A computer terminal is a device or program connected to a computer system or network that is used to execute commands or access a remote computer. Usually in computer systems, terminal refers to a hardware device, such as a display, keyboard and mouse, used to input and output information; In a network, a terminal is a software program that connects to another computer or server over a network. Through the computer terminal, users can perform various computer operations, such as viewing files, writing code, and remotely logging in to other computers.
A terminal is a user device that acts as a data source or end point in a computer network.
2 terminal is an important part of the computer network, it can transmit data with the server through the network, and can also be used as a data source or data endpoint.
3 There are many different types of terminals, such as personal computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc., which can be connected to the network through different software or protocols to achieve data exchange and communication.
Terminal can be understood as an external device of the computer, the input and output device of the computer system. Such as: monitors, printers, etc. Now the terminal refers to no CPU, memory, only a display, controller and keyboard of a device, it can not work independently, only through the connection of the server to work, now the financial system used by the UNIX multi-user time-sharing system is through the connection of the terminal to achieve multi-user simultaneous operation.
input and output devices
Computer terminal is a kind of input and output device, relative to the computer host is a peripheral. It does not work independently, only by connecting to the server. The current terminal refers to no CPU, memory, is a CRT display, controller and keyboard into one of the devices. According to the different functions, it can be divided into smart terminals or intelligent terminals and dumb terminals. Terminals that support conversation or processing with computers are called interactive terminals or online terminals.
1, the terminal is through the TCP\/IP protocol, in order to save the cost of customer terminal, after research and development and production of professional terminal equipment, is recognized as the most suitable for customer terminal equipment.
2, the terminal, that is, the computer display terminal, is the input and output device of the computer system.
3, the computer display terminal with the centralized processing mode of the host era, and with the development of computing technology and continue to develop.
