Glossary of Terms Print Server: A dedicated computer that manages printers and print requests from other nodes on the network. PROM: Programmable ROM, a read-only memory whose data content can be altered. Protocol: Any standard method of communicating over a network. Remote Access: Access to network resources not located on the same physical Ethernet. (Physical Ethernet here refers to an entire site network topology.) Remote Control: Form of remote access where a device dialing in assumes control of another network node - all keystrokes on the remote are translated into keystrokes on the network node. Used primarily with IPX protocol. Remote Node: Form of remote access where the device dialing in acts as a peer on the target network. Used with both IP and IPX protocols. Repeater: A repeater is a network device that repeats signals from one cable onto one or more other cables, while restoring signal timing and waveforms. Ring: A network topology in which the nodes are connected in a closed loop. Data is transmitted from node to node around the loop, always in the same direction. RMON: SNMP-based standard for reporting various network conditions. RMON has 10 different management groups which provide detailed information about a network. Rlogin: Rlogin is an application that provides a terminal interface between UNIX hosts using the TCP/IP network protocol. Unlike Telnet, Rlogin assumes the remote host is (or behaves like) a UNIX machine DSTni-XPress DR User Guide 11-13
