Core Services Catalogue - BCIT

Network
The physical structure that connects computers and allows them to
communicate internally with servers, printers and other devices, as well as
externally to the internet.
Network drop
The wall outlet into which a cable is plugged to connect an individual
(wired) computer to the network.
Online ID request system
A BCIT intranet application that is used to requisition employee computer
accounts for administrative systems. (It is not used for myBCIT or network
computer accounts which are generated automatically.)
Peripheral
A device that plugged in, or networked, to a computer. (e.g. printers,
scanners, CD Rom burners, external drives)
Portal
A Portal is a web site that acts as a starting point for Internet users on the
World Wide Web to find web sites and information on the subjects they
are interested in. (e.g. myBCIT is BCIT’s web portal.)
Proctor
IT Services student employees who are responsible for monitoring
problems in the BCIT computer labs during the evenings and weekends.
Re-image
The process of replacing the current image on a computer which might be
corrupted, or due to be upgraded to a newer version.
Resolution
A solution or fix for a computer error or fault.
Roaming plans
Roaming plans assist BCIT in keeping mobile device charges under
control, as they allow mobile device users to use their cell phone or
Blackberry devices in areas where roaming charges and/or long distance
charges would normally be incurred, for an additional specified charge.
(Departments incurring excessive roaming or long distance charges
because the appropriate roaming plan change has not been requested
may be charged.)
