Glossary

This section explains the glossary of terms used in this manual that are required to configure the network.

Wireless Channel

If there is more than one Wireless LAN network with different ESS-ID on the same floor, and they are communicating with each other, the baud rate may be slowed, due to the same radio frequency being used. If this happens, you can still communicate regardless of other LAN networks by using to use different frequencies (wireless channels).

Note: If they are communications using the wireless LAN, be sure to set all the Units the same wireless channel.

DHCP Server

When configuring the network TCP/IP, be sure to set the IP address in each personal computer and other devices. When there is a DHCP server on the network, it can assign IP addresses automatically to the personal computers and the Access Point on the network. For the Windows NT server and dial-up router, or other DHCP server function, refer to the Windows 2000, Windows NT, or dial-up router manual, or consult the manufacturer.

ESS-ID

This ID is used to prevent cross-communication during communication between the Access Point and personal computers within the wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN personal computers that have the same ESS-ID as the Access Point can communicate with the Access Point. The ESS-ID is case sensitive. You can enter a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters, and the underline "_".

LAN (Local Area Network)

Read as one word. A LAN is a network in a comparatively small area, such as campus or within a single building. The LAN baud rate varies from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.

MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)

The MAC address is a physical address specific to each network card. The MAC address is configured from a total of six bytes as follows: A vendor code comprising the lead three bytes and a 3-byte user code. The vendor code is managed and assigned by IEEE. The user code is managed using a unique (unduplicated) number from the network card manufacturer. That is, the MAC address is assigned as a physical address unique throughout the world. In an Ethernet LAN, the MAC address is used as a base to create a frame for sending and receiving.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

TCP/IP is a protocol equivalent to the network and transport levels of the OSI reference model, and it is defined using RFC. Consequently, different terminals can communicate with each other using TCP/IP.

•Normally, TCP/IP includes the application protocols TELNET and FTP.

•TCP/IP is the standard Internet protocol.

NP5410 specifications

The NetComm NP5410 is an advanced, dual WAN broadband router designed to meet the needs of users requiring reliable and high-speed internet connectivity. This device is primarily aimed at small to medium-sized businesses that demand uninterrupted service and enhanced network performance.

One of the standout features of the NP5410 is its dual WAN capability, which allows it to connect to two separate internet services simultaneously. This not only provides a failover option ensuring consistent uptime but also enables load balancing to optimize bandwidth usage across multiple connections. The router supports various WAN types, including DSL, cable, and 3G/4G LTE, providing flexibility for different network environments.

Equipped with high-performance hardware, the NP5410 boasts a powerful processor that supports high-speed data processing and multiple concurrent connections. It also features advanced Quality of Service (QoS) settings that prioritize network traffic for critical applications, guaranteeing smooth performance during peak usage times.

Security is a crucial aspect of the NP5410, as it comes with built-in firewall capabilities, and supports VPN protocols, including IPsec and PPTP. This enables secure remote access for employees working from home or on the go. Additionally, the router has authentication features, ensuring that only authorized users can connect to the network, which helps protect sensitive data.

The NP5410 also supports wireless connectivity with dual-band Wi-Fi, providing coverage for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. This dual-band functionality allows users to connect a wide range of devices with varying performance needs, from older devices on the 2.4GHz band to modern devices that benefit from the higher speeds available on the 5GHz band. Moreover, the router incorporates the latest Wi-Fi standards, including802.11ac, which enhances wireless performance and range.

For ease of management, the NetComm NP5410 features a user-friendly web interface, allowing administrators to easily configure settings, monitor network performance, and troubleshoot issues as they arise. Integration with remote management tools is also supported, making it convenient for IT personnel to manage devices across multiple locations.

In summary, the NetComm NP5410 is a robust broadband router that combines dual WAN capabilities, high-speed performance, strong security features, and user-friendly management tools. Its design and technologies make it an ideal choice for businesses requiring reliable and efficient network solutions.
