GLOSSARY

802.11b

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 11

Mbps. The standard provides for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. The rates

will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

802.11g

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 54

Mbps. The standard provides for 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The

rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

10BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted

pair cable.

100BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair

cable.

Access Point

An Access Point is a device through which wireless clients connect to other

wireless clients and which acts as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired

network, such as Ethernet. Wireless clients can be moved anywhere within the

coverage area of the access point and still connect with each other. If con-

nected to an Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic and

forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to the wireless network, while also

monitoring wireless client radio traffic and forwarding wireless client messages

to the Ethernet LAN.

Channel

Similar to any radio device, the Wireless Cable/DSL router allows you to choose

different radio channels in the wireless spectrum. A channel is a particular fre-

quency within the 2.4GHz spectrum within which the Router operates.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP

address for every computer on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 and

Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP addresses to workstations on

a network. These assignments are made by the DHCP server software that

runs on Windows NT Server, and Windows 95 and Windows 98 will call the

server to obtain the address. Windows 98 will allocate itself an address if no

DHCP server can be found.

DNS Server Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to

have a domain name (such as pirelli.com) and one or more IP addresses (such

as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their

respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is

requested (as in typing “pirelli.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent

to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on

your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

DSL

Short for digital subscriber line, but is commonly used in reference to the

asymmetric version of this technology (ADSL) that allows data to be sent over

existing copper telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiv-

ing data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when send-

ing data (known as the upstream rate). ADSL requires a special ADSL modem.

ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world gain access.

DSL modem

DSL stands for digital subscriber line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone

lines to send and receive data at high speeds.

Encryption

A method for providing a level of security to wireless data transmissions. The

Router uses two levels of encryption; 40/64 bit and 128 bit. 128 bit is a more

powerful level of encryption than 40/64 bit.

Ethernet

A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment

Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of

10 Mbps over a variety of cables.

Firewall

Electronic protection that prevents anyone outside of your network from seeing

your files or damaging your computers.
