Glossary of Terms

You’ll find a more extensive glossary in the Reference Manual on the DG814 Resource CD.

Category 5 (CAT5): A twisted pair cable that meets specified requirements for high-speed networking.

Domain Name System (DNS) server: A server that matches URLs (such as www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses.

IP Address: A 4-part number uniquely defining each host on the Internet. Usually written in dotted- decimal notation with separating periods (for example, 134.177.244.57).

ISP: Internet service provider.

Local Area Network (LAN): A communications network within a limited area, such as one building.

PPP:Point-to-Point Protocol, the standard Internet protocol for dial-up connections.

PPPover Ethernet (PPPoE): A protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

TCP/IP: Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) with Internet Protocol (IP). The main internetworking protocol used in the Internet.

Wide Area Network (WAN): A long distance link used to extend or connect remotely located local area networks (for example, connecting your home computer to the Internet).

Gateway System Requirements

To use the gateway in your network you must have:

•ADSL service

•An account with an ISP

•Ethernet network card (NIC) or built-in networking for each computer

•Network software (Windows, Mac OS, Linux or UNIX)

•Internet Explorer 5.0 or later; Netscape Navigator 4.7 or later
