Glossary

Numbers and A

10/100Base-T

Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP - Cat 5, and so forth) cable, in which the

 

amount of data transmitted between two points in a given amount of time is equal to either

 

10 Mbps or 100 Mbps

ARP

(Address Resolution Protocol) A protocol that assigns an IP address to a device based on

 

the device’s MAC or physical machine address

AWG

(American Wire Gauge) A standard measurement for wire conductor diameter

 

 

C

 

Condition

A state for which the PC1 is being monitored. When a monitored condition is met, the PC1

 

may sound an alarm or send an e-mail message, depending on how the system has been

 

configured (via the front panel or the Monitor web page). Examples of conditions that can

 

be monitored include Receptacle Off, Any Change, or Reference: None.

Contact closure

An encapsulated switch containing two metal wires that serve as the contact points. When

 

these contact points meet, a complete circuit is created (for example, input to ground on the

 

IPL T PC1).

Custom web page

Any file that can be loaded into an IPL interface and served by the IPL internal web server. A

 

custom web page can provide control of devices attached to the IPL without use of Global

 

Configurator (GC) or GlobalViewer (GV). This is true with or without an accompanying event

 

script. Any number and size of graphics can be used, but if they are too large to fit on the

 

IPL T PC1 interface, you can write your web page so that they can be served from another

 

web server. If you install Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) on your desktop, you

 

can serve any page on its hard disk. The IPL device functions like a little computer with a

 

web server—you can use it for various web tasks.

 

 

D

 

DataViewer

Software that allows you to send ASCII or hexadecimal commands to an IPL device interface

 

and view the device responses. You can configure the data display in several ways, including

 

selecting the text color, text font, and whether to view commands and responses in separate

 

panes within the DataViewer window. The software can save the command and response

 

data as a text file (.txt) or as an HTML file that preserves some of the display formatting.

Default web pages

A set of preloaded web pages that can be accessed via a standard web browser. These pages

 

are a primary means of initial setup for IP Link products and a way to change their settings.

 

Web browsers such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher) can be used, but if using

 

Internet Explorer, you must also have Microsoft Script (version 5.6 or higher).
