Terms & Acronyms Denitions and Explanations
J2RE
(Java 2 Runtime
Environment)
A set of basic programs to run applications developed in the programming
language of Java2. This set includes Java virtual machine providing
runtime environment for Java applications among others. Java applets do
not require J2RE since these are executed on Web browsers using Java
runtime environment provided on browsers. However, standalone Java
applications require Java runtime environment such as J2RE for execution.
Runtime environments can be downloaded for free of charge from the Web
site of Sun Microsystems, the Java developer.
Java A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, in the U. S. A.
Low dependent on models and OSes and runs on various platforms. Taking
advantage of this feature, many applications that runs on web servers uses
Java. The MEAP platform uses J2ME - a type of Java.
JavaScript A script language developed by Netscape Communications, in the U.S. A.,
runs on web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer.
Allows web designers to create interactive pages with HTML les such as
animated buttons and display of timetables.
Java VM
(Java Virtual Machine)
JAVA Virtual Machine. The Java byte code interpreter. The Virtual Machine
acts as an interpreter for processing the byte code using the native
instruction set.
License Access
Number
A number issued for accessing license le. The Licensing server requires
entries of application ID, expiration date/times information, and the number
of access numbers, to issue license access numbers
Licensae File A software manufacture of a MEAP application provides the users with the
license les. Species the terms of agreement that a user concludes with
the manufacturer. Required for installing a MEAP application.
LMS
(License Management
System)
The license is required for installing a MEAP application in a MEAPenabled
iR device. LMS is the server issuing [ License Files ] as well as license
access numbers.
Login Service Manages user information of MEAP device. Authenticates users with user
names and passwords. Three login services are available for MEAP device
- Default Authentication, which provides department ID control, SDL (Simple
Device Login) and SSO (Single Sign-On).
Mass Storage class Mass Storage means a storage device with large capacity, generally
secondary storage devices. Mass Storage class means USB class
classied in the secondary storage device group.
MEAP (Multifunction
Embedded Application
Platform)
Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform. Provides an environment
for executing application programs on a peripheral device. Uses the Java
platform (J2ME - Java 2 platform Micro Edition) to run Java application for
MEAP.
MEAP Contents Required to install an MEAP application to a MEAP device.
Terms & Acronyms Denitions and Explanations
MEAP Specications
(MEAP Spec Version)
MEAP Spec Version, the term used for the SDK. The version number that
shows the APIs of the MEAP platform other than CPCA, such as network
and security. The version number is not assigned for each device model.
MEAP Application Runs on MEAP platform. Consists of application les
(*.jar) and the license le (*.lic).
MEAP-enabled iR
device
iR devices with built-in MEAP platform.
MFP
(Multi Function
Peripheral)
Multi Function Peripheral. Peripheral device that supports more than one
function, such as digital copier, printer, scanner, and fax.
OSGi
(Open Service
Gateway Initiative)
Open Service Gateway Initiative. See "http://www.osgi.org/".
Portal Service The web portal to gain access to a MEAP-enabled device. This service has
been integrated in Remote UI top page in iR-ADV series.
Protocol A set of rules applied to data transmission procedures over network. Major
communication protocols include:
• FTP: File Transfer Protocol. This is a communication protocol or
protocolimplemented commands to provide le transfer between a host
and clients over TCP/IP network.
• DHCP: An upward compatible protocol of BOOTP. This communication
protocol allocates a dynamic IP address to each client machine upon
communication startup on TCP/IP network and collects the allocated IP
address when communication is completed. The server allocates one of
multiple IP addresses and noties the setup information to a client.
• BOOTP: A communication protocol to automatically load setup
information including IP address and a domain name from the server to a
client on TCP/IP network.
• RARP: A communication protocol to request IP address information via
the network adaptor address (MAC address) of a client.
• IPP: A communication protocol to execute remote printing between the
print server and clients via Internet.
• TCP/IP: A standard communication protocol required to access to
Internet and other large-scale network.
Proxy Server Provides functions to store data fetched from remote servers. When a
user request to display a web page that has been displayed and stored
in the proxy, the proxy server read the stored data but does not access
the remote server where the original page is present, for efcient access
services. When a proxy server receives a URL from a PC, it searches the
le in the cache and sends it to the PC if the requested le is found. If the
requested le is not stored in the cache, it accesses the remote server of
the URL to acquire the le and, at the same time, stores the acquired le
in the cache so that the proxy server can quickly send the le at the next
request.
Redistribution module A built-in module of an application created with SDK. Applications without
this module cannot work on MEAP platform.
