IP
Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the format of packets, also
called datagrams, and the addressing scheme of the Web.
Much like a postal system, IP allows you to address a
package and drop it into the system, but your package is
not delivered instantly to your recipient. The packets are
simply delivered to a server until the recipient downloads
them by logging onto the ISP server.
LAN
A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers,
usually in close proximity (either in the same building or
in buildings in close proximity), that are linked together to
share files and exchange data.
NIC
A network interface card (NIC) is a card that is
installed in a computer so that it can be connected to a
network. Network interface cards can provide a dedicated,
full-time connection to a network.
ODBC databases
Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC), is
a standard database access method. The goal of ODBC is
to make it possible to access any data from any applica-
tion, regardless of which database management system is
handling the data.
partnership
An established relationship between your HP
Jornada and your PC for the purpose of synchronizing and
transferring data. Your HP Jornada can have partner-
ships with up to two desktop computers.
PCT
Private Communication Technology (PCT) is a protocol
that maintains the security and integrity of Internet
communications by using encryption, authentication, and
message-authentication codes. The protocol is application
independent, and is used by Web browsers and e-mail
clients to send data via the Internet. PCT is able to
negotiate encryption keys as well as authenticate a server
before data is exchanged by the higher level application.
