2 device
A piece of equipment that is running an operating system. -
3 smart device

4 .inf file
"A file created for a particular adapter that provides the operating system with information required to set up a device, such as a list of valid logical configurations for the device, the names of driver files associated with the device, and so on. An.inf file is provided typically on a disk by the device manufacturer or may be included in the operating system."ملف.inf -
5 information file
"A file created for a particular adapter that provides the operating system with information required to set up a device, such as a list of valid logical configurations for the device, the names of driver files associated with the device, and so on. An.inf file is provided typically on a disk by the device manufacturer or may be included in the operating system." -
6 HAL
"A thin layer of software provided by the hardware manufacturer that hides, or abstracts, hardware differences from higher layers of the operating system. By means of the filter provided by the HAL, different types of hardware look alike to the rest of the operating system. This enables the operating system to be portable from one hardware platform to another. The HAL also provides routines that enable a single device driver to support the same device on all platforms." -
7 hardware abstraction layer
"A thin layer of software provided by the hardware manufacturer that hides, or abstracts, hardware differences from higher layers of the operating system. By means of the filter provided by the HAL, different types of hardware look alike to the rest of the operating system. This enables the operating system to be portable from one hardware platform to another. The HAL also provides routines that enable a single device driver to support the same device on all platforms."English-Arabic terms dictionary > hardware abstraction layer

8 firmware
The software that is embedded in a hardware device and controls how the device interacts with the operating system. -
9 configuration
"In reference to a single microcomputer, the sum of a system's internal and external components, including memory, disk drives, keyboard, video, and generally less critical add-on hardware, such as a mouse, modem, or printer. Software (the operating system and various device drivers), the user's choices established through configuration files such as the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files on IBM PCs and compatibles, and sometimes hardware (switches and jumpers) are needed to ""configure the configuration"" to work correctly. Although system configuration can be changed, as by adding more memory or disk capacity, the basic structure of the system--its architecture--remains the same." -
10 fault
"A physical defect, such as a loose connection, that prevents a system or device from operating as it should." -
11 Serial Keys
"A feature of Windows operating systems that, in conjunction with a communications aid interface device, allows keystrokes and mouse controls to be accepted through a computer's serial port. It also allows the user to control the computer using alternative input devices as if they were using a standard keyboard and mouse." -
12 WDL
A collection of hardware device drivers for a Microsoft Windows operating system that were not included in the original Windows package. -
13 Microsoft Windows Driver Library
A collection of hardware device drivers for a Microsoft Windows operating system that were not included in the original Windows package.English-Arabic terms dictionary > Microsoft Windows Driver Library
-
14 memory address
A portion of computer memory that can be allocated to a device or used by a program or the operating system. Devices are usually allocated a range of memory addresses. -
15 logical printer
"The software interface between the operating system and the printer in Windows. While a printer is the device that does the actual printing, a logical printer is its software interface on the print server. This software interface determines how a print job is processed and how it is routed to its destination (to a local or network port, to a file, or to a remote print share). When you print a document, it is spooled (or stored) on the logical printer before it is sent to the printer itself." -
16 wireless communication
"Communication between a computer and another computer or device without wires. The form of wireless communication provided as part of the Windows operating system uses infrared (IR) light to transmit files. Radio frequencies, as used by cellular and cordless telephones, are another form of wireless communication." -
17 Pocket PC
"A mobile, larger form-factor computing device small enough to fit in a coat pocket that uses the Microsoft Windows CE or Windows Mobile operating system." -
18 Windows Driver Library
A collection of hardware device drivers for a Microsoft Windows operating system that were not included in the original Windows package. -
19 extent
"On a disk or other direct-access storage device, a continuous block of storage space reserved by the operating system for a particular file or program." -
20 turn off
"To remove power from a computer (or other device), either by a physical switch or through operating system software."
