Glossary226GlossaryLDAPThe Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a networking protocol forquerying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP.LEDA Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the statusof a machine.MAC addressMedia Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier associated with anetwork adapter. MAC address is a unique 48-bit identifier usually written as 12hexadecimal characters grouped in pairs (e. g., 00-00-0c-34-11-4e). This addressis usually hard-coded into a Network Interface Card (NIC) by its manufacturer,and used as an aid for routers trying to locate machines on large networks.MFPMulti Function Peripheral (MFP) is an office machine that includes the followingfunctionality in one physical body, so as to have a printer, a copier, a fax, ascanner and etc.MHModified Huffman (MH) is a compression method for decreasing the amount ofdata that needs to be transmitted between the fax machines to transfer theimage recommended by ITU-T T.4. MH is a codebook-based run-lengthencoding scheme optimized to efficiently compress white space. As most faxesconsist mostly of white space, this minimizes the transmission time of mostfaxes.MMRModified Modified READ (MMR) is a compression method recommended by ITU-T T.6.ModemA device that modulates a carrier signal to encode digital information, and alsodemodulates such a carrier signal to decode transmitted information.MRModified Read (MR) is a compression method recommended by ITU-T T.4. MRencodes the first scanned line using MH. The next line is compared to the first,the differences determined, and then the differences are encoded andtransmitted.
