PPPoA

Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM One of the two types of PPP

interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other

type being PPPoE. You can define only one PPPoA interface per

VC.

PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet One of the two types of

PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC),the other

type being PPPoA. You can define one or more PPPoE interfaces

per VC.

protocol

A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order for a

data transmission to work, both ends of the connection have to

follow the rules of the protocol.

remote

In a physically separate location. For example, an employee

away on travel who logs in to the company’s intranet is a remote

user.

RIP

Routing Information Protocol The original TCP/IP routing

protocol. There are two versions of RIP: version and version II.

RJ-11

Registered Jack Standard-11 The standard plug used to connect

telephones, fax machines, modems, etc. to a telephone jack. It is

a 6-pin connector usually containing four wires.

RJ-45

Registered Jack Standard-45 The 8-pin plug used in transmitting

data over phone lines. Ethernet cabling usually uses this type of

connector.

routing

Forwarding data between your network and the Internet on the

most efficient route, based on the data’s destination IP address

and current network conditions. A device that performs routing is

called a router.

rule

See filtering rule, NAT rule.

SDNS

Secondary Domain Name System (server) A DNS server that can

be used if the primary DSN server is not available. See DNS.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol The TCP/IP protocol

used for network management.

splitter

A device that splits off the voice component of the DSL signal to

a separate line, so that data and telephone service each have their

own wiring and jacks. The splitter is installed by your telephone

company where the DSL line enters your home. The CO also

contains splitters that separate the voice and data signals, sending

voice to the PSTN and data on high-speed lines to the

Internet.

See also CO, PSTN, splitterless, microfilter.

splitterless

A type of DSL installation where no splitter is installed, saving

the cost of a service call by the telephone company. Instead, each

jack in the home carries both voice and data, requiring a

microfilter for each telephone to prevent interference from the

data signal. ADSL is usually splitterless; if you are unsure if your

installation has a splitter, ask your DSL provider. See also splitter,

microfilter.

subnet

A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished

from the larger network by a subnet mask which selects some of

the computers of the network and excludes all others. The

subnet's computers remain physically connected to the rest of

the parent network, but they are treated as though they were on a

separate network. See also network mask.

subnet mask

A mask that defines a subnet. See also network mask.

TCP

See TCP/IP.

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol The basic

protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing

data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the

destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the packets

from source to destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with

higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP

refers to this whole suite of protocols.

Telnet

An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote

computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only allow

you to download files from a remote computer, Telnet allows

you to log into and use a computer from a remote location.

TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol.

A protocol for file transfers, TFTP

is easier to use than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as

capable or secure.

TTL

Time To Live A field in an IP packet that limits the life span of

that packet. Originally meant as a time duration, the TTL is

usually represented instead as a maximum hop count; each

router that receives a packet decrements this field by one. When

the TTL reaches zero, the packet is discarded.

twisted pair

The ordinary copper telephone wiring long used by telephone

companies. It contains one or more wire pairs twisted together to

reduce inductance and noise. Each telephone line uses one pair.

In homes, it is most often installed with two pairs. For Ethernet

LANs, a higher grade called Category 3 (CAT 3) is used for

10BASE-T networks, and an even higher grade called Category 5

(CAT 5) is used for 100BASE-T networks. See also 10BASE-T,

100BASE-T, Ethernet.

upstream

The direction of data transmission from the user to the Internet.

USB

Universal Serial Bus A serial interface that lets you connect

devices such as printers, scanners, etc. to your computer by

simply plugging them in. The My ADSL Modem is equipped

with a USB interface for connecting to a stand-alone PC.

VC

Virtual Circuit A connection from your ADSL router to your ISP.

VCI

Virtual Circuit Identifier Together with the Virtual Path Identifier

(VPI), the VCI uniquely identifies a VC.

Your ISP will tell you

the VCI for each VC they provide. See also VC.

VPI

Virtual Path Identifier Together with the Virtual Circuit Identifier

(VCI), the VPI uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you

the VPI for each VC they provide. See also VC.

WAN

Wide Area Network Any network spread over a large geographi-

cal area, such as a country or continent. With respect to the My

ADSL Modem, WAN refers to the Internet.

Web browser

A software program that uses Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol

(HTTP) to download information from (and upload to) web sites,

and displays the information, which may consist of text, graphic

images, audio, or video, to the user. Web browsers use Hyper-

Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Popular web browsers include

Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. See also

HTTP, web site, WWW.

Web page

A web site file typically containing text, graphics and hyperlinks

(cross-references) to the other pages on that web site, as well as

to pages on other web sites. When a user accesses a web site, the

first page that is displayed is called the Home page. See also

hyperlink, web site.

Web site

A computer on the Internet that distributes information to (and

gets information from) remote users through web browsers. A

web site typically consists of web pages that contain text,

graphics, and hyperlinks. See also hyperlink, web page.

WWW

World Wide Web Also called (the) Web. Collective term for all

web sites anywhere in the world

that can be accessed via the

Internet.
