Port Mapping

Port Mapping is an advanced WinRoute feature that allows servers to be hosted securely behind

NAT. Internet servers listen on well-known ports for uninitiated connections. In other words, the

server does not know in advance from where a connection may come. Examples of well known

ports include HTTP (TCP port 80), SMTP (TCP port 25), and Telnet (TCP port 23). If these types

of well-known services should be available to the Internet, then port mapping must be used to

allow NAT to make exceptions for these services by redirecting these inbound connections to the

appropriate local server.

Residential Gateway

A residential gateway (or home gateway), is a hardware device connecting a home network with a

wide area network or the Internet. The residential gateway provides network address translation,

allowing all the computers in a small network to share one IP address and Internet connection.

The residential gateway may sit between the modem and the internal network, or a DSL or cable

modem may be integrated into the residential gateway. A residential gateway often combines the

functions of an IP router, firewall, multi-port Ethernet switch and Wi-Fi access point. Residential

gateways that include routing capabilities are converged devices and sometimes referred to as

home routers or broadband routers with "broadband" in this case referring not to the router

function but the Internet access function. Residential gateways are standardized by the Home

Gateway Initiative (HGI).

RJ-11

RJ11 is a physical interface often used for terminating telephone wires. It is probably the most

familiar of the registered jacks, being used for single line POTS telephone jacks in most homes

and offices in North America and many other countries

RJ-45

The RJ-45 connector is commonly used for network cabling and for telephony applications.

It’s

also used for serial connections in special cases.

Static Route

Static routing describes a system that does not implement adaptive routing. In these systems,

routes through a data network are described by fixed paths (statically). These routes are usually

entered into the router by the system administrator.

T

Telnet

A network protocol used on the Internet or local area network connections. It was developed in

1969 beginning with RFC 15 and standardized as IETF STD 8, one of the first Internet standards.

TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a very simple file transfer protocol, with the functionality

of a very basic form of FTP; it was first defined in 1980. Since it is so simple, it is easy to

implement using a very small amount of memory ± an important consideration at that time.

TFTP was therefore useful for booting computers such as routers which did not have any data

storage devices. It is still used to transfer small files between hosts on a network, such as when a

remote X-Window System terminal or any other thin client boots from a network host or server

Twisted pair

Twisted pair cabling is a form of wiring in which two conductors are wound together for the

purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources; for instance,

electromagnetic radiation from unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, and crosstalk between

neighboring pairs
