Glossary - 3 Decode Algorithm. Decryption. Depth of Field. DHCP. DHCP Server. Discrete Code. Discrete 2 of 5. EAN. Element. Encoded Area. ENQ (RS-232). Encryption. ESD. ESS_ID. Flash Memory. Host Computer. IEC. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code symbol. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum element width. (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. Similar to BOOTP, but also permits the leasing of an IP address. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as routers that allow multiple users access to the Internet. A server in the network or a service within a server that assigns IP addresses. A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code. A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group of five bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insignificant. Only numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded. European Article Number. This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards. Element dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail. Generic term for a bar or space. Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern, including start/stop characters and data. ENQ software handshaking is also supported for the data sent to the host. Encryption is the scrambling and coding of data, typically using mathematical formulas called algorithms, before information is transmitted over any communications link or network. A key is the specific code used by the algorithm to encrypt or decrypt the data. Also see, Decryption and Key. Electro-Static Discharge Extended Service Set Identifier, defines the coverage area. Prior to the release of the 802.11 specification the ESS_ID was called the Net_ID or Network Identifier. ESS_ID: 32 Alphanumeric characters, (case sensitive). Flash memory is responsible for storing the system firmware and is non-volatile. If the system power is interrupted the data will not be lost. A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing such services as computation, database access, supervisory programs and network control. International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.
