Your IP Configuration information will be listed, and should match the values below if you are

using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends for connecting through a

router or gateway:

•

The IP address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254

•

The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

•

The default gateway is 192.168.0.1

Numeric

802.1x

802.1x defines port-based, network access control used to provide authenticated network access and

automated data encryption key management.

The IEEE 802.1x draft standard offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user traffic

to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys. 802.1x uses a protocol called EAP

(Extensible Authentication Protocol) and supports multiple authentication methods, such as token cards,

Kerberos, one-time passwords, certificates, and public key authentication. For details on EAP specifically,

refer to IETF's RFC 2284.

802.11a

IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps operating in unlicensed radio bands over 5GHz.

802.11b

IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS)

technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz.

802.11g

An IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS)

technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz. 802.11g is backwards compatible

with 802.11b.

10BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair cable.

100BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

A

Access Control List

An ACL is a database that an Operating System uses to track each user’s access rights to system objects

(such as file directories and/or files).

ACL

See “Access Control List”

Ad-hoc Mode

An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other,

without the use of an access point (AP). Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or an

Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless

infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required.

ADSL

Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper

telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and

from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).

ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world

gain access.

B

Bandwidth

The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel could transmit. Bandwidth examples

include 10 Mbps for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet, and 1000 Mbps (I Gbps) for Gigabit Ethernet.

Baud

The signaling rate of a line, that is, the number of transitions (voltage or frequency changes) made per

second.

Also known as line speed.

Broadcast

A packet sent to all devices on a network.
