- SCInterface
- SCInterface Control Interface. A three tiered architecture. First tier: User Interface. Second: SCInterface Control Manager (SCM). Third tier: SCInterface Controller(SC).
- SCInterface Controller (SC)
- The lowest level of the SCInterface architecture. One SC installed on a server or device can control any number of servers. The SC listens for commands from the SCM, and sends SCM the results of all operations.
- SCInterface Control Manager (SCM)
- The brain of SCInterface. The second tier in the SCInterface architecture.
- User Interface
- The graphical environment used to interact with SCInterface.
- Application or "App"
- A program run by a computer or device. SCInterface can control any type of program or script on any device that supports XML communication.
- CLI
- Command Line Interface
- Host Machine
- The actual physical machine on which a program resides. If you install an application on a computer, then that computer is the host machine for the application you installed.
- SConnector
- SCInterface Connector. Provides a set of methods for controlling an application. These methods are passed to the SC for execution. SConnector categories include: Sensors, etc.
- SC Credits
- SCInterface Controller Credits. When users purchase a license to run an SCM, they must be allocated a number of SC Credits. Each SCcredit allows you to run one SC, effectively giving you control over any applications on one server or device. SC Credits only count against enabled SCs, so you may have additional disabled SCs that may be "swapped" with a running SC.
- Privileges / Permissions or "Privs"
- Almost every action in SCInterface requires a user to have the appropriate privileges. This allows administrators a great degree of security and flexibility in the way they control their resources.
- SCIML
- SCInterface Control Interface Markup Language. XML-based language used to communicate between the second (SCM) and first (user interface) tiers.
- SCML
- SCInterface Controller Markup Language. XML-based language used to communicate between the second (SCM) tiers and third (SC) tiers.
- XML
- Extensible Markup Language. The basis for the SCIML and SCML communications protocols used within SCInterface.
