TCP/IP
Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A system for
transferring information over a computer network containing dissimilar systems,
such as systems running Windows and UNIX.
termination
Some devices (such as the last device at each end of a SCSI cable) must be
terminated to prevent reflections and spurious signals in the cable. When such
devices are connected in a series, you may need to enable or disable the
termination on these devices by changing jumper or switch settings on the devices
or by changing settings in the configuration software for the devices.
text editor
An application program for editing text files consisting exclusively of ASCII
characters. Windows Notepad is a text editor, for example. Most word processors
use proprietary file formats containing binary characters, although some can read
and write text files.
TFTP
Abbreviation for Trivial File Transfer Protocol. TFTP is a version of the TCP/IP
FTP protocol that has no directory or password capability.
text mode
A video mode that can be defined as x columns by y rows of characters.
threshold values
Systems are normally equipped with various sensors that monitor temperature,
voltage, current, and fan speed. The sensor's threshold values specify the ranges
(min and max values) for determining whether the sensor is operating under
normal, noncritical, critical or fatal conditions. Server Administrator-supported
threshold values are
• UpperThresholdFatal
• UpperThresholdCritical
• UpperThresholdNon-critical
• Normal
• LowerThresholdNon-critical
• LowerThresholdCritical
• LowerThresholdFatal
