Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the DSE 802.11g ADSL router. This product is the perfect option to
connect a group of wired or wireless PCs to a high-speed ADSL Internet connection.
Configurable as a DHCP server for your existing network, this router acts as the only externally
recognized Internet gateway on your local area network (LAN) or wireless local area network
(WLAN) and serves as an Internet NAT firewall against unwanted outside intruders. This router
can also be configured to filter users by MAC address, provide a level of security using Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and control internal users’ access to the Internet.
A typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection, but this Wireless
Router channels this connection through the blazing, full duplex speed of its built-in 4-Port
10/100Mbps Switch. This cutting-edge combination of Wireless Router and switch technology
eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and extends the range of your wireless
network.

Automatic Configuration of DHCP. The Wireless Router dynamically assigns network
configuration information, including IP Address, WAN Gateway, Domain Name Server
( DNS ) Addresses, … etc. This greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local
network.
Dynamic DNS. This is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a changing IP
Address as not all computers use Static IP addresses. Typically, when a user connects
to the Internet, the user's ISP assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP
addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of that specific connection.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is a method for the encapsulation of PPP packets
over Ethernet frames from the user to the ISP over the Internet. One reason PPPoE is
preferred by ISPs is because it provides authentication (username and password) in
addition to data transport. A PPPoE session can be initiated by either a client application
residing on a PC, or by client firmware residing on a modem or router.
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) – PPTP is a protocol (set of communication
rules) that allows corporations to extend their own corporate network through private
"Tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a wide-area network
as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines
for wide-area communication but can securely use the public networks. This kind of
interconnection is known as a virtual private network.
Support UPnP. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enhances peer-to-peer network
connectivity for personal computers, wireless devices, and other intelligent appliances,
in a distributed, open networking architecture. UPnP provides an architectural
framework for creating self-configuring, self-describing devices and services. Networks
managed by UPnP require no configuration by users or network administrators because
“UPnP” supports automatic discovery. UPnP enables a device to dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address, and convey its capabilities on request.

4.3 Connection to WAN
4.3.1 Make sure ADSL service is activated
Before you can use any ADSL modem or router, you must confirm the following:
• You are located within about 5km of an ADSL enabled phone exchange and you can get
Telecom’s ADSL service. This can be checked on-line by visiting “adsl.dse.co.nz” and
clicking on the link “your area” – or by calling Telecom on 0800 253 878.
Telecom has enabled the ADSL service to your house or office.
•
This can be facilitated by Ihug, Xtra or directly with Telecom
Because ADSL and voice works on the same phone line at the same time, you need to
•
install ADSL filter/s on each of your normal Telephone devices or contact Telecom on 123 to
arrange for someone to install a central splitter. You can also order ADSL on-line by visiting
“adsl.dse.co.nz” and clicking on the “Order JetStream @ Home” or “Order JetStream @
Work” links.
You need to have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to enable your new
•
ADSL line to connect to the Internet.
•
To connect with IHUG, simply call 0800 GET IHUG or visit www.ihug.co.nz/dse
To connect with XTRA, simply call 0800 GET XTRA
4.3.2 Configure your phone equipment
ADSL works by combining both voice and data signals on the same phone line. At your
premises, these signals need to be separated through the use of an approved Filter or Splitter.
Whilst both achieve the same results, each has their pro’s and cons.

4.3.3 Option 1: Install ADSL Filter/s yourself
• All telephone equipment must be filtered in an ADSL installation. This includes corded &
cordless phones, answering machines, faxes, caller display units, analogue modem
(including such devices as a Sky digital decoder with integrated modem), dedicated diallers,
Etc. Filtering telephone equipment is as simple as plugging the XH7556 DSE ADSL filter
in-line with the device/s.
Page 12

