Home Gateway: A term commonly interchanged with router.

IP Address (Internet Protocol Address): An IP Address is a number that identifies a computer connected to the Internet. Every computer that is connected to the Internet must have a unique IP Address. An IP Address consists of four sections separated by periods. Each section contains an 8-bit value represented as a number ranging from 0 to 255.

Public IP Address: An IP Address that is not behind a NAT. This IP Address is visible from the Internet.

Private IP Address: An IP Address that is behind a NAT, which is not visible to the Internet. The preferred ranges for private IP Address are either 192.168.x.x or 10.0.0.x.

Dynamic IP Address: An IP Address for a particular network device (PC, VideoPhone, router) that is dynamically assigned by a router or ISP and will not remain the same from session to session. See DHCP.

Static IP Address: An IP Address for a particular network device (PC, VideoPhone, router) that doesn’t change. See DHCP.

ISP (Internet Service Provider): A commercial organization that provides subscribers with access to the Internet.

LAN (Local Area Network): A network that is designed to span small distances. These are most commonly used in small buildings, businesses and homes with multiple PCs. See WAN.

NAT (Network Address Translation): A technology that allows multiple network devices to share the same IP Address. NAT devices forward all incoming and outgoing information to the correct network devices. Most NAT devices have firewall capabilities.

QCIF (Quarter Common Intermediate Format): An intermediate video

format. QCIF resolution is 176x144. The DVC-1000 VideoPhone will send QCIF-sized video only if the remote endpoint cannot decode

CIF.
