Glossary RS-232 cable RTS/CTS flow control Serial port Server SNMP Start bit Stop bit 311 A cable for serial interfaces between the terminal and communications devices, such as a modem. The cable connects to the 9-pin serial port at the back of the terminal. Maximum cable length is 50 feet; maximum signaling rate is 20 Kbits/sec. Request to Send/Clear to Send flow control. Enables flow control on the local serial line. RTS is the output of the terminal; CTS is the input to the terminal. A connector on a computer to which you can attach a serial line connected to peripherals that communicate using a serial (bit-stream) protocol. The most common type of serial port is a 25-pin D-type connector carrying RS-232 signals. Smaller connectors (e.g. 9-pin D-type) carrying a subset of RS-232 are often used on personal computers. Note Not all terminals have a serial port. A computer, or a software package, that provides a specific kind of service (such as access to workstations, printers, and other parts of the network) to client software running on other computers. The term can refer to a particular piece of software, such as a WWW server, or to the machine on which the software is running. A single server machine could have several different server software packages running on it, thus providing many different services to clients on the network. Simple Network Management Protocol. The industry standard protocol for managing TCP/IP networks. This protocol queries agents in managed devices and passes information to the management console. In asynchronous transmission, the first bit of any given character used to alert the receiving system to recognize the related incoming data. In asynchronous transmission, the last bit of any given character, used to alert the receiving system that transmission of the character is complete.
