
The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a 
printing method implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or 
UNIX based systems. It uses TCP/IP to output printing data from 
Windows or UNIX to a printer on the network.
MAC address
MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an 
ID number unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiv-
ing data to or from other Ethernet cards. A Mac address is a 48-bit 
number. The first 24 bits are controlled by IEEE and used to allocate 
a unique number to each manufacture, whereas the latter 24 bits are 
used by each manufacturer to assign a unique number to each card.
Memory
A storage device used for storing data temporarily. Some types of 
memory retain data even after the power is turned off, while others 
not.
NDPS
The acronym for Novell Distributed Print Services. This provides a 
high performance printing solution in NDS environments. Using 
NDPS for the print server simplifies and automates complicated 
management activities related to printer use. For example, you can 
print to a desired printer or automatically download the printer driver 
for a newly installed printer. NDPS print servers also integrate man-
agement related to the network printers.
NDS
The acronym for Novell Directory Services. This allows the central-
ized management in a hierarchical structure of shared resources 
such as servers, printers and users information on the network, as 
well as the access privilege and other information related to the us-
ers.
