programs support the ANSI terminal mode and often default to this terminal emulation for dial-up
connections to online services.
ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters,
numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.
Association. The process of determining the viability of the wireless connection and establishing a wireless
network's root and designated access points. A mobile computer associates with its wireless network as
soon as it is powered on or moves into range.
Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code.
After this determination is made, the information content is decoded.
B
Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.
Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in
machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start
character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within
this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.
Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).
Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.
Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge
of the same bar.
Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one
byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.
Bluetooth. A low-cost, short-range radio link between two devices. Bluetooth can replace cables and can be
used to create ad hoc networks and provide a standard way to connect devices.
Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one
byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
bps. See Bits Per Second.
Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a
specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order
bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.
BOOTP. A protocol for remote booting of diskless devices. Assigns an IP address to a machine and may specify
a boot file. The client sends a bootp request as a broadcast to the bootp server port (67) and the bootp
server responds using the bootp client port (68). The bootp server must have a table of all devices,
associated MAC addresses and IP addresses.
