X350 and X550 User ManualPage 52GlossaryAccess device (XD2): a multi-user computing station using NComputing patentedtechnology. It doesn't use a CPU, VGA or main chipsets. It shares the resources of thehost PC using NComputing vSpace software and a PCI card containing a system-on-a-chip (SoC).Administrator: a person who is responsible for managing a multi-user computingenvironment, such as a local area network (LAN). Administrator responsibilities typicallyinclude: installing and configuring system hardware and software, establishing andmanaging user accounts, upgrading software and performing backup and recoverytasks.Download: the network transmission of a file from one computer system to another.Ethernet: the most widely-installed local area network (LAN) technology - specified in astandard, IEEE 802.3.Firewall: a set of related programs that protect the resources of a private network fromusers on other networks and control what outside resources local users have access to.Gateway: a network point that acts as an entrance to another network.
