standalone HP logic analyzer
that
is
not
part of
the
HP 16500 logic analy-
sis system.
client
A computer or program

is configured to use services pro-
vided by
another

have client capabilities.
Ethernet

adheres
to
the IEEE 802.3 Local Area Net-
work standard.
Ethernet
Address
A hexadecimal
number which is used to identify a

ftp
(File Transfer Protocol) A
service
that
allows you
to

host
A
computer
on a network.
When controlling
the
logic analyzer,
your
computer
is considered
the
host.
host

trator
will
need
to
assign an
IP
address.
mount
The
method
used
in
NFS
and
other network protocols to gain
