|
| 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 |
| from a TFTP server during |
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 | |
| ||
| wire terminated with | |
| “Base” means “baseband technology” and “T” means “twisted pair cable.”’ | |
| Each Ethernet port has a physical address called the MAC address. | |
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. | |
