Glossary
demodulated and sent to the DTE as digital signals again.
Modulation
Translating digital states to analog waveforms.
NDIS
Network Driver Interface Specification is a Windows® specification for how
communication protocol programs (such as TCP/IP) and network device drivers
should communicate with each other.
NetBIOS
Network Basic Input/Output System. NetBIOS is an extension of the DOS BIOS
that enables a PC to connect to and communicate with a LAN.
Network
Any time you connect 2 or more computers together so that they can share
resources, you have a computer network. Connect 2 or more networks together
and you have an internet.
NIC
Network Interface Card. A board that provides network communication
capabilities to and from a computer system. Also called an adapter.
Node
Any single computer connected to a network.
Off-line
A modem that is not connected to another modem is off-line.
On-line
A modem that is engaged in a connection with another modem is on-line.
Open
Architecture
Allows the system to be connected easily to devices and programs made by
other manufacturers. Open architectures use off-the-shelf components and
conform to approved drafts. A system with a closed architecture, on the other
hand, is one whose design is proprietary making it difficult to connect the
system to other systems.
Originate
In a modem connection, one modem must work in the originate mode, the other
in the answer mode.
Packed Data
Data from which redundant information has been removed. Some file
extensions denote packed files. Standard extensions are .ZIP, .ARC, .LZH,
.TAR, .ZOO and others. If you transfer packed data do not use MNP5
compression.
Parity
A method to check whether a character has been correctly transmitted in
asynchronous transfer. Usual settings are even parity and odd parity. In a
connection, the modems at both ends must use the same parity settings.
Parity Bit
The parity bit is sent as additional information with the data bits in
asynchronous transfers. It controls the integrity of the transferred data. If parity
is even, the parity bit is set if an uneven number of data bit is sent in the
