peer agreement (net): -1| [devices] dial home se connectent avec leurs base / avec leurs centrale Explanation: when some software "dials home" it means it tries to establish a connection with its "home" - home being another computer (accessible trough some network) from where this software was sent (openly or sneakily - by tricking the user to download some executable file) and which is waiting for a "call". In this ST it doesn't seems that any foul play is involved - these devices are simply connecting to some central repository (= their "home") from where they will download their settings. BTW: 20 - 30 years ago (before the Web) computers were most literally dialling other computers using ordinary telephone lines (by means of "dial-up modems" see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_access) - nowadays "dialling home" is more a figure of speech to say "connect with some other computer that is expecting the "call" [here = "request for connection"], through any imaginable network - most likely a TCP/IP network, private or the Web) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2018-04-03 09:49:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- le centre / le serveur central ... se connectent avec leurs base is what I prefer - you could make a parallel with military ships or airplanes staying in contact with their "base" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 days (2018-05-06 19:16:11 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_access |
