Term 
Definition 
Language Descriptor 
or LD 
Identifier for a single component compressed audio stream under an 
MPEG Program within a Transport stream. 
Linux 
A modern, open-source (free) operating system (OS).  The OS provides 
these standardized services to the i6420 application software:  1)  access to 
the hardware, 2) rations access to the microprocess for the application’s 
multiple processes, 3) interrupts the application with events and messages, 
4) ration computer resources, and 4) allows standard communication 
methods to external hosts. 
LAN 
Local area network.   An IP/Ethernet network to which either the i6420 
LAN or WAN ports may be connected. 
LCD 
Liquid Crystal Display.  Text display technology for i6420 front-panel. 
LED 
Light emitting diode.  Display lamps for i6420 front-panel. 
LNB 
Low-noise block downconverter - equipment (generally at the antenna) 
that converts the incoming satellite signal to the appropriate frequency for 
reception by the 
iPump 6420
.
 
MPEG 
Moving Pictures Experts Group.  Often used to describe a set of 
specifications based on ISO 13818-x. 
PAT 
Program Allocation Table.  A single metadata structure provided in all 
MPEG Transport streams that show what Programs are available. 
Permanent Setting 
A non-volatile setting of the i6420, which has no time limit. 
PID 
Packet ID.  Identifies a specific single data stream within an aggregate 
MPEG Transport stream. 
PMT 
Program Map Table.  A single metadata structure that is provided in 
MPEG Transport streams, one such “table” per Program.  Gives 
information about the media components (video, audios, data, etc.) within 
the Program. 
Playlist 
In an i6420, an ordered set of playable media files.  When used, the entire 
set is played or executed in its entirety. 
Program 
Under MPEG, these are the basic channels under which media is conveyed 
in MPEG Transports.  Typically, all media services within a Program 
share a single time-base. 
Program Number 
An identifier unique to each Program within a Transport. 
PPP 
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a protocol for communication between two 
computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected 
by phone line to a server.
 
QPSK 
Quadrature-phase-shift-keying.  Term usually used to imply the specific 
carrier protocol (modulation and FEC) described in DVB specifications 
and used world-wide to convey MPEG Transports over satellites. 
RF 
Radio Frequency.  Often used as a noun to mean any RF signal, such as the 
satellite downlink signal, or the IF signal emitted from the antenna LNB. 
Server 
A computing program that constantly runs, while waiting to deliver, and 
then performing the delivery of services to other programs running on the 
same or other computers.  Also used to describe the computer upon which 
a server program is running. 
SMB 
Server message block - a protocol for requesting services from and reading 
and writing to a file server.  An SMB server can present its files for easy 
viewing by Windows Explorer.
 
Telnet 
Industry-standard method for communicating between host computers 
over IP networks.
