Q. Glossary
UPnP
→ UPNP allows you to find a device on the network automatically. In an operating system Windows XP or higher,
enabling UPNP in a network environment lets you find a device connected in the same network automatically. When
you double-click the device thus found, your web browser brings in a relevant web page automatically. You can
easily find and access a device in this way without knowing its correct IP address.
iTunes
→ The ITUNES server performs a service that lets you play with your iTunes a multimedia file on a network. iTunes
players in the same network recognize as shared the files of the music folder below the open folder.
Print Server
→ The printer server lets you share printers on the network. Once you connect a printer via USB and performs a
search, it comes out as a network printer. Install a device driver appropriate for a printer to be used.
SSH
→ SSH is a service performing system commands like Telnet. Unlike Telnet, however, it comes with improved security.
To use SSH, you need to install a SSH client on your computer.
Bittorrent
→ Bittorrent is a P2P service for faster file download. To download a file via Bittorrent, you first need to have a torrent
file.
Ordinarily, the default port is used, but if the port cannot be used for any special reason, you can assign an
arbitrary port to it.
Network Shared Folder (Samba)
→ The Windows Explorer service lets you share a folder over the network. It comes with the user mode and the share
mode
In the user mode, user authentication is necessary for getting access to a folder. In the share mode, no such
authentication is needed; all data spaces can be shared or simply a USB disk or a memory space can be shared.
You need to take necessary precautons as the share mode needs no authentication.
AppleTalk
→ AppleTalk is a service that lets you share a network with a Apple computer. When you establish a connection as in
the following, you can access a space assigned to each user.
