Glossary
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol that enables PCs and workstations to get
temporary or permanent IP addresses from centrally-administered servers. DHCP allows a server to dynamically
assign IP addresses to workstations on the fly.
Emergency Replacement License: See HMP Software License for general information. In some situations,
you might need to get an emergency replacement license. For example, if you need to move the HMP application to
a different system due to a hardware failure, you will need an emergency replacement license. To obtain an
emergency replacement license, you must contact the Intel authorized distributor or Intel account manager from
whom you requested the original license. Because this emergency replacement license will expire, a request for a
permanent license to replace it will be placed automatically.
Evaluation License: See HMP Software License for general information. An evaluation license is free, provides
four channels for all feature components, and expires in 45 days. This license is intended to allow you to evaluate
the HMP Software. You do not need to supply a MAC address to get this license
HMP: Host Media Processing
HMP Software License: HMP Software is licensed using an industry-standard model in which a MAC address
is used to node-lock the software to a particular computer. Before you use the HMP Software, you must obtain a
license file
1
containing HMP license data. An HMP license is a file containing a combination of call control and
media processing channels. You can obtain a license file either before or after you install the HMP Software, but
you need to obtain a license file before you can proceed with using the HMP Software. The types of licenses are
defined individually: evaluation, purchased, trial, verification, and emergency replacement.
Host Media Processing: Intel NetStructure
®
Host Media Processing Software performs media processing
tasks on general-purpose servers based on Intel
®
architecture without the use of specialized hardware. When
installed on a system, the software looks like an Intel
®
Dialogic
®
board with DM3 architecture to the customer
application, but all media processing takes place on the host processor.
MAC Address: A unique 48-bit number programmed into each network interface card when it is manufactured.
This number is required when you request a trial or purchased license.
Purchased License: You can request any supported channel component combination and this license does not
expire. You must request this license from an Intel authorized dealer and supply a MAC address.
Simple Network Management Protocol: A a standard IP network mechanism for exchanging management
information between an SNMP agent and an SNMP manager. SNMP was designed to manage routers, switches and
other network devices. SNMP provides an industry standard protocol for fault and monitoring support.
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol
1. A verification license is installed with the HMP Software, activated and ready to use, but this license is only
intended to be used for verifying that the HMP Software installation was successful.
