An NFS utility that lets you share directories with other systems as if the directory resided on your own disk.
The area of the calling window into which you place icons of the people you want to call.
The amount of data that can be sent over the network per second. InPerson tracks bandwidth in kilobits per second.
The targeted amount of information per second that InPerson can send over the network. That is, the limit set in the Call Control or Preferences panels, or the limit InPerson sets by default. When the bandwidth limit is changed, it can affect the video frame rate and quality, the audio quality, CPU usage, and the compression schemes.
The CPU (central processing unit) is the chip that proccesses data. The more a system's CPU is being used, the more programs running on the system will be slowed down. The speed at which a system runs also depends on the type and version of the CPU.
The collection of windows and icons that appears on your computer screen. You can create multiple desks and switch between them. When you switch from one desk to another, the screen changes, almost as if you had several different monitors.
The screen background.
A group of hosts on a network whose hostnames have the same suffix.
A desk is the collection of windows and icons that appears on your computer screen. You can create multiple desks and switch between them. The global desk exists so that you can place any window on it that you want to appear on all of your desks.
If you frequently call a certain collection of people, you can save the collection as a named group. The list of individual user icons is replaced with one group icon.
A directory in which you create and store your work. Usually, the home directory is named /usr/people/<loginname>, where loginname is the name of your login account. A folder icon for your home directory appears on the desktop by default.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lets you communicate with other systems and networks via a telephone line that uses digital, instead of analog, signals.
LAN stands for Local Area Network (for example, Ethernet). There are also high-speed LANs (for example, FDDI/CDDI, ATM).
On the InPerson control panels, network bandwidth refers to the allowed bandwidth range. Next to the Network Bandwidth label, you click on the type of network you use, then InPerson sets a bandwidth range that works best with your network type.
NFS stands for Network File System. A networking software option. It lets you access files and directories that reside on the disks of other workstations as if they resided on a local disk in your own workstation.
Your performance preference refers to whether you have selected Optimize quality or Optimize frame rate from the control panel. By default, InPerson chooses Optimize quality.
The shelf is a place for you to put icons that you want to exchange with other people in the conference. To open the shelf, choose “ Shelf” from the Call menu. Drag icons you want to share onto this shelf. Each person needs to open the shelf if she wants to see the icon.
T1 (used primarily in North America) is a 1.544 Mbps digital telephone line. E1 (especially used in Europe) is a 2.048 Mbps digital telephone line.
The picture of yourself that appears in the participant display area.
The whiteboard is similar to the whiteboard or chalkboard you might find in a conference room. Each person in the conference has a marker, or piece of chalk, that she can use to sketch and write notes on the board. People can also take screen snapshots and place them on the board. For example, suppose you want your co-workers to review your design for a new software product. You can take a snapshot of the window you've designed; then place it on the whiteboard where everyone can annotate it
