ac adapter  A connector that provides external power (not 
battery power) to your HP Jornada. For information 
about installing and using the ac adapter, see the 
Setting up your HP Jornada section in chapter 2. 
ActiveSync  Software from Microsoft that manages data 
synchronization between your HP Jornada and desktop 
PC. You can specify the type of data you want to 
synchronize. 
backup file  A duplicate copy of your HP Jornada files and 
data that is stored on your desktop PC or on a PC Card. 
This file does not include your HP Jornada settings and 
information stored in ROM, such as factory-installed 
software. Use your backup file to restore your 
HP Jornada to its previous state if your device data is 
damaged or destroyed or if you have performed a factory 
default reset. 
cache  A special high-speed storage mechanism that saves 
temporary copies of Web pages and other file types as 
you view them. Your computer can quickly display Web 
pages you have recently visited, because Internet 
Explorer can open them from cache instead of having to 
load them again from the Web. Increasing the space 
designated for your cache folder increases how quickly 
recently visited files are displayed, but decreases the 
amount of space available for other files on your 
HP Jornada. You can choose to empty your cache upon 
exiting Internet Explorer. This saves space on your 
device. 
cookies  A packet of messages a Web server passes to your 
Web browser. When you enter a Web site that uses  
						

							178 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC 
 
cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form with 
information such as your name and interests. This 
information is passed to your Internet Explorer browser 
as a cookie (in the form of a text file called cookie.txt). 
The next time you visit that Web site, Internet Explorer 
will pass the cookie back to the Web server, and the 
server will use this information to present you, for 
instance, with custom Web pages filled with information 
of interest to you. For example, instead of being 
presented with a generic welcome page, you might 
receive a welcome page with your name on it. 
dial-up connection  A connection between your 
HP Jornada and another computer by modem. You can 
have a dial-up connection with an ISP, a network, or 
with a modem attached to a PC. 
direct connection  A connection between your 
HP Jornada and another computer by means of the 
serial sync cable, USB cable or IR port. 
docking cradle (optional on the HP Jornada 710) Place 
your HP Jornada in the docking cradle for instant 
connectivity with your PC partner. Once you have seated 
your HP Jornada into the docking cradle you can sync 
with your PC partner, transfer documents, send e-mail 
and charge your main battery. 
DNS (Domain Name System)  An Internet service that 
translates domain names into IP addresses. For 
example, the domain name www.jornada.com might 
translate as 198.125.247.4.  
factory default reset  A process that returns your HP 
Jornada to its original state by removing all power, 
thereby erasing all files and data you have saved. For 
more information, see the Resetting section in chapter 
8. (Also called “hard reset.”) 
hard icons The icons located along the right side of your 
touch screen are hard icons. Tap these icons to open the

HP settings, HP backup, HP dialup and Windows Media 
Player applications. 
hot keys  The keys in the top row of the Jornada keyboard, 
just below the display screen. Hot keys provider one-
touch access to the most frequently used programs on 
your HP Jornada 
Internet Service Provider (ISP) A company that 
provides access to the Internet. 
IP (Internet Protocol)  Specifies the format of packets, 
also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme of the 
Web. Much like a postal system, IP allows you to address 
a package and drop it into the system, but your package 
is not delivered instantly to your recipient. The packets 
are simply delivered to a server until the recipient 
downloads them by logging onto the ISP server. 
IrDA (Infrared Data Association)  An international 
standard for the hardware and software used in infrared 
communication links. 
Java  An object-oriented programming language used to 
create applications that run on client or server 
computers, and applets for use as part of a Web page. 
LAN (Local area network)  A group of computers, 
usually in close proximity (either in the same building or 
in buildings in close proximity), that are linked together 
to share files and exchange data. 
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)  A 
standard that allows binary data (such as graphics or 
documents) to be transmitted over the Internet without 
first being translated into ASCII text. Many e-mail 
programs use MIME to allow files to be sent or received 
as attachments to e-mail messages. 
NIC (Network interface card)  A card that is installed in 
a computer so that it can be connected to a network.  
						

							180 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC 
 
Network interface cards can provide a dedicated, full-
time connection to a network. 
ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity)  A standard 
database access method. The goal of ODBC is to make it 
possible to access any data from any application, 
regardless of which database management system is 
handling the data. 
partnership  An established relationship between your 
HP Jornada and your PC for the purpose of 
synchronizing and transferring data. Your HP Jornada 
can have partnerships with up to two desktop 
computers. 
PCT (Private Communication Technology)  A protocol 
that maintains the security and integrity of Internet 
communications by using encryption, authentication, 
and message-authentication codes. The protocol is 
application independent, and is used by Web browsers 
and e-mail clients to send data via the Internet. PCT is 
able to negotiate encryption keys as well as authenticate a 
server before data is exchanged by the higher level application.  
POP (Post Office Protocol)  The first protocol used to 
retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail 
applications (sometimes called e-mail clients) use the 
POP protocol, although some may use the newer IMAP 
(Internet Message Access Protocol).  
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)  The default method your 
HP Jornada uses to communicate with the ISP network 
server. 
ROM (Read Only Memory)  Computer memory 
containing data that normally can only be read, not 
written to, containing the programming that allows your 
computer to start up each time you turn it on. Unlike 
random access memory (RAM)
, the data in ROM is not 
lost when power is turned off.  
						

							Glossary | 181 
  
RAM (Random Access Memory)  Memory that holds 
data and programs while a device is powered on, often 
referred to as volatile memory because all information 
is erased when power is off. 
RAS (Remote Access Service) account   A network 
account that enables your HP Jornada to access your 
Windows NT network remotely. 
remote connection   A connection between your 
HP Jornada and a remote computer or server.  
reset  A process that either causes your HP Jornada to 
restart (soft reset) or causes all data stored in RAM to 
be erased (factory default reset). For more 
information, see the Resetting section in chapter 8. 
restore  A process that returns your device to the state it 
was in when last backed up. This involves copying your 
backup data to your HP Jornada. 
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol)  An older and 
simpler protocol than PPP. Connecting to the Internet 
via SLIP is very similar to connecting via PPP. 
soft reset  The process of restarting your HP Jornada and 
reinitializing the MS Windows for H/PC 2000 operating 
system. Performing a soft reset will erase any unsaved 
data in open documents, but will preserve data that has 
been saved. (Also called “warm boot.”) 
stylus  A pen-like utensil designed for navigating on a 
touch screen.  
touch screen  A touch-sensitive screen that allows you to 
open files, launch programs, and select text by touching 
or tapping the screen with the stylus. 
USB (Universal serial bus)  A standardized connection 
method and cabling protocol for connecting peripherals 
and other devices to standalone computers.
