HTTPS: A secure HTTP connection. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the format used to transfer
and send web page information across networks, on the Internet, and in help systems. HTTPS is an
HTTP connection over encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport mechanism. Also see
Protocol.
I
IP address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that uniquely identifies devices, such as
computers, on a network.
L
LAN: Local area network—a small number of computers that are connected together in a small area,
usually in the same building.
logical: A device, such as a partition named by the logic of a software system, regardless of its physical
relationship to the system. For example, a computer with a single physical hard disk that contains
two logical drives, C: and D:.
M
Map: Assigning a drive letter to the connection on a computer to access a shared folder on the server.
Mbps: Megabits per second.
Media streaming: Media streaming sends media—music, photos and video files—from the server to other
devices that can play the media. The server includes functionality that allows media to stream to a
Digital Media Adapter (DMA). Also see DMR.
N
NAT: Network Address Translation—Broadband routers use NAT technology to allow network
components to share Internet access over a single IP address. Additionally, NAT acts like a
firewall because the computers and other devices—including the server—on the network are given
IP address that are non-routable (non-internet addresses). This masks the real IP addresses of your
network components and keeps them from being seen outside the home. Also see IP address.
P
partition: A logical division of a physical hard disk. Partition data refers to the information contained
within the divisions on the drive. For example, some computers are formatted with a C: and D:
drive, both of which use the same physical hard drive.
password hint: A password hint helps you remember your password. The password hint can be seen by
anybody who clicks the link to display it.
PECI: Platform Environment Control Interface, abbreviated as PECI, is a recent (introduced in 2006)
technology used for thermal management in the Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessors. While previous
thermal management technologies have made use of thermal diodes, PECI instead uses on-die
digital thermal sensors (DTS). These sensors, after being calibrated at the factory, are able to
provide digital data concerning processor temperature information. The PECI bus, allowing access
to this data from chipset components, is a proprietary single-wire interface with a variable data
transfer speed (from 2 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s).
physical hard disk: The actual hard disk (hard drive) located in a device that stores files and data.
