GLOSSARY
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol that assigns an IP address to a device based on the device’s MAC or physical machine address.
Custom
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a standardized communications protocol that enables network administrators to locally and automatically manage the assignment of IP addresses in an organization’s network.
Driver is a Global Viewer Configurator (GVC) compatible package. It includes the event script that controls devices.
Ethernet is a network protocol that uses MAC addresses instead of IP addresses to exchange data between computers. Using ARP (see above) with TCP/IP support, Ethernet devices can be connected to the Internet. An Ethernet LAN typically uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wires. Ethernet systems currently provide transmission speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Event script is a program that runs on an IPL box and issues queries and commands to the attached devices. As long as event scripts are turned on, event scripts run continuously on the box.
Global Viewer Configurator (GVC) is a
devices you have and your current list of IP addresses. With this information, GVC creates a GV for your specific devices. The GVC also compiles the event scripts and loads the GV and event scripts onto the box. When using the GVC, the user must specify the port number for each device (for attached devices to be controlled, they must be on that port). In order for multiple
Global Viewer (GV) is a Web application that is loaded into the memory of an IPL unit. These pages provide an interface for control of devices attached to the IPL product. They communicate with the event scripts running on the unit, and the event scripts issue the commands and queries. This communication between the Web pages and the event scripts occurs through predetermined memory locations in the IPL unit.
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a Web protocol based on TCP/IP, that is used to fetch HyperText objects from remote Web pages.
Internet Protocol (IP) is the protocol or standard used to send information from one computer to another on the Internet.
IP address is a unique,
IP Netmask is a
Media Access Control (MAC) Address is a unique hardware number given to devices that connect to the Internet. When your computer or networking device (router, hub, interface, etc.) is connected to the Internet, a table (see ARP) relates the device’s IP address to its corresponding physical (MAC) address on the LAN.
Ping is a utility that tests network connections. It is used to determine if the host has an operating connection and is able to exchange information with another host.
