Aolynk DR811/DR814 ADSL2+Broadband Router			9 Appendix - Glossary
RJ-45	Registered	The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over phone lines.
	Jack	Ethernet cabling usually uses this type of connector.
	Standard-45
routing		Forwarding data between your network and the Internet on the
		most efficient route, based on the data’s destination IP address
		and current network conditions. A device that performs routing is
		called a router.
subnet		A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished
		from the larger network by a subnet mask that selects some of
		the computers of the network and excludes all others. The
		subnet's computers remain physically connected to the rest of
		the parent network, but they are treated as though they were on
		a separate network. See also network mask.
subnet mask		A mask that defines a subnet. See also network mask.
TCP		See TCP/IP.
TCP/IP	Transmissio	The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for
	n Control	dividing data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them
	Protocol/Inte	at the destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the
	rnet Protocol	packets from source to destination. When TCP and IP are
		bundled with higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP,
		Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols.
Telnet		An interactive, character-based program used to access a
		remote computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only
		allow you to download files from a remote computer, Telnet
		allows you to log into and use a computer from a remote
		location.
TFTP	Trivial File	A protocol for file transfers. TFTP is easier to use than File
	Transfer	Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as capable or secure.
	Protocol
twisted pair		The ordinary copper telephone wiring long used by telephone
		companies. It contains one or more wire pairs twisted together
		to reduce inductance and noise. Each telephone line uses one
		pair. In homes, it is most often installed with two pairs. For
		Ethernet LANs, a higher grade called Category 3 (CAT 3) is
		used for 10BASE-T networks, and an even higher grade called
		Category 5 (CAT 5) is used for 100BASE-T networks. See also
		10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, Ethernet.
upstream		The direction of data transmission from the user to the Internet.
USB	Universal	A serial interface that lets you connect devices such as printers,
	Serial Bus	scanners, etc. to your computer by simply plugging them in. The
		ADSL router is equipped with a USB interface for connecting to
		a stand-alone PC.
VC	Virtual	A connection from your DSL router to your ISP.
	Circuit
VCI	Virtual	Together with the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI), the VCI uniquely
	Circuit	identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you the VCI for each VC they
	Identifier	provide. See also VC.
