2.3 Definition of Terms
The software that is used within the automation platform IndraWorks for
remote controlling of PC systems.
The PC from which the connection to the control unit to be monitored is
established is termed the service PC. The screen content of the control
unit is displayed in parallel on the screen of the service PC during a
remote session. The control unit can be monitored and/or operated from
the service PC.
The PC, that can be remote-controlled resp. observed by a service PC, is
referred to as Client PC resp. Control PC.
Modulator/Demodulator
Communication device for transmitting information via the telephone
network. A modem converts (modulates) digital data into analog signals
for transmission via telephone lines. These signals are reconverted
(demodulated) into digital signals at the other end of the line. Modems
can transmit data with various speeds or transmission rates.
Local Area Network
A spatially limited network. In practice, spatially limited usually means a
building or part of a building (floor) that is under the control of the owner.
Wide Area Network
WANs consist of several LANs that are connected to each other via
remote lines. Such connections can be established, e.g. by dial-up
connections, ISDN, X.25 or a great variety of dedicated lines.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server
A protocol for dynamically assigning IP addresses within the LAN. Each
client computer within the network is configured in such a way that it
draws its IP address from the DHCP server when the system starts up.
Furthermore, additional address information (IP address of the WINS
server, etc.) is distributed to the clients by the DHCP server.
