G

Gateway	A gateway links computers that use different data formats together.
Group	Groups consist of several user machines that have similar
	characteristics such as being in the same department.
H
HEX	Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which
	consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters
	A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in
	the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is
	useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two consecutive
	hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to read hexadecimal
	numbers than binary numbers.

I

IEEE	Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
Intranet	This is a private network, inside an organization or company, that
	uses the same software you will find on the public Internet. The
	only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage only.
Internet	The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are
	logically connected based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The Internet
	provides different ways to access private and public information
	worldwide.
Internet address	To participate in Internet communications and on Internet Protocol-
	based networks, a node must have an Internet address that identifies
	it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP addresses
IP	Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the basic
	unit of information on the Internet (the packet) and also details the
	numerical addressing format used to route the information. Your
	Internet service provider controls the IP address of any device it
	connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your network must
	conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs, most people will
	allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway to assign the IP
	addresses on internal networks.
IP address	IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or
	receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.
	For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address, it is the closet thing the
	Internet has to telephone numbers. When you “call” that number,
	using any connection methods, you get connected to the computer
	that “owns” that IP address.
ISP	Internet Service Provider, is a company that maintains a network
	that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated communication
	line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated communication lines to
	companies or individuals who can’t afford the high monthly cost for
	a direct connection.
