protocol	A set of rules or conventions governing the
	exchange of information between computer
	systems, or between a printer and a host
	computer. For computer printers, a protocol is
	the coding convention used to convey and print
	data. A printer protocol includes codes for
	printing text and graphics, as well as codes
	instructing the printer to perform special
	operations, and machine-to-machine
	communication codes.
PSERVER	Print Server. A Novell print method where the
	PrintNet continuously polls the Novell file server
	print queue looking for print jobs.
RAM	Random Access Memory. Volatile memory within
	the PrintNet that contains current/working
	settings. Settings are lost once the power is
	removed.
RARP	Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Allows a
	network device to discover its IP address
	dynamically upon bootup. The IP address does
	not need to be stored within the device itself
	permanently.
ROM	Read-Only Memory.
router	A device that forwards IP packets to their
	destination. Also called a gateway.
RPRINTER	Remote Printer. A Novell print method where the
	PrintNet waits for jobs to be sent to it from a
	defined PSERVER.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. A
	standard protocol used to monitor network
	devices called “SNMP agents.”
socket	TCP connection between two hosts consisting of
	a source and destination TCP port number at
