INFORMATION------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glossary

Boot loader version

Boot loader is a software application that is loaded by the device firmware from a boot- capable medium and then executed. The boot loader then loads further parts of the operating system.

Domain name system

The domain name system (DNS) is one of the most important services on the Internet. Its main function is to convert an Internet address into the corresponding IP address.

Firmware version

Firmware is the term used for software that is em- bedded in a programmed chip (microcontroller). It is mostly stored in a flash memory, an EPROM or an EEPROM.

The firmware contains functions for controlling the device.

Gateway IP

A gateway allows networks, which may be based on completely different protocols, to com- municate with each other.

In the home area, a combination of the router and the DSL modem are used as an Internet gateway.

Hardware version

Hardware in this context means the device. This includes all components such as processor, dis- play, etc.

IP address

An IP address (Internet protocol address) is used to uniquely identify the address of computers and other devices in an IP network. The most well-known network in which IP addresses are used is the Internet. Here, for example, web serv- ers are addressed using the IP address.

The IP address can be provided automatically by the router (automatic address) or can be en- tered manually in the router (static address). If it is entered manually, this address must also be entered in the hi-fi system.

NAS (network access storage)

The abbreviation NAS is used for devices that provide data from a hard drive to a network.

Network name (SSID)

The network name (SSID – service set identifier) is the term used for the identification of a wireless network that is based on IEEE 802.11.

Every wireless LAN has a configurable SSID, which uniquely identifies the wireless network.

The character sequence of the network name can be up to 32 characters in length. It is config- ured in the base station (access point) of a wire- less LAN and set on all clients which access it.

Network mask

The network mask or net mask, sometimes also referred to as a subnet mask, is a bit mask that separates an IP address into a network part and a device/host part. It is used in IP networks to make routing decisions.

Private IP address

Private IP addresses belong to particular IP ad- dress ranges that are not routed in the Internet. They can be used by anybody for private Net- works, such as LANs.

Many computer networks require complete con- nectivity at IP level, but only limited access to the Internet. If such a computer network has a pri- vate IP address range, it forms an intranet which cannot be accessed from the Internet as the In- ternet routers ignore private address ranges. A gateway or router that is placed in this private network and which has a public address in the Internet as well as a private IP address makes the connection to the Internet. This can be per- formed by a proxy or using NAT/PAT/Masquer- ading.

As the address range used can only be viewed within the private network, the same range can also be used in other private networks. The unique nature of an IP address required by the Internet protocol is ensured by this restricted vis- ibility.
