timing signal.
TCP/IP
Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A suite of Internetworking
communication protocols of which TCP and IP are the two most fundamental.
TCP port
This is a protocol port number used by TCP/IP. For access servers, this number is
mapped to a physical access server port number.
TD/SMP
Terminal Device/Session Management Protocol. An asynchronous, coded syntax
used by the access server and a terminal to manage independent multiple
terminal sessions simultaneously over a single physical circuit. See session
management.
Telnet
Internet. The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection service.
Telnet client
See client-server.
Telnet listener
A service that allows resources to be accessible to a TCP /IP network. The service
is provided over Telnet, hence the service is commonly referred to as a Telnet
listener.
Typically, printers connect to access server ports associated with a listener.
However, personal computers and host computers can also connect to such ports
and through them access the TCP/IP network.
Telnet server
See client-server.
Terminal Device/Session Management Protocol
See TD/SMP.
Terminal Server Manager
See TSM.
terminal session
A single session on a access server port that is operating under session
management control.
