IP Address. (Internet Protocol address) The address of a computer attached to an IP network. Every client and server
station must have a unique IP address. A 32-bit address used by a computer on a IP network. Client workstations
have either a permanent address or one that is dynamically assigned to them each session. IP addresses are written
as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.
L
LAN. Local area network. A radio network that supports data communication within a local area, such as within a
warehouse of building.
LED Indicator. A semiconductor diode (LED - Light Emitting Diode) used as an indicator, often in digital displays. The
semiconductor uses applied voltage to produce light of a certain frequency determined by the semiconductor's
particular chemical composition.
M
R
RAM. Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.
Reset. A warm boot restarts the SB1 by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved to flash memory is lost.
Resolution. The narrowest element dimension which is distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a
particular device or method.
RF. Radio Frequency.
Router. A device that connects networks and supports the required protocols for packet filtering. Routers are typically
used to extend the range of cabling and to organize the topology of a network into subnets. See Subnet.
S
SB1. In this text, SB1 refers to the Motorola smart badge. It can be set up to run as a stand-alone device, or it can be
set up to communicate with a network, using wireless radio technology.
Scan Area. Area intended to contain a symbol.
Scanner. An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the
bars and spaces of the symbol.
Scanning Mode. The bar code reader is energized, programmed and ready to read a bar code.
Start/Stop Character. A pattern of bars and spaces that provides the scanner with start and stop reading instructions
and scanning direction. The start and stop characters are normally to the left and right margins of a horizontal code.
