power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
RAM
Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and
quickly written and read.
IP Address
The terminal’s network address. Networks use IP addresses to determine where to
send data that is being transmitted over a network. An IP address is a 32-bit number
referred to as a series of 8-bit numbers in decimal dot notation
(e.
g., 130.24.34.03).
The highest 8-bit number you can use is 254.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
A suite of standard network protocols that were originally used in UNIX environments
but are now used in many others. The TCP governs sequenced data; the IP governs
packet forwarding. TCP/IP is the primary protocol that defines the Internet.
