Roaming Callback

A method where the client supplies the number for callback when they dial in.

RPC

Remote Procedure Call. A type of protocol that allows a program on one computer to execute a

 

program on a server computer.

Silent Connection

Silent connections are the same as direct connections except that they are permanently

 

established. The host login prompt is displayed on the screen. Logging out redisplays this

 

prompt. Silent connections, unlike direct connections, however, make permanent use of pseudo

 

tty resources and therefore consume host resources even when not in use.

SNMP (Simple

A protocol for managing network devices.

Protocol)

 

Subnet/Prefix Bits

Identifies the devices IP address, which portion constitutes the network address and which

 

portion constitutes the host address.
