Glossary

Port forwarding

In port forwarding, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl directs data packets from the Internet that are addressed to a particular Port to the corresponding port of the appropriate network component. This enables servers within the local network to offer services on the Internet without them needing a Public IP address.

PPPoA is a Protocol for connecting network components in a local Ethernet network to the Internet via an ATM network.

PPPoEPoint-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet = Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet

PPPoE is a Protocol for connecting network components in a local Ethernet network to the Internet via a modem.

Private IP address

The private IP address (also known as the local IP address) is a network component's address within the local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address he or she wants. Devices that act as a link from a local network, such as the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, have a private and a Public IP address.

Protocol

A protocol describes the agreements for communicating in a network. It contains rules for opening, administering and closing a connection, as well as in relation to data for- mats, time frames and possibly troubleshooting. Communication between two applications requires different protocols at various levels, for example the TCP/IP protocols for the Internet.

QoS allows network traffic to be sorted according to priorities. When this parameter is activated, Internet telephony is given priority over other data traffic. This is a precondition for problem-free calls.
