Frequently used terms http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v4.html ITU TSS is the Standards Sector of ITU . JIS A Japanese industry standard code for presenting the Japanese character set Kanji on computers. JIS defines special ranges of user defined characters. Only the most popular ones are included. The newer Shift JIS standard sets aside certain character codes to signal the start of a two character sequence. Together, these define a single Kanji metacharacter. There are many oddities to be found in handling Kanji over the network. Sending JIS encoded messages through the Internet is done using a 7 bit code, called "OLD JIS" (standardized on JUNET). Unfortunately, it incorporates the ESC character, which some systems will filter out. This problem can be overcome by using UUENCODing. Kidlink operates two Japanese language mailing lists: KIDLEADER JAPANESE IRU WHDFKHUV DQG FRRUGLQDWRUV DQG KIDCAFE JAPANESE (for children only). See their "How to send and receive Kanji text" help file. See http://www.sla.purdue.edu/academic/fll/JapanProj/Je mail/ for more about sending and receiving electronic mail in Japanese. JPEG (JPG) Standardized compression method for full color and gray scale images that often reduces the size of bitmapped images by a factor of 10 or more with little or no discernible image degradation. Designed to handle "real world" scenes, for example scanned photographs. Cartoons, line drawings, and other non realistic images are not JPEG's strong suit. On that sort of material you may get poor image quality and/or little compression. KB Kilobyte. A unit of data storage size that represents 1024 characters of information. 1,000 bits. Kbits LAN Local Area Network. A data network intended to serve an area of only a few square kilometers or less. LDAP The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Email address directory. See the LDAP home page 7KH /'$3 SURWRFRO LV GHVFULEHG LQ RFC 1777, and is an open standard for directory services on the Internet. Leased line Refers to a phone line that is rented for exclusive 24 hour, 7 days a week use from your location to another location. Library is used on online services about a collection of related databases (that you may search in) or files (that may be retrieved). Login 9 of 17 23.11.2009 15:50
Frequently used terms http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v4.html Noun: The account name used to gain access to a computer system. Not a secret (contrast with Password). Verb: The act of entering into a computer system, for example, "Login to the WELL and then go to the GBN conference." Lurking No active participation by a subscriber to a mailing list, a conference, or Usenet newsgroup. A person who is lurking is just listening to the discussion. Mail Gateway A machine that connects to two or more electronic mail systems (including dissimilar mail systems) and transfers messages among them. Mail server A software program that distributes files or information in response to requests sent by email. Megabit (Mb) 2^2 bits of information. Usually used to express a data transfer rate, as in, 1 megabit/second (= 1Mbps). MHS (1) Message handling Service. Electronic mail software from Action Technologies licensed by Novell for its Netware operating systems. Provides message routing and store and forward capabilities. MHS has gateways into PROFS, and X.400 message systems. It also has a directory naming service and binary attachments. (2) Message Handling System. The standard defined by ITU TSS as X.400 and by ISO as Message Oriented Text Interchange Standard (MOTIS). MHS is the X.400 family of services and protocols that provides the functions for global email transfer among local mail systems. MIDI Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A specification that standardizes the interface between computers and digital devices that simulate musical instruments. Rather than transmit bulky digitized sound samples, a computer generates music on a MIDI synthesizer by sending commands just a few bytes in length characterizing the pitch and duration of sounds (and the instruments that produce them). Each channel of a MIDI synthesizer corresponds to a different instrument, or "voice," and you can program several channels simultaneously to produce symphonic sound. Modem An acronym for MOdulator DEModulator. It is a device that converts digital data from a computer or terminal into analog data that can be sent over telephone lines. On the receiving end, it converts the analog data back to digital data. Most modern modems can handle the dialing and answering of a telephone call and generate the speed of the data transmission, measured in bits per second, or baud rates. The telephone industry sometimes refers to a modem as a dataset. Moderator 10 of 17 23.11.2009 15:50
