ClearPath IX Systems Installation and Configuration Guide

Glossary
Integration Expert
The online integration assistant for effectively using ClearPath IX servers and creating
solutions for business problems. Integration Expert (formerly PathMate) contains a
Windows Help application that explains and runs the other built-in components including a
package of tools, working prototype solutions, procedures, and product configuration aids.
Intel node
A computer in a ClearPath IX server that uses Intel processors and supports either
Windows NT or UnixWare operating systems. A ClearPath IX server can contain from one
to four Intel nodes. See also node, Windows NT node, and UnixWare node.
Intel processing complex cabinet (IPCC)
The cabinet housing the Intel nodes in a ClearPath IX server. See also Intel node.
interconnect
Private network that connects nodes in a ClearPath IX server. See also internal LAN.
internal LAN
The link that provides a private interconnect between nodes in a ClearPath IX server.
Internet protocol (IP) addresses assigned to the nodes are from a block of addresses
reserved for private internets by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
The central coordinator for assigning new Internet-wide IP addresses and other unique
parameter values for Internet protocols such as domain names, port numbers, and
management information base (MIB) object identifiers.
internet protocol (IP)
The routing or network layer of the TCP/IP architecture. IP is based on MIL–STD-1777
specifications for the Defense Data Network system. IP is a connectionless datagram
protocol that routes data to host systems within a complex system of multiple network
nodes and interconnected networks.
interrupt request lines (IRQ)
Hardware lines over which devices can send signals to get the attention of the processor
when the device is ready to accept or send information.
intranet
IOE
IP
A private, enterprise-wide network that uses TCP/IP and Web technologies.
See Integrated Operating Environment.
See instruction processor and TCP/IP.
IP address
The 32-bit address assigned to hosts in a TCP/IP internet. An IP address identifies the
network to which a host is attached, as well as a specific host on that network. The IP
address usually is represented in dotted decimal notation (for example, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
with each part (xxx) being a decimal number from 0 to 255 (represented by 8 bits).
