A

access point

A device that provides wireless LAN connectivity to wireless clients (stations). The SBG900 acts as a

 

wireless access point.

adapter

A device or card that connects a computer, printer, or other peripheral device to the network or to

 

some other device. A wireless adapter connects a computer to the wireless LAN.

address

See NAT.

translation

 

ALG

Application level gateway triggers are required by some file transfer (for example, FTP), game, and

 

video conferencing applications to open one or more ports to enable the application to operate

 

properly.

American Wire

A standard system used to designate the size of electrical conductors; gauge numbers are inverse to

Gauge (AWG)

size.

ANSI

The American National Standards Institute is a non-profit, independent organization supported by

 

trade organizations, industry, and professional societies for standards development in the United

 

States. This organization defined ASCII and represents the United States to the International

 

Organization for Standardization.

ANX

Automotive Network Exchange

ARP

Address Resolution Protocol broadcasts a datagram to obtain a response containing a MAC address

 

corresponding to the host IP address. When it is first connected to the network, a client sends an ARP

 

message. The SBG900 responds with a message containing its MAC address. Subsequently, data

 

sent by the computer uses the SBG900 MAC address as its destination.

ASCII

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange refers to alphanumeric data for processing

 

and communication compatibility among various devices; normally used for asynchronous

 

transmission.

asynchronous

The SBG900 uses synchronous timing for upstream data transmissions. The CMTS broadcasts

timing

messages that bandwidth is available. The SBG900 reserves data bytes requiring x-number of

 

mini-slots. The CMTS replies that it can receive data at a specified time (synchronized). At the

 

specified time, the SBG900 transmits the x-number of data bytes.

attenuation

The difference between transmitted and received power resulting from loss through equipment,

 

transmission lines, or other devices; usually expressed in decibels.

authentication

A process where the CMTS verifies that access is authorized, using a password, trusted IP address,

 

or serial number.

authorization

Part of the process between a CMTS and the cable modem or gateway to enable Baseline Privacy.

auto-MDIX

Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover detects and corrects cabling errors by automatically

 

reversing the send and receive pins on any port. It enables the use of straight-through wiring between

 

the SBG900 Ethernet port and any computer, printer, or hub.
