It can be used on any network that needs a centralized authentication and/or accounting service for its workstations. SLP (Service Location Protocol) is a protocol that provides a flexible and scalable framework for providing hosts with access to information about the existence, location, and configuration of networked services. SLP is useful in enterprise networks. A driver feature that displays the current paper type and size available in each printer tray. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used to help manage complex networks. SNMP-compliant devices store data about themselves in MIBs (Management Information Bases) and return this data to the SNMP requestors. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol that has become the universal standard on the Web for authenticating sites and for encrypting communications between users and Web servers. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and Web servers, simply installing a digital certificate or Server ID enable SSL capabilities. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of communication protocols that is supported by a variety of computer platforms. TCP controls data transfer, and IP controls data routing. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a version of the TC/IP FTP protocol that uses UDP and has no directory or pass capability. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a protocol for establishing a secure connection between the client and the server. TLS is capable of authenticating both the client and the server and creating an encrypted connection between the two. HTTP uses TLS to establish secure connections. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a minimal message-oriented transport layer protocol found on domain name servers (DNS). The Xerox Walk-Up Printing Driver enables printing from a PC to any Xerox Postscript-enabled printer. For more information, see Walk-Up Printing Driver on page 2-3. The Xerox Print Driver Installer (Windows) is a software utility that provides for quick and easy installation of the printer driver. One choice for installation is Walk-Up Technology. For more information, see Walk-Up Installation on page 2-3. The Xerox Usage Analysis Tool enables you to collect and analyze enterprise-wide Xerox network printer usage data with customizable features. System Administrator Guide 6-4
