Glossary of Terms

The documentation for the IT-100 includes a variety of terms used in the realm of Information Technology. These terms describe the various features and components that are at the heart of the functionality of the IT-100, however not everyone is familiar with their definition.

Understanding the technical language used in the Express Setup Guide, the IT-100 User's Manual and the Quick Help notes will not only help you understand what features you are configuring but illustrate the full abilities of your IT-100. This glossary is continually updated as new features are added to our product.
