D DHCP Short for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol," a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. Digital Remote Digital Remote (DR) hardware devices, a variety of which are available for your HAL System, provide system users with easy control of volume, audio selection, preset recall, and more-out in the locations where the control is needed. DNS Short for Domain Name System, DNS is a directory service that translates domain names (e.g., rane.com) or host names into IP addresses. Downstream Audio channels on the expansion bus that flow away from the HAL device. F FireWire A form of connectivity similar to USB, meant to connect peripherals such as MP3 Players and digital cameras to the computer. Legacy HAL Systems used FireWire to connect EXP1 units to the HAL1 device. FireWire operates around 30 times faster than a USB 1.1 connection. FireWire is technically known as IEEE-1394. G gateway The gateway is the device that passes network data from the local network to other networks, such as the Internet. I Inverted option An option for a Toggle link participant that, when selected, reverses the behavior of the Toggle control with respect to the link value. When the link's value is true, the participant's value is false (and vice versa). 189

Toggle link maintains the toggle state (on or off). A Command link has no value.

DHCP

Short for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol," a protocol for assigning dynamic IP

addresses to devices on a network.

Digital Remote

Digital Remote (DR) hardware devices, a variety of which are available for your HAL Sys-

tem, provide system users with easy control of volume, audio selection, preset recall, and

more—out in the locations where the control is needed.

DNS

Short for Domain Name System, DNS is a directory service that translates domain names

(e.g., rane.com) or host names into IP addresses.

Downstream

Audio channels on the expansion bus that flow away from the HAL device.

FireWire

A form of connectivity similar to USB, meant to connect peripherals such as MP3 Players

and digital cameras to the computer. Legacy HAL Systems used FireWire to connect EXP1

units to the HAL1 device. FireWire operates around 30 times faster than a USB 1.1 con-

nection. FireWire is technically known as IEEE-1394.

gateway

The gateway is the device that passes network data from the local network to other networks,

such as the Internet.

Inverted option

An option for a Toggle link participant that, when selected, reverses the behavior of the Tog-

gle control with respect to the link value. When the link's value is true, the participant's value

is false (and vice versa).
