N_SIGHT R900 User’s Manual for the Neptune Handheld System G-3
GB An abbreviation for gigabyte. One gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes.
highlighted Describes an item that is selected. When you select an item in a menu, the
handheld lets you kno
w that it has been selected by accenting the item with a

for example, the N_SIGHT R900 host computer contains all N_SIGHT R900
data to which the billing computer and other PC operators can connect.

letter/character keys Keys on the keypad of the handheld that allow you to enter a letter or a charac-
ter in the handheld display. Letter/character keys are the small, rectangular
keys on the bottom po
rtion of the keypad.
local-area network A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most local-area net-
works (LANs) are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However,
one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone
lines and radio waves. A system of LANs connected in this way is called a
wide-area network (WAN).
Most LANs connect
WORKSTATIONS and PERSONAL COMPUTERS. Each node
(individual computer) in a LAN has its own central processing unit with which it
carries out programs, but it is also able to access data and devices anywhere
on the LAN. This means that many users can share expensive devices, such
as laser printers, as well as data. Users can also use the LAN to communicate
with each other by sending e-mail.
location code An arrangement of up to four numbers, letters, or both numbers and letters
that tel
l where a meter is located. For example, a code of “carp” might be used
to indicate that a meter is located in the carport of a home. See also code
tables.
menu screen A type of SCREEN that contains a list of items from which to choose.
message screen A type of
SCREEN that displays a message.
