Glossary

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to another network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like BOOTP, DHCP can configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, and name server. When speaking about the 10/100 Internal PS, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options.

delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.

dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it changes. BOOTP and DHCP offer time-based leases for the configurations they assign. Their changes depend on the time-based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and online again. A dynamic configuration can include BOOTP or DHCP.

Ethernet A widely used local area network system based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.

firmware Software routines that are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). This is typically part of a device, such as a printer or 10/100 Internal PS.

FTP File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP-related protocol for transferring files between devices on a network.

Flash memory A type of memory that allows read-and-write operations, but permanently stores data when the power is turned off. Useful for storing firmware because it can be easily updated by downloading new code.

gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different higher level protocol.

gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address of the device you want to configure to your local workstation’s ARP table. This configuration is not permanent and is valid only from the workstation from which you entered the ARP information. After the information is entered into the workstation’s ARP table, the user follows up with a Telnet session to enter the information permanently.

IP Internet Protocol, a packet-based protocol used for delivering data across networks.

IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol.

JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer management program available for NetWare and TCP/IP.

logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer might have a single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but could have logical connections to several other devices on the network.

LPD LPD stands for Line Printer Daemon; it is the part that receives and processes the request. A "daemon" is a server or agent.

MAC Address Media Access Control. Ethernet address that corresponds to the assigned IP address.
