Appendix C Glossary

BOOTP A TCP/IP protocol, used for downloading start-up information such as the IP address to hosts on the network. BOOTP requires a BOOTP daemon on your system. A request made to an active BOOTP daemon initiates a search of the Boot Table for an entry matching the print server's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon downloads the IP address to the print server

config file A file that resides in the print server’s memory and contains all the parameters that determine the functionality of the AXIS 1610. By editing the config file (i.e. changing the parameter settings), you can configure the AXIS 1610 to match the network printing requirements

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is available in Windows NT, NetWare 5 and UNIX systems, and allows for the automatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses from a central pool. DHCP causes the selected host to automatically allocate and download an unused IP address to the requesting print server. It also provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will remain valid

To fully benefit from this method, the AXIS 1610 also supports the WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available in Windows NT networks

Firmware Print server software that determines the functionality of the print server

Flash Memory The print server software is stored in Flash Memory. The Flash Memory is a Non-volatile RAM that retains data content even after power is removed. As the memory allows its data to be erased and re-written, you can install software updates for your

server as soon as they become available, without having to replace any parts. The new software is simply loaded into the server over the network
