Static IP | An IP address that has been specifically, instead of dynamically (see DHCP), assigned |
| to a device or system in a network configuration. This type of address requires manual |
| configuration of the actual network device or system and can only be changed manually or |
| by enabling DHCP. |
Subnet | (See Subnetwork.) |
Subnet address | The portion of an IP address that is specifically identified by the subnet mask as the |
| subnetwork. |
Subnet mask | A |
| subnet address. Using a mask, the router does not need to examine all 32 bits, only those |
| selected by the mask. |
Subnetwork | A network that is part of a larger IP network and is identified by a subnet address. Networks |
| can be segmented into subnetworks to provide a hierarchical, multilevel routing structure. |

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
The communication protocol (language) of the Internet. Computers and devices with direct access to the Internet are provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program to allow them to send and receive information in an understandable form.
Telnet | A standard terminal emulation utility/protocol that allows a computer to communicate with |
| a remote user/client. A user who wishes to access a remote system initiates a Telnet session |
| using the address of the remote client. The user may be prompted to provide a user name |
| and password if the client is set up to require them. Telnet enables users to log in on remote |
| networks and use those resources as if they were locally connected. |
Threshold | (See Reference threshold.) |
Threshold status | Reported on the IPL T PCS4 System Status screen in the AC Receptacles section. It indicates |
| the current reference threshold (Full, Standby, None, or Not Set) for each PCS4 receptacle. |

UID (User ID) | An optional user name, for which a field is provided on the Enter Password window that |
| opens if a password has been assigned to the PCS4. |
URL (Universal Resource Locator)
The address that lets a resource on the internet be identified, located, and accessed.
