Terminal servers

As their names suggest, terminal servers and print servers support the use of terminals and printers on networks. They support modems and other devices as well. The primary difference between them is that terminal servers are bidirectional devices while print servers have been unidirectional devices, at least as far as data transmissions are concerned. Unlike transceivers, repeaters, or port multipliers, terminal servers and print servers are intelligent devices which have their own network addresses and perform more than just a physical connection or signal forwarding function.

The CIC connectivity standards are represented simply as the two interfaces between the POCT devices and information systems (Figure 12-11). The device interface passes patient results and QC information between the POCT instrument and devices, such as docking stations, concentrators, terminal servers, and point-of-care data managers. The latter have to be linked to a variety of information systems via the observation reporting interface or electronic data interface, for transmission of ordering information and patient results.

Once the need for a network has been determined, the locations of terminals, servers, and information storage equipment must be established. Local area networks (LANs) and the worldwide web (WWW, or Internet) can link access points located in adjacent rooms or halfway around the world. However, it is critical that the network uses consistent computer and data transmittal protocols in order to provide uninterrupted, information handling in an efficient manner. For example, serial communication via an RS-232 port is relatively common, but too slow for most machine applications. Ethernet communication via transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) is a preferred method because most equipment suppliers offer this network option. The TCP/IP method allows computers to share resources, no matter whether the operating system is for an Apple , a version of the Microsoft operating system for PCs, or the UNIX operating system. Also, the Semiconductor Equipment Communication Standard (SECS)/Generic Equipment Model (GEM) is widely used as the interface between the host computer and assembly machines. 

Other putative flp genes were identified using search strings comprising C-terminal tetrapeptides of known FaRPs plus a C-terminal G (amide donor) residue in searches of the C. elegans BLAST server, wormpep 17. 

Biometrics can be used in granting the remote access to the network. The scenario employs a common client-server network model, thus incorporating standard security mechanisms with biometric enhancements. The client terminal (see Figure 9) is a biometric-based host, equipped with the capturing device and the processing unit that measures the biometric trait and calculates the features vector (biometric template). The client capabilities may be understood in a wider sense, thus enabling the client to be equipped with sensors related to more than one biometric modality. The proposed access scenario enables to include the aliveness detection capability and the biometric replay attack prevention. To insert the necessary elements into the communication flow, capture-dependent parameters will be retrieved by the client terminal prior to the biometric trait measurement. 

Fig. 1. Comparison of the three-dimensional structures of human Interleukin-8 (green) MCP-1 (blue) and Fractalkine (EST Z44443) (red). The 11-8 structure is taken from the Protein Database (PDB) entry (1IL8), and the MCP-1 structure is a model built of the NMR structure of MI P-l (> (PDB entry 1HUM). The intrachain disulfide bonds are shown in yellow. The model for the chemokine domain of Fractalkine was built using the SwissModel server (16,17). As can be seen the three structures show a large degree of conservation of the overall structure, despite a relatively low level of primary sequence identity. The additional three amino acids in Fractalkine are accommodated as a 310 helix between the two N-terminal cysteines. The steric requirements here presumably forbid a CX2C motif.

TBP sequences are available from the NCBI server (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) for organisms representing archaea and the four kingdoms of eukarya. In all cases, the amino acid sequences contain a conserved C-terminal domain of 180 amino acids, and a variable N-terminus, ranging from 1 to 172 residues. The C-terminal domain appears to have arisen by duplication of an ancestor protein before the separation of archaea and eukarya, dividing this domain in two subdomains with -40% identity in sequence [1]. 

In the last section in this chapter, you learned about Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) drives. SCSI drives aren t normally found in desktop PCs they are more commonly found in servers because of their increased performance (and corresponding increased price). In this section you learned about the different types of SCSI buses. You also learned how to properly install and configure a SCSI disk, including how to properly terminate a SCSI bus and how to set the SCSI ID of a device.