Your ADSL modem or router will be the only device that can connect directly to your
•
jackpoint. However should an adaptor be required between the plug on the modem cord and
the jackpoint, or you wish to connect telephone equipment to the same jackpoint, the DSE
ADSL filter can be used by plugging the router or modem into the “ADSL” socket.
Do not plug an ADSL modem or router into the “PHONE” socket if the modem cord has this
•
type of plug.
It is important that the filter is connected the right way around.
•
- The lead coming out of the side marked “LINE” is plugged into the telephone jackpoint
- Non-ADSL telephone equipment then plugs into the “PHONE” socket on the filter
- The ADSL Modem or Router plugs into the “ADSL” socket on the filter.
Up to 5 filters can be used on a single telephone line. If you need to install more than 5
•
filters, a central splitter must be installed by Telecom.
If you need to connect more than one item of telephone equipment at the same jackpoint,
•
then a double adaptor can be plugged into the “PHONE” socket of this filter.
This Line Filter has a RJ11 “ADSL” socket incorporated. Only ADSL modems or routers
•
may be plugged into this socket.
CAUTION:
Failure to connect ALL telephone type equipment via a filter will result in loss of the data link
whenever a call is made or answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is
received, even if it is not answered.
4.3.4 Option 2: Have an ADSL splitter professionally installed
Contact Telecom on 123 to arrange for a central splitter to be installed.
Page 13
XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router

4.4 Connection to LAN
Connect an Ethernet network cable from your PC’s Ethernet port to one of the router’s LAN
ports. The LAN LINK/ACT LED indicator will be lit by the corresponding port’s number when a
successful connection is made.
All the Ethernet ports support auto crossover functionality which means that either a patch or
crossover cable can be used.
5 Network Settings Configuration
This section will help you configure your computers to be able to communicate with the router.
Computers access the network and the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have TCP/IP installed
and selected as its networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) or Wireless LAN Card
is already installed in your PC, then TCP/IP is probably already installed as well.
The following description assumes the router has the factory default settings. (If not, please hold
the reset button down for 10 seconds). The default router’s LAN IP is 192.168.8.1 and the DHCP
server setting for LAN users is on (offered IP range from 192.168.8.17 to 192.168.8.128 by
default).
Follow the procedures below to set your computers to get an IP address from the router.

7.11 Virtual Server
The router allows you to set up virtual servers. If any specific local PC needs to be mapped to the
UDP/TCP port on the WAN side, you will need to input the mappings on this page.
Virtual Servers allow you to set up public services, such as a Web server, FTP, E-mail, etc. that
can be accessed by external users on the Internet. This is the same as setting up Pinholes.
Each service is provided by a dedicated network computer configured as a server with a fixed IP
address. When packets come in from the WAN port and their destination port number matches
the Virtual Server’s ports of the router, these packets will be forwarded to the pre-defined LAN’s
IP address.
Page 53
XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router
52
Consider the example below:
If you have an FTP server (Port 21) at 192.168.8.5, a mail server (Port 110) at 192.168.8.6, a
web server (Port 80) at 192.168.8.7 and a VPN server at 192.168.8.8 you need to set up the
virtual servers as listed below:
Protocol
Service Port Server IP in LAN Port in LAN
TCP UDP Both
FTP (21) 192.168.8.5 21 X
POP3 (110) 192.168.8.6 110 X
HTTP (80) 192.168.8.7 80
VPN (1723) 192.168.8.8 1723 X
Do the following to set up port forwarding via a virtual server:
1. Select Enable to activate this feature.
2. Enter the Server IP in LAN, Port in LAN and Protocol (TCP, UDP or Both).
3. You can also create your own Service Port.
4. Click Save & Restart to save the settings.

7.12 DMZ
A DMZ host is a computer which has been nominated to receive all the packets that do not
match anything in your NAT or Port Forwarding tables. When a packet is sent to your router, the
router will check the NAT or Port Forwarding tables to see if there's a match for that packet, and
then send the packet on to whatever it matches. If there is no match, then the router won't know
where to forward the packet onto and the packet will be dropped and lost. The main reason for
having a DMZ host is so that no packets sent to your network will be rejected but received by at
least one computer. Effectively, a DMZ host acts as a “Lost & Found” for network packets,
where they all go if they would otherwise be lost.
If you are using DHCP Client (Get IP dynamically from ISP) for your WAN Connection Type,
select Enable and enter the WAN IP Address. Click Save & Restart to save your settings.
If Static IP is used for the WAN Connection Type where there are ranges of IP addresses
assigned to the WAN interface instead of a single IP Address, this router allows up to 8
computers in the LAN to become DMZ hosts.
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. Incoming traffic from the
Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local
computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports menu. Instead of discarding this
traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the
Default DMZ Server.
Page 55
XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router
54
The mechanism of multiple DMZ host is based on the mapping relation between the WAN IP
Address and the LAN IP Address. These DMZ hosts will skip NAT port translation to gain
unrestricted 2-way communication capability.
To assign a computer or server to be a DMZ server, do the following:
1. Click the WAN link and set your WAN Connection Type to Static IP.
2. Manually enter your WAN IP address, WAN Subnet Mask, WAN Gateway and
WAN DNS.
3. Click Save & Restart to save the settings.
4. Click the DMZ link and select Enable to activate the DMZ function.
5. Enter the WAN IP Address and the LAN IP Address.
6. Select WAN Connected with Bridging Mode if Bridging Mode configuration is
supported by the ISP. Leave this item Blank if Routing Mode is supported by
the ISP.
7. Click Save & Restart to save your settings.
Consider the example below:

