TRENDnet TV-IP100 manual RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections

WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different geographic locations and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed between two devices.

P

PING	Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a
	specific IP address is accessible. It functions by sending a packet
	to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is primarily used
	to troubleshoot Internet connections.
PPPoE	Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for
	connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a
	common broadband medium, such as DSL or cable modem. All
	the users over the Ethernet share a common connection.
Protocol	Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules called
	protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use to
	communicate with each other, and thus they have different
	functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and
	presenting and presenting data that will be transferred from file
	server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are
	responsible for filtering information between networks and
	forwarding data to its destination. Still other protocols dictate how
	data is transferred across the medium, and how servers respond to
	workstation requests and vice versa. Common network protocols
	responsible for the presentation and formatting of data for a
	network operating system are the Internetwork Packet Exchange
	(IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate
	the format of data for transferors the medium include token-
	passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
	Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET,

	FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part
	of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
	suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the
	same network protocol.
R
RARP	Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, a TCP/IP protocol that
	allows a physical address, such as an Ethernet address, to be
	translated into an IP address.
RJ-45	RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.
Router	A router is the network software or hardware entity charged with
	routing packets between networks.
S
Server	It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as files or
	other information.
SMTP	The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for Internet mail.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP was designed to
	provide a common foundation for managing network devices.
Station	In LANs, a station consists of a device that can communicate data
	on the network. In FDDI, a station includes both physical nodes
	and addressable logical devices. Workstations, single-attach
	stations, dual-attach stations, and concentrators are FDDI stations.
Subnet mask	In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called the subnet
	mask.
