Glossary

ADSL

Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a new modem technology that

converts existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for high-speed

communication of various sorts.

Auto-MDI/MDIX

On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port automatically senses if it

needs to act as a MDI or MDIX port. The auto- MDI/MDIX capability eliminates

the need for crossover cables.

Auto-negotiate

To automatically determine the correct setting. The term is often used with

communications and networking

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for

automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used

to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration

parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other

configuration information such as the addresses for printer, time and news

servers.

DMZ

In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small

network inserted as a "neutral zone" between a company's private network and

the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access

to a server that stores company data. Typically, the DMZ contains devices

accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP

(e-mail) servers and DNS servers.

DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service.

DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP addresses, and

to control Internet email delivery. Most Internet services rely on DNS to work. If

DNS fails, web sites cannot be located and email delivery service will be

suspended.

Dynamic IP Address

An IP address is automatically assigned to a user’s AP in a TCP/IP network

typically by a DHCP server.

58

Firewall

A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network.

Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination

of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users

from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets.

All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which

examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified

security criteria.

Gateway

A device, usually a Router, that connects hosts on a local network to other

networks.

IP Address

Every PC on the Internet has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address.

A typical IP address looks like this: 216.27.61.137

IPSec

IPSec stands for IP Security. It provides authentication and encryption over the

Internet. It functions at Layer 3 and thus secures everything on the network. It

has become a standard protocol used for virtual private networks (VPNs).

MAC Address

On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access

Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. Usually written

as: 01:23:45:67:89:ab

MTU

The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be sent or received.

NAT

A technique by which several hosts share a single IP address for accessing the

Internet.

Ping (Packet Internet Groper)

A utility to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by

sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING is used

primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.

SSID

SSID is the name representing the Router in WLAN.

59

PPPoE

Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the

Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

Router

A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at

least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP

network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more

networks connect.

Subnet Mask

A mask used to determine which subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP

address has two components, the network address and the host address.

Subnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of

the address into two or more subnets.

TCP/IP

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), the suite of

communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.

VPN

Virtual private networks are secured private network connections, built on top of

publicly accessible infrastructure, such as the Internet or the public telephone

network. VPNs typically employ some combination of encryption, digital

certificates, strong user authentication and access control to provide security to

the traffic they carry. They usually provide connectivity to many machines

behind a gateway or firewall.

WAN

Wide Area Network, a communication network that covers a relatively broad

geographic area, consisting of two or more LANs. Broadband communication

over the WAN is often through public networks such as the ADSL or Cable

systems, or through leased lines or satellites. To simplify it, please image

network as a WAN.

WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a

64/128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Regulatory

CE Mark Warning:

This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause

radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
