IOP
three SCSI ServerNet addressable controllers (S-SACs) in a single unit. IOMF 2
CRUs are supported on G06.10 and later software release version updates (RVUs).
IOP. See input/output process (IOP).
IP. See Internet protocol (IP).
IP address. An address that uniquely identifies a specific host system within a network to
the Internet protocol (IP). An IP address consists of two parts: a network address,
which identifies the network, and a local address, which identifies the host within the
network. IP routes data between source and destination IP addresses.
iPAQ Desktop. An Internet-based computing model and business PC used for Internet
access, mainstream computing, and running the Windows 2000 Professional operating
system. The iPAQ Desktop is designed to reduce hardware and software conflicts; it
eliminates Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)/Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI) slots and uses Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports with the Windows 2000 or
Windows ME operating system.
IPC. See interprocessor communications (IPC).
IPU. See instruction processing unit (IPU).
ISO. International Organization for Standardization. ISO is an international body that drafts,
discusses, proposes, and specifies standards for network protocols. ISO is best known
for its seven-layer reference model that describes the conceptual organization of
protocols.
ISO is sometimes called the “International Standards Organization”; although ISO is
the official abbreviation, it does not correspond to the organization’s name in any
language.
ISO 646. An ISO standard for representing characters in languages based on the Roman
alphabet. Like ASCII, ISO 646 uses only 7 bits of each 8-bit byte to represent data.
Contrast with ISO 8859.
ISO 8859. A series of ISO standard 8-bit code sets used to represent languages based on
many alphabets, including Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Turkish, and Arabic. The
ISO 8859 code sets are used in international applications that must be data
transparent. ASCII is a subset of each of the ISO 8859 code sets.
ISO 10646. A universal coded character set that represents all characters and symbols from
all commonly used scripts and languages.
