Glossary

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

The SMTP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It regulates the exchange of electronic mail on the Internet. Your Internet Service Provider provides you with access to an SMTP server.

SSID

Service Set Identifier

The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless network components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be assigned by the network operator.

Static (fixed) IP address

A static (or fixed) IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network configuration. Unlike a Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.

Subnet

A subnet divides a network into smaller units.

Subnet mask

The subnet mask determines how parts of the IP addresses of a network represent the network number and how many the computer number.

The subnet mask administered by the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is always 255.255.255.0. That means the first three parts of the IP address form the network number and the final part is used for assigning computer numbers. The first three parts of the IP address of all network components are in this case always the same.

Switch

A switch, like a Hub, is an element used to link different network segments or components. Unlike a hub however, the switch has its own intelligence that enables it to forward packets to only that subnet or network component they are meant for.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol

The TCP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. TCP handles data transport between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based transmission protocol, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transporting data.

See also: UDP

TCP/IP

Protocol family on which the Internet is based. IP forms the foundation for each computer-to-computer connection. TCP provides applications with a reliable transmission link in the form of a continuous data stream. TCP/IP is the basis on which services such as WWW, Mail and News are built. There are other protocols as well.
