Glossary of Terms Name Server: Software that runs on network hosts charged with translating (or resolving) text-style names into numeric IP addresses. NetWare: A Novell developed Network Operating System (NOS). Provides file and printer sharing among networks of Personal Computers (PCs). Each NetWare network must have at least one file server, and access to other resources is dependent on connecting to and logging into the file server. The file server controls user logins and access to other network clients, such as user PCs, print servers, modem/fax servers, disk/file servers, etc. NetBIOS/NetBEUI: Microsoft's networking protocols for it's LAN Manager and Windows NT products. Network: An interconnected system of computers that can communicate with each other and share files, data and resources. Network Address: Every node on a network has one or more addresses associated with it, including at least one fixed hardware address such as "ae-34-2c-1d-69-f1" assigned by the device's manufacturer. Most nodes also have protocol specific addresses assigned by a network manager. Network Management: Administrative services for managing a network, including configuring and tuning, maintaining network operation, monitoring network performance, and diagnosing network problems. NIC: Network Interface Card, an adapter card that is inserted into a computer, and contains the necessary software and electronics to enable the station to communicate over the network. Node: Any intelligent device connected to the network. This includes terminal servers, host computers, and any other devices (such as printers and terminals) that are directly connected to the network. A node can be thought of as any device that has a "hardware address." NOS: Network Operating System, the software for a network that runs in a file server and controls access to files and other resources from multiple users. It provides security and administrative tools. Novell's NetWare, Banyan's VINES and IBM's LAN Server are NOS examples. DSTni-XPress DR User Guide 11-11

Glossary of Terms
Name Server:
Software that runs on network hosts charged with translating (or resolving) text-style names into
numeric IP addresses.
NetWare:
A Novell developed Network Operating System (NOS). Provides file and printer sharing among
networks of Personal Computers (PCs). Each NetWare network must have at least one file server, and
access to other resources is dependent on connecting to and logging into the file server. The file server
controls user logins and access to other network clients, such as user PCs, print servers, modem/fax
servers, disk/file servers, etc.
Microsoft’s networking protocols for it’s LAN Manager and Windows NT products.
Every node on a network has one or more addresses associated with it, including at least one fixed
hardware address such as "ae-34-2c-1d-69-f1" assigned by the device’s manufacturer. Most nodes also
have protocol specific addresses assigned by a network manager.
Any intelligent device connected to the network. This includes terminal servers, host computers, and
any other devices (such as printers and terminals) that are directly connected to the network. A node

Network Operating System, the software for a network that runs in a file server and controls access to
files and other resources from multiple users. It provides security and administrative tools. Novell’s
NetWare, Banyan’s VINES and IBM’s LAN Server are NOS examples.
NetBIOS/NetBEUI:
Network:
An interconnected system of computers that can communicate with each other and share files, data and
resources.
