config file This is a file that resides in the print server’s memory and contains all
the parameters that determine the AXIS 5470e/570/670e
functionality. By editing the config file (changing the parameter
settings), you can configure the AXIS 5470e/570/670e to meet the
printing needs of your network.
CPGID Code Page Global ID
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is available in
Windows NT, NetWare 5 and UNIX systems, and allows for the
automatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses from a central
pool. DHCP causes the selected host to automatically allocate and
download an unused IP address to the requesting print server. It also
provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will
remain valid.
To fully benefit from this method, the AXIS 5470e/570/670e also
supports the WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available
in Windows NT networks.
DNS Domain Name Service. Reflects the server names and addresses within
a network.
EBCDIC Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code. Coded 8-bit
character set used by SNA and native IBM data streams.
FEP Front End Processor. Generic term for a specialized computer linked
to a host machine to support a specialized function
(e.g. communications). IBM 3705, 3720, 3725, and 3745 are
communications FEPs.
Flash Memory The print
server software is stored in Flash Memory. This memory is
provided by a silicon chip that like any other ROM device, retains
data content even after power is removed. However, Flash Memory is
unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written. This
means that you can install software updates for your
server as soon as
they become available, without having to replace any parts. The new
software is simply loaded into the server over the network.
