Appendix E: Glossary
Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge
IPCONFIG
- A Windows 2000 and XP utility that displays the IP address for a particular networking device.
IPSec
(Internet Protocol Security) - A VPN protocol used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer.
ISM band
- Radio band used in wireless networking transmissions.
ISP
(Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
LAN
(Local Area Network) - The computers and networking products that make up the network in your home or
office.
MAC
(Media Access Control) Address - The unique address that a manufacturer assigns to each networking
device.
Mbps
(Megabits Per Second) - One million bits per second; a unit of measurement for data transmission.
Multicasting
- Sending data to a group of destinations at once.
NAT
(Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a
different IP address for the Internet.
Network
- A series of computers or devices connected for the purpose of data sharing, storage, and/or
transmission between users.
NNTP
(Network News Transfer Protocol) - The protocol used to connect to Usenet groups on the Internet.
Node
- A network junction or connection point, typically a computer or work station.
OFDM
(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) - A type of modulation technology that separates the data
stream into a number of lower-speed data streams, which are then transmitted in parallel. Used in 802.11a,
802.11g, and powerline networking.
Packet
- A unit of data sent over a network.
Passphrase
- Used much like a password, a passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by automatically
generating the WEP encryption keys for Linksys products.
Ping
(Packet INternet Groper) - An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is online.
POP3
(Post Office Protocol 3) - A standard protocol used to retrieve e-mail stored on a mail server.
Port
- 1. The connection point on a computer or networking device used for plugging in a cable or an adapter. 2.
The virtual connection point through which a computer uses a specific application on a server.

Appendix E: Glossary
Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge
PPPoE
(Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - A type of broadband connection that provides authentication
(username and password) in addition to data transport.
PPTP
(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) - A VPN protocol that allows the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to be
tunneled through an IP network. This protocol is also used as a type of broadband connection in Europe.
Preamble
- Part of the wireless signal that synchronizes network traffic.
RJ-45
(Registered Jack-45) - An Ethernet connector that holds up to eight wires.
Roaming
- The ability to take a wireless device from one access point's range to another without losing the
connection.
Router
- A networking device that connects multiple networks together, such as a local network and the Internet.
RTS
(Request To Send) - A packet sent when a computer has data to transmit. The computer will wait for a CTS
(Clear To Send) message before sending data.
Server
- Any computer whose function in a network is to provide user access to files, printing, communications,
and other services.
SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) - The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet.
SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) - A widely used network monitoring and control protocol.
Software
- Instructions for the computer. A series of instructions that performs a particular task is called a
“program”.
Spread Spectrum
- Wideband radio frequency technique used for more reliable and secure data transmission.
SSID
(Service Set IDentifier) - Your wireless network's name.
Static IP Address
- A fixed address assigned to a computer or device that is connected to a network.
Static Routing
- Forwarding data in a network via a fixed path.
Subnet Mask
- An address code that determines the size of the network.
Switch
- 1. Device that is the central point of connection for computers and other devices in a network, so data
can be shared at full transmission speeds. 2. A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an
electrical circuit.

- A user command and TCP/IP protocol used for accessing remote PCs.
TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) - A version of the TCP/IP FTP protocol that uses UDP and has no directory or
password capability.
Throughput
- The amount of data moved successfully from one node to another in a given time period.
Topology
- The physical layout of a network.
TX Rate
- Transmission Rate.
UDP
(User Datagram Protocol) - A network protocol for transmitting data that does not require acknowledgement
from the recipient of the data that is sent.
Upgrade
- To replace existing software or firmware with a newer version.
Upload
- To transmit a file over a network.
URL
(Uniform Resource Locator) - The address of a file located on the Internet.
