G Glossary of Terms

NUMBERS

10BASE-T

10BASE-T is Ethernet over UTP Category III, IV, or V

unshielded twisted-pair media.

100BASE-TX

The two-pair twisted-media implementation of 100BASE-T is

called 100BASE-TX.

A

Applet

Applets are small Java programs that can be embedded in an

HTML page. The rule at the moment is that an applet can only

make an Internet connection to the computer form which the

applet was sent.

ASCII

American Standard Code For Information Interchange, it is the

standard method for encoding characters as 8-bit sequences of

binary numbers, allowing a maximum of 256 characters.

ARP

Address Resolution Protocol. ARP is a protocol that resides at the

TCP/IP Internet layer which delivers data on the same network by

translating an IP address to a physical address.

AVI

Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio and video

file type, a common format for small movies and videos.

B

BOOTP

Bootstrap Protocol

is

an Internet protocol that can automatically

configure a network device in a diskless workstation to give its

own IP address.

C

Communication

Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message,

and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and

processes communicate messages to each other over media. They

represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the

message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the

medium.

Connection

In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate

with each other.

D

DHCP

Dynamic

Host

Configuration

Protocol

was

developed

by

Microsoft a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to

devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can

have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.

In some systems, the device's IP addres s can even change while it

is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic

IP addresses.

This simplifies the task for network administrators

because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than

requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means a new

computer can be added to a network without the hassle of

manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP allows the

specification for the service provided by a router, gateway, or

other network device that automatically assigns an IP address to

any device that requests one

DNS

Domain Name System is an Internet service that translates domain

names into IP addresses. Since domain names are alphabetic,

they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based

on IP addresses every time you use a domain name the DNS will

translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example,

the domain name

www.network_camera.com

might translate to

192.167.222.8

.

E

Enterprise

network

An enterprise network consists of collections of networks

connected to each other over a geographically dispersed area. The

enterprise network serves the needs of a widely distributed

company

and

operates

the

company’s

mission-critical

applications.

Ethernet

The most popular LAN communication technology. There are a

variety of types of Ethernet, including 10 Mbps (traditional

Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit

Ethernet). Most Ethernet networks use Category 5 cabling to carry

information, in the form of electrical signals, between devices.

Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD that operates in a bus

or star topology.

F

Fast Ethernet

Fast Ethernet, also called 100BASE-T, operates at 10 or 100Mbps

per second over UTP, STP, or fiber-optic media.

Firewall

Firewall is considered the first line of defense in protecting private

information. For better security, data can be encrypted. A system

Page 129 / 135

128

designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private

network. 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.

G

Gateway

A gateway links computers that use different data formats

together.

Group

Groups consist of several user machines that have similar

characteristics such as being in the same department.

H

HEX

Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which

consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters

A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in

the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is

useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two

consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to read

hexadecimal numbers than binary numbers.

I

Intranet

This is a private network, inside an organization or company, that

uses the same software you will find on the public Internet.

The

only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage only.

Internet

The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are

logically connected based on the Internet Protocol (IP).

The

Internet provides different ways to access private and public

information worldwide.

Internet

address

To participate in Internet communications and on Internet

Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet address

that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP

addresses

IP

Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the

basic unit of information on the Internet (the

packet

) and also

details the numerical addressing format used to route the

information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address

of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your

network must conform to IP addressing rules.

In smaller LANs,

most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway

to assign the IP addresses on internal networks.

IP address

IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender

or receiver of information which is sent in packets across the

Internet.

For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address, it is the closet

thing the Internet has to telephone numbers. When you “call” that

number, using any connection methods, you get connected to the

computer that “owns” that IP address.

ISP

Internet Service Provider, is a company that maintains a network

that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated communication

line.

An ISP offers the use of its dedicated communication lines

to companies or individuals who can’t afford the high monthly

cost for a direct connection.

J

JAVA

Java is a programming language that is specially designed for

writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer

through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-

oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and
