GLOSSARY 97

host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing “3com.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 modem DSL stands for digital subscriber line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to send and receive data at high speeds.

Encryption A method for providing a level of security to wireless data transmissions. The Router uses two levels of encryption; 40/64 bit and 128 bit. 128 bit is a more powerful level of encryption than 40/64 bit.

ESSID Extended Service Set Identifier. The ESSID is a unique identifier for your wireless network. You must have the same ESSID entered into the router and each of it's wireless clients.

Ethernet A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of 10 Mbps over a variety of cables.

Ethernet Address See MAC address.

Fast Ethernet An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 Mbps.

Firewall Electronic protection that prevents anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your computers.

Full Duplex A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.

Half Duplex A system that allows packets to transmitted and received, but not at the same time. Contrast with full duplex.

Hub A device that regenerates LAN traffic so that the transmission distance of that signal can be extended. Hubs are similar to repeaters, in that they connect LANs of the same type; however they connect more LANs than a repeater and are generally more sophisticated.
