CSMA/CA - Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance

DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on your home network.

DNS - DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as www.smc.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing " www.smc.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

DSL - DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet - A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10 million bits per second (Mbps).

ESS - ESS (ESS-ID, SSID) stands for "Extended Service Set". More than one BSS is configured to become an Extended Service Set. LAN mobile users can roam between different BSSs in an ESS (ESS-ID, SSID).

Fast Ethernet NIC - Network interface card that is in compliance with the IEEE 802.3u standard. This card functions at the media access control (MAC) layer, using carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD).

Fixed IP – (see Static IP)

Full-Duplex - Transmitting and receiving data simultaneously. In pure digital networks, this is achieved with two pairs of wires. In analog networks, or digital networks using carriers, it is achieved by dividing the bandwidth of the line into two frequencies, one for sending, one for receiving.

Hub - Central connection device for shared media in a star topology. It may add nothing to the transmission (passive hub) or may contain electronics that regenerate signals to boost strength as well as monitor activity (active/intelligent hub). Hubs may be added to bus topologies; for example, a hub can turn an Ethernet network into a star topology to improve troubleshooting.

ID3 – The data fields in an MP3 that hold the artist name, track titles, album titles, genre, etc are known as ID3 tags.
