10Base-2: An Ethernet local area network capable of transferring 10 Mb of data per second via
thin coaxial cables that can be up to 185 meters long.
a
administrator: A broad term that encompasses anyone managing any aspect of a Talkman® T2
system. Shift supervisors, warehouse supervisors, system administrators, systems analysts, and
even information systems personnel may all serve as administrators in some fashion.
alias: An alphanumeric name used with DNS to refer to an IP address; a secondary or symbolic
name for a file, a collection of data, a computer user, or a computer device.
assignment: A collection or group of picks that can be assigned to an operator in Pick Manager;
also referred to as trips.
audio cable: The red cable (i.e. the cable with the red bend relief) that includes only an audio
jack. This cable is used to connect the terminal to an audio device, such as a wired portable
speaker.
b
background noise sampling: A Talkman® terminal must be able to distinguish an operator's
voice from any other noise that is going on around the operator. In order to differentiate
between the operator's voice and any background noise (i.e. all other sounds going on around
an operator when he or she is speaking to a terminal), the terminal takes a sampling of the
background noise as well as the operator's voice. This sample enables the terminal to tell the
difference between the operator's voice and other sounds that may be going on around the
operator.
baud rate: The maximum number of changes that can occur per second in the electrical state
of a communications circuit.
bend relief: The flexible plastic material (colored red, yellow, or blue) near the connector end
of the cable on peripheral products such as headsets and bar code wands. Match the bend
relief color to the red, yellow, or blue port on the Talkman terminal when connecting
peripherals.
BIOS: Basic input-output system. A set of programs encoded in read-only memory (ROM) in IBM
compatible computers. These programs handle startup operations such as the power-on self-
test (POST) and low-level control for hardware, such as disk drives, keyboards and monitors.
boot block: The block of flash memory in a terminal that contains the code for the terminal to
boot and to run diagnostics.
