15.5 Glossary 15.5 Glossary Term 10Base-T /100Base-TX /1000Base-T 2in1 Active Directory Adobe® Flash® Anonymous FTP APOP AppleTalk Auto IP bit Bluetooth BMP Bonjour BOOTP bps Byte CMYK CSV Default Gateway 15 Description A set of specifications under the Ethernet standards. Those cables that consist of twisted copper wire pairs are used. The transmission speed of 10Base-T is 10 Mbps, of 100Base-TX is 100 Mbps, and of 1000Base-T is 1000 Mbps. A function to send the original by double-page spread, consolidating two pages on a sheet. A network service provided by Microsoft. Active Directory can centrally manage all types of information including servers, clients, printers and other hardware resources, as well as properties and access permissions of users on the network. Software or its file format developed by Adobe Systems Inc. (formerly by Macromedia, Inc.), used to create a content by compiling vector-graphic animations and sounds. The software allows handling interactive contents using keyboard or mouse. The files can be kept relatively compact and accessed from a Web browser with dedicated plug-in software. While FTP sites are usually protected using some account name and password mechanism, an anonymous FTP system permits anyone to access the FTP site by simply entering "anonymous" as the account name, without a password. The acronym for Authenticated Post Office Protocol. While usual POP does not encrypt the password used for receiving an E-mail, APOP encrypts the password. This authentication method helps enhance the E-mail security. The generic name for the protocol suite developed by Apple Computer for computer networking. A function to obtain an IP address automatically. If one fails to get an IP address via DHCP, the auto IP gets an IP address from the space of "169.254.0.0". The abbreviation for binary digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity) handled by a computer or printer. A bit uses only a 0 or a 1 to indicate data. One of short-range wireless communication technologies used to connect portable information devices, which are a few meters apart. This function enables you to wirelessly connect a laptop computer, PDA, or cellular phone to transfer voices or data. The abbreviation for bitmap. It is a file format used to save image data. (The file extension is ".bmp"). Commonly used on Windows platforms. BMP covers the color depth from monochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). BMP images are not suitable for compressed storage. A Macintosh network technology, automatically detecting devices connected to the network and configuring the devices. Previously called "Rendezvous", and has been changed to "Bonjour" since Mac OS X v10.4. The abbreviation for Bootstrap Protocol. The protocol is used for a client computer on the TCP/IP network to load network configuration automatically from a server. Instead of BOOTP, DHCP, an advanced protocol based on BOOTP, is typically used today. The acronym for bit per second, which is a unit of data transmission, indicating the amount of data transmitted per second. A byte indicates a unit of information (data quantity) handled by a computer or printer. A byte consists of eight bits. The acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. The colors in the toner/ink used for color printing. Changing the mixing ratio of the four CMYK colors enables any type of color to be created. The acronym for Comma Separated Values, which is one of the formats used for saving database or spreadsheet data as a text file. (The file extension is ".csv".) Data can be shared among different applications by being separated by commas (as the delimiter). A device, such as a computer or router, used as a "gateway" to access computers on different LANs. bizhub C360/C280/C220 15-31
