SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
SSL is a protocol that supplies secure data communication through data encryption and
decryption. SSL enables private communications over networks by using a
combination of public key cryptography and bulk data encryption.
Target device
A target device includes a wide range of data center components such as servers and
routers that an administrator is able to virtually manage through the DSView 3
management software.
Target device session
A target device session is a connection through a KVM, serial, Telnet or web browser.
Target device sessions do not include power management functionality.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol)
TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. The IP protocol deals only with
packets. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of
data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same
order in which they were sent.
Telnet session
A Telnet Viewer session is a type of target device session in which the target device
supports Telnet and the DSView 3 software client connects directly to the target
device using Telnet.
Telnet Viewer
This applet is a software component that provides the user interface needed to display
a remote target device through serial over IP sessions.
Tiered switch
A tiered switch is also known as a cascade switch. See the definition of cascade
switch.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
UDP is a connectionless protocol that runs on top of IP networks like TCP. Unlike
TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way
to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. UDP is primarily used for
broadcasting messages over a network.
