HEX

Short for hexadecimal, “HEX” refers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique

 

symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A through 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.

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 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

The 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

An 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

 

closest thing the Internet has to telephone numbers. When you “call” that number, using any

 

connection method, you get connected to the computer that “owns” that IP address.

ISP

Internet Service Provider. 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.
