The ITU-T standard for multipoint data conferencing. T.120 provides the protocols for establishing and managing data flow, connections, and conferences. Support for T.120 enables data transfer from conferencing applications, such as file transfer and application sharing, to operate in conjunction with H.323 connections. See also H.323; International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication [Standardization Sector] (ITU-T).
The bar that contains the Start button and appears by default at the bottom of the desktop. You can click the taskbar buttons to switch between programs. You can also hide the taskbar, move it to the sides or top of the desktop, and customize it in other ways. See also desktop; notification area; taskbar button.
A button that appears on the taskbar and corresponds to a running application. See also taskbar.
See definition for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
The file that specifies whether a device supports multiple ports. If the Tcpmon.ini file indicates that a device can support multiple ports, users are prompted to pick which port should be used during device installation.
An application programming interface (API) used by communications programs to work with telephony and network services. Communications programs like HyperTerminal and Phone Dialer use TAPI to dial, answer, and route telephone calls on conventional telephony devices, including PBXs, modems, and fax machines. TAPI 3.0 also provides Internet Protocol (IP) telephony support, which Phone Dialer and other programs use to transmit, route, and control real-time audio and video signals over IP-based networks such as the Internet. See also application programming interface (API); Internet Protocol (IP).
Terminal emulation software, similar to Telnet, that allows a personal computer to log on to an IBM mainframe over a TCP/IP network.
Terminal emulation software, similar to Telnet, that allows a personal computer to log on to an IBM AS/400 host system over a TCP/IP network.
Approximately one trillion bytes, or one million million bytes.
The underlying technology on that enables Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, and Terminal Server.
Non-Microsoft add-on, augmentative hardware and software devices, such as accessibility products that assist users with disabilities.
A type of object within a process that runs program instructions. Using multiple threads allows concurrent operations within a process and enables one process to run different parts of its program on different processors simultaneously. A thread has its own set of registers, its own kernel stack, a thread environment block, and a user stack in the address space of its process. See also kernel.
A numeric value indicating the execution state of the thread. Numbered 0 through 5, the states seen most often are 1 for ready, 2 for running, and 5 for waiting. See also thread.
For disks, the transfer capacity of the disk system.
A timer value included in packets sent over TCP/IP-based networks that tells the recipients how long to hold or use the packet or any of its included data before expiring and discarding the packet or data. For DNS, TTL values are used in resource records within a zone to determine how long requesting clients should cache and use this information when it appears in a query response answered by a DNS server for the zone. See also DNS server; Domain Name System (DNS); packet; resource record (RR); Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
The colored bar that moves across the screen according to the frequency of the data-collection update interval.
A certification by a trusted third party specifying that a particular message existed at a specific time and date. In a digital context, trusted third parties generate a trusted timestamp for a particular message by having a timestamping service append a time value to a message and then digitally signing the result. See also digital signature.
A feature that sets your keyboard to beep when one of the locking keys (CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK) is turned on or off. See also FilterKeys; SerialKeys.
A type of network media that connects clients in a closed ring and uses token passing to allow clients to use the network.
A thin concentric band that stores data on a hard disk. A hard disk contains multiple platters, and each platter contains many tracks. Each track is divided into units of storage called sectors. Track numbers start at 0 and progress in order with track 0 at the outer track of a hard disk. See also cylinder.
A set of networking protocols widely used on the Internet that provides communications across interconnected networks of computers with diverse hardware architectures and various operating systems. TCP/IP includes standards for how computers communicate and conventions for connecting networks and routing traffic. See also Internet Protocol (IP); protocol.
A string that specifies the transmitter subscriber ID sent by the fax machine when sending a fax to a receiving machine. This string is usually a combination of the fax or telephone number and the name of the business. It is often the same as the called subscriber ID.
A standard protocol that is used to provide secure Web communications on the Internet or intranets. It enables clients to authenticate servers or, optionally, servers to authenticate clients. It also provides a secure channel by encrypting communications. TLS is the latest and a more secure version of the SSL protocol. See also authentication; protocol; Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
A protocol that defines how data should be presented to the next receiving layer in the Windows NT and Windows 2000 networking model and packages the data accordingly. The transport protocol passes data to the network adapter driver through the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) interface and to the redirector through the Transport Driver Interface (TDI). See also Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS).
A protocol used to download the initial files needed to begin the installation process. See also protocol.
Fonts that are scalable and sometimes generated as bitmaps or soft fonts, depending on the capabilities of your printer. TrueType fonts are device-independent fonts that are stored as outlines. They can be sized to any height, and they can be printed exactly as they appear on the screen. See also font.
A logical relationship established between domains to allow pass-through authentication, in which a trusting domain honors the logon authentications of a trusted domain. User accounts and global groups defined in a trusted domain can be given rights and permissions in a trusting domain, even though the user accounts or groups don't exist in the trusting domain's directory. See also authentication; domain; global group; group; permission; user account.
A forest that is connected to another forest by explicit or transitive trust.
See definition for transmitting station ID (TSID) string.
A logical connection over which data is encapsulated. Typically, both encapsulation and encryption are performed and the tunnel is a private, secure link between a remote user or host and a private network. See also encryption; tunnel server; voluntary tunnel.
A server or router that terminates tunnels and forwards traffic to the hosts on the target network. See also router; server; tunnel.
An acronym for Technology Without An Interesting Name. An industry-standard software protocol and API that provides easy integration of image data between input devices, such as scanners and still image digital cameras, and software applications. See also application programming interface (API).
Scalable fonts designed to work with PostScript devices. See also font; PostScript.
