Network Access Point
(NAP)
Network exchange point equipped with large-scale switching
facilities and serving as a connection point between individual
Internet Service Providers
Network Address
Translation (NAT)
A system for reusing IP addresses - The process of modifying
network address information in datagram packet headers,
while in transit, across a router, in order to remap a given
address space into another.
Network Time Protocol
(NTP)
NTP is a protocol designed to synchronize the clocks of
computers over a network. The time servers operate in a
hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize
local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards
via wire or radio.
Open Mobile Alliance
(OMA)
OMA DM (device Management) is a protocol specified by Open
Mobile Alliance (OMA) for Device Management purposes, by the
Device Management Working Group and the Data
Synchronization (DS) Working Group.
Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing
(OFDM)
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM allows
multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the
bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
Physical Layer Device
(PHY)
The term used for a transceiver in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet systems.
Plain Old Telephone
Service (POTS)
Standard analog telephone service, regular telephone line
without extra enhancements
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet: A specification for providing both power
and data to low-power network devices using a single Category
5 Ethernet cable. PoE provides greater flexibility in the locating
of Wi²s and network devices, and significantly decreased
installation costs.
Point to Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP)
This protocol enables the transfer of data packets of TCP / IP
through a foreign network that is not based on these protocols
(by marking the packet with an address suited to the foreign
network)
Quadrature Phase Shift
Keying (QPSK)
A digital modulation scheme that conveys data by changing, or
modulating, the phase of a reference signal (the carrier wave).

Received signal strength
indication (RSSI)
A measurement of the power present in a received radio signal.
RSSI is generic radio receiver technology metric, which is
usually invisible to the user of device containing the receiver,
but is directly known to users of wireless networking of
IEEE 802.11 protocol family.
Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP)
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) defines a standardized
packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet.
Real-time Transport
Control Protocol (RTCP)
Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) is a sister protocol
of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).
RTCP provides out-of-band control information for an RTP
flow. It partners RTP in the delivery and packaging of
multimedia data, but does not transport any data itself. It is
used periodically to transmit control packets to participants in
a streaming multimedia session. The primary function of RTCP
is to provide feedback on the quality of service being provided
by RTP.
RTS Threshold
Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of
each other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node
Problem”. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS
Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.
Service Set Identifier
(SSID)
An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless
LAN and functions as a password for joining a particular radio
cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS).
Session Key
Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to
authenticate a client connection, and correlate traffic passing
between a specific client and the AU-EZ.
Shared Key
A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached
to a wireless network. Shared Key authentication must be used
along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.
Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP)
An application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating,
modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more
participants. It can be used to create two-party, multiparty, or
multicast sessions that include Internet telephone calls,
multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol:
The application
protocol in the Internet suite of protocols which offers network
management services.

Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP)
SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic
updates from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates
can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be received
via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.
Single Input Single
Output (SISO)
A form of antenna technology for wireless communications in
which a single antenna at both the transmitter and at the
destination (receiver) are used.
Subscriber Station
A general term for a customer’s WIMAX terminal equipment
that provides connectivity with a base station.
TR-069 (Technical Report
069)
A DSL Forum technical specification entitled CPE WAN
Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer
protocol for remote management of end-user devices.
It provides the communication between CPE and Auto
Configuration Servers (ACS).
Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP)
Trivial File Transfer Protocol:
A TCP/IP protocol commonly
used for software downloads.
Transport Layer Security
(TLS)
A cryptographic protocol that provides security for
communications over networks such as the Internet. TLS
encrypts the segments of network connections at the Transport
Layer end-to-end.
Point to Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP)
protocol that enables the transfer of data packets of TCP / IP
through a foreign network that is not based on these protocols
(by marking the packet with an address suited to the foreign
network)
Unsolicited Grant Service
(UGS)
One of the five QoS service types defined in the IEEE 802.16
WiMAX. It is designed to support real-time service flows that
generate fixed-size data packets on a periodic basis, such as
T1/E1 and Voice over IP without silence suppression.
User Datagram Protocol
(UDP))
Protocol with no connection required between sender and
receiver that allows sending of data packets on the Internet
(thought unreliable because it cannot ensure the packets will
arrive undamaged or in the correct order)

Universal Plug and Play
Internet Gateway Device
(UPnP IGD)
A set of networking protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum.
The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly
and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home
and in corporate environments for simplified installation of
computer components.
UTP
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
VoicE Activity Detection
(VAD
Enables the detection of periods of silence in the audio stream so that it is not
transmitted over the network.
Virtual Private Network
(VPN)
A private communications network that is based on the public
network and uses information security and channeling
protocol in order to maintain security of information
transferred over the general network.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
Communications network intended to connect between remote
local area networks
Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP)
Wired Equivalent Privacy:
WEP is based on the use of security
keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless
devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.
Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP)
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open international
standard for application-layer network communications in a
wireless-communication environment. Most use of WAP
involves accessing the mobile web from any mobile device
or
phone.
