Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

 

 

final version of the RFC becomes the standard and no further comments or changes

 

 

 

 

are permitted. Change can occur, however, through subsequent RFCs.

 

 

 

RIP

 

Routing Information Protocol is an interior or intra-domain routing protocol that uses

 

 

the distance-vector routing algorithms. RIP is used on the Internet and is common in

 

 

the NetWare environment as a method for exchanging routing information between

 

 

routers.

 

 

 

Rom-0

 

This is the name of the configuration file on the Prestige. Renaming may be

 

 

necessary when uploading a new configuration file to the Prestige.

 

 

 

Router

 

A device that connects two networks together. Routers monitor, direct and filter

 

 

information that passes between these networks. Because of their location, routers are

 

 

a good place to install traffic or mail filters. Routers are also prone to attacks because

 

 

they contain a great deal of information about a network.

 

 

 

SAP

 

In NetWare, the Service Advertising Protocol broadcasts information about available

 

 

services on the network that other network devices can listen to. A server sends out

 

 

SAP messages every 60 seconds. A server also sends out SAP messages to inform

 

 

other devices that it is closing down. Workstations use SAP to find services they need

 

 

on the network.

 

 

 

SDSL

 

A Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line is a symmetrical, bi-directional DSL service that

 

 

operates on one twisted-pair wire. It can provide data rates up to the T1 rate of 1.544

 

 

Mbits/sec, and it operates above the voice frequency, so voice and data can be carried

 

 

on the same wire.

 

 

 

Server

 

A computer, or a software package, that provides a specific kind of service to client

 

 

software running on other computers.

 

 

 

SMT

 

System Management Terminal. The SMT is a menu-based interface that you use to

 

 

configure your Prestige.

 

 

 

SNMP

 

System Network Management Protocol is a popular management protocol defined by

 

 

the Internet community for TCP/IP networks. It is a communication protocol for

 

 

collecting information from devices on the network.

 

 

 

SOCKS

 

A protocol that handles TCP traffic through proxy servers.

 

 

 

Static Routing

 

Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically

 

 

through other means. The need for Static Routing can arise in cases where RIP is

 

 

disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is directly connected

 

 

to a remote node.

 

 

 

STP

 

Twisted-pair cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator. Two

 

 

wires are twisted together to form a pair, and the pair form a balanced circuit. The

 

 

twisting prevents interference problems. STP (shielded twisted-pair) provides

 

 

protection against external crosstalk.
