dotted-decimal

Method of representing an IP address or subnet mask using four decimal numbers called octets. Each

format

octet represents eight bits.

 

In a class C IP address, the octets are “network.network.network.host.” The first three octets together

 

represent the network address and the final octet is the host address. In the SBG1000 LAN default

 

configuration, 192.168.100 represents the network address. In the final octet, the host address can be

 

from 2 to 254.

download

To copy a file from one computer to another. You can use the Internet to download files from a server

 

to a computer. A DOCSIS or Euro-DOCSIS cable modem or gateway downloads its configuration file

 

from a TFTP server during start-up.

downstream

In a cable data network, the direction of data received by the computer from the Internet.

driver

Software that enables a computer to interact with a network or other device. For example, there are

 

drivers for printers, monitors, graphics adapters, modems, Ethernet, USB, HPNA, and many others.

DSL

Digital Subscriber Line

DSSS

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum is an IEEE 802.11b RF modulation protocol.

dynamic IP

An IP address that is temporarily leased to a host by a DHCP server. The opposite of static IP

address

address.

E

encapsulate

To include data into some other data unit to hide the format of the included data.

encode

To alter an electronic signal so that only an authorized user can unscramble it to view the information.

encrypt

To encode data.

 

endpoint

A VPN endpoint terminates the VPN at the router so that computers on the SBG1000 LAN do not

 

need VPN client software to tunnel through the Internet to the VPN server.

ESSID

The Extended Service Set Identifier or network name is a unique identifier that wireless clients use to

 

associate with an access point to distinguish between multiple wireless LANs in the same area. All

 

clients on a wireless LAN must have the same ESSID as the access point. On the SBG1000, you can

 

set the ESSID on the Wireless > NETWORK page.

 

Ethernet

The most widely used LAN type, also known as IEEE 802.3. The most common Ethernet networks are

 

10Base-T, which provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, usually over unshielded, twisted-pair

 

wire terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) provides speeds up to 100 Mbps.

 

“Base” means “baseband technology” and “T” means “twisted pair cable.”’

 

Each Ethernet port has a physical address called the MAC address.

Euro-DOCSIS

A tComLabs standard that is DOCSIS adapted for use in Europe

event

A message generated by a device to inform an operator or the network management system that

 

something has occurred.

 

expansion slot

A connection point in a computer where a circuit board can be inserted to add new capabilities.
