Appendix A: Glossary Appendix A: Glossary This glossary contains terms and definitions used within this guide. It is by no means exhaustive of terms that you may come across. ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard set of 128 characters, symbols and control codes used for computer communications. ASCII characters require 7 bits of data to send, but are often sent 8 bits at a time with the extra bit being a zero.
iR1200 Modem through. Circuit Switch was originally developed for the analog-based telephone system in order to guarantee steady, consistent service for two people engaged in a phone conversation. Command Mode The mode that accepts AT commands. Also known as Terminal Mode. When your modem is in this mode, it is waiting to receive AT commands that you type from your communication software.
Appendix A: Glossary Differential GPS A procedure of correcting GPS solutions to achieve improved position accuracy. Differential GPS provides 2 to 5 meter position accuracy. Differential accuracy is obtained by applying corrections determined by the stationary Differential Reference Station to the GPS data collected by the RPU (receiver processing unit) on-board the vehicle. DNS Domain Name Server. This is what converts names of domains (ex. : www.nextel.com) into IP addresses (ex. : 170.206.225.22).
iR1200 Modem operated by the U.S. Department of Defense but is available for general use around the world. GPS Antenna An antenna designed to receive GPS radio navigation signals. GPS Processor An electronic device that interprets the GPS radio navigation signals (received by the GPS antenna) and determines a location solution. The GPS processor may also be able to apply (and determine) differential GPs corrections. GPS Receiver The combination of GPS antenna and GPS processor.
Appendix A: Glossary Kbps Kilobits per second. Generally represented at 1000 bits per second. Laptops Portable computers, such as notebooks and sub-notebooks. Local Area Network (LAN) A computer network that spans over a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. Mobile IP An IP enhancement that provides forwarding of traffic to moving users. It uses agents in the user’s home network and in all foreign networks.
iR1200 Modem Packet of Data A bundle or block of data, organized in a specific way for transmission. Parallel Port A low speed port, usually located on the rear of a computer which usually connects to printers. Parallel ports transmit data simultaneously over eight “parallel wires” one byte at a time (as opposed to a serial port, which transmits data one bit at a time). Parity Bit Parity is a process for detecting whether bits of data have been altered during transmission.
Appendix A: Glossary RAM Random Access Memory is the working memory of the computer where you can enter information and call up data. Routable IP Address (Public IP Address) A communications protocol that contains a network address as well as a device address, allowing data to be routed from one network to another. Examples of routable protocols are SNA, OSI, TCP/IP, XNS, IPX, AppleTalk and DECnet. RS-232 A communication standard for digital data. Specifies a number of signal and control lines.
iR1200 Modem will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. IP acts as a postal system, allowing you to address a package and drop it in the system, but doesn’t provide a direct link between you and the recipient. TCP/IP, on the other hand, establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of time. Terminal Mode The mode that accepts AT commands. Also known as Command Mode.
