Ethernet	The most widely used type of local area network (LAN). The most commonly installed Ethernet networks are called 10Base-T.
	10Base-T provides transmission speeds up to 10 megabits per second (Mbps), usually over twisted-pair wire. Fast Ethernet
	(100Base-T) provides transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps.

F-type connector	A connector used to connect coaxial cable (coax) to equipment.
IP address	An Internet Protocol address is an identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol
	route messages based on the destination IP address. Your service provider assigns your Communications Gateway an IP
	address to provide a continuous Internet connection.
MAC address	The Media Access Control Address uniquely identifies each device that can be connected to an Ethernet network. It is
	permanently written to read-only memory (ROM) at the factory. Your Motorola Communications Gateway has two MAC
	addresses printed near the Connector Panel. You need to provide them to your service provider to start Cable Data Service or
	Telephone Service.
MHz	Mega Hertz. A measure of radio frequency - millions of cycles per second. One MHz means one million cycles per second.
