Sequenced Packet Exchange

A device on a network that has an address and can send and/or receive data to and from other devices on the network.

See Frame.

An acronym for Printer Control Language, which is used by Hewlett-Packard. This is a set of commands that tell a printer how to print a document.

A Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language (PCL) that is the first version of PCL to support bi-directional communication between printer and computer.

A NetWare utility that can be used to create, configure, monitor, and manage queues in a NetWare server, and to attach print servers to the queues.

An acronym for Page-Description Language. This refers to a programming language, such as PostScript, that is used to describe output to a printer or a display device, which then uses the instructions from the PDL to construct text and graphics and create the required page image.

A network environment in which the nodes communicate directly with other nodes. Windows for Workgroups, NetWare Lite, and Macintosh System 7 are examples of peer-to-peer networking products.

See Driver.

The rules that control the transmitting and receiving of data.

A place where jobs are stored temporarily, while they are waiting to be processed. A print queue will hold several print jobs. A printer that is attached to the print queue will print the jobs one at a time.

An acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. This is a method for providing IP Addresses to nodes on a network. When a node powers up, it broadcasts a RARP packet containing its Ethernet Address. The RARP server receives the packet and sends the IP Address back to the node.

See RARP.

A connector used to connect a 10BaseT cable to a device.

A device that directs network packets to the segment of the network for which the packet is intended, and excludes packets that are not intended for a segment. Routers reduce unnecessary network traffic and control access to segments of the network.

An acronym for Server Advertising Protocol. Nodes on a NetWare network broadcast “SAP packets” at intervals to advertise their presence to other nodes.

See SPX.
