Regarding PC Expanion

Host Computer

The computer which is connected to a PC Expanion, or a computer in which the NCT-2000-XP program has been installed.

Station

A PC Expanion which is connected to a host computer, and is called a station of the host computer.

WoIP (Windows over IP)

New network protocol that enables a PC to operate multi windows simultaneously in virtual memory and the registered multi user can access through TCP/IP by using a PC Expanion. This technology does not require a high priced server and supports the multi user access via a terminal.

UTMA(UltraThinMultiAccess) Multi-User Terminal

UTMA (Ultra Thin Multi Access) Multi User Terminal is a network computing terminal using NComputing patent technology. It doesn't use CPU, VGA, or main chipsets, simply a programmable SoC to connect to the host PC. A terminal using UTMA technology can be connected to a host PC by using a LAN cable. It can also be connected to a remote PC via the Internet using TCP/IP.

Regarding computer network

User account

A user in a computing context is one who uses a computer system. Users may need to identify themselves for the purposes of accounting, security, logging and resource management. In order to identify oneself, a user has an account (a user account) and a username, and in most cases also a password (see below). Users employ the user interface to access systems, and the process of identification is often referred to as log in.

Administrator

A system administrator is a person who is responsible for managing a multi-user computing environment, such as a local area network (LAN). The responsibilities of the system administrator typically include: installing and configuring system hardware and software; establishing and managing user accounts; upgrading software; and backup and recovery tasks.

Alias

An alias is a fictitious name used by an individual as an alternative to his or her true name.