7.13 Auto 2-Way Applications
Some special applications (e.g. MS messenger, MS game zone, etc…) always connect to an
outside server with a fixed destination port. Then the server would communicate with the
application in the LAN by using a predefined incoming port (or a specific range of incoming
ports). In this case, the router can provide a fully automatic mechanism to support such
applications.
Click the Auto 2-Way Application link and select Enable to allow the router to watch outgoing
data for specific port numbers. The IP address of the computer that sends the matching data is
remembered by the router, so that when the requested data returns through the router, the data
is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
1. Select Enable to activate the Auto 2-Way Application.
2. Select the Well Known Application from the list provided and click Copy to a
dedicated ID as listed.
3. You can also enter the Trigger Port and Incoming Ports used by the
application manually.

7.14 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a
changing IP Address as not all computers use Static IP addresses. Typically, when a user
connects to the Internet, the user's ISP assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP
addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of that specific connection. This
method of dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP addresses.
A dynamic DNS service provider uses a special program that runs on the user's computer,
contacting the DNS service each time the IP address provided by the ISP changes and
subsequently updating the DNS database to reflect the change in IP address. In this way, even
though a domain name's IP address will change often, other users do not have to know the
changed IP address in order to connect with the other computer.

8 About Wi-Fi
8.1 Wi-Fi is Freedom
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is freedom: it allows you to connect to the Internet from your couch at
home, a bed in a hotel room or a conference room at work without wires. How? Wi-Fi is a
wireless technology like a cell phone. Wi-Fi enabled computers send and receive data indoors
and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. And the best thing of all, it's fast. In fact, it's
several times faster than the fastest cable modem connection.
However, you only have true freedom to be connected anywhere if your computer is configured
with a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED radio adaptor (a PC Card or similar device). Wi-Fi certification means
that you will be able to connect anywhere there are other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products - whether
you are at home, the office or corporate campus, or in airports, hotels, coffee shops and other
public areas equipped with a Wi-Fi access available.
8.2 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED = Confidence
Look for the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo on a product before you buy it. The Wi-Fi certified logo is
your only assurance that the product has met rigorous interoperability testing requirements to
assure products from different vendors will work together. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo means
that it's a "safe" buy. Wi-Fi Certification comes from the Wi-Fi Alliance, a nonprofit international
trade organisation that tests 802.11-based wireless equipment to make sure it meets the Wi-Fi
standard and works with all other manufacturers' Wi-Fi equipment on the market. Thanks to the
Wi-Fi Alliance, you don't have to read the fine print or study technical journals: if it says Wi-Fi, it
will work.
8.3 Wi-Fi Connects You
Imagine working on your laptop or checking e-mail from anywhere in your home. Imagine being
able to connect to your office network from an airport or coffee shop. Imagine retrieving files or
presentations from the corporate network, cruising the Internet or sending instant messages to
co-workers - and doing it all from a conference room or the company cafeteria.
Now, imagine doing all these things easily and quickly - without worrying about finding a wired
network connection. That is Wi-Fi.
Imagine being able to move your entire office without losing your investment in networking
installations, or to add new staff, all without moving cables or installing complicated hubs and
routers. That is Wi-Fi.
Page 60
59
8.4 Who Can Use Wi-Fi?
Everyone can use Wi-Fi, almost everywhere in the world. Home Wi-Fi networks can connect
multiple computers to each other, to peripherals, and to the Internet. A Wi-Fi network can
connect a family's computers together to share such hardware and software resources as
printers and the Internet. That means everyone in the family can share stored files, photos and
documents and print them out on a single printer attached to one desktop computer - all without
unsightly cables running throughout the home. In a home or home office, using Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED equipment in your wireless network gives you the ability to share a single
high-speed broadband cable or DSL connection. A Wi-Fi network can easily be expanded to ten
users or more. It also gives you assurance that the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED equipment you purchase
today will work with the equipment you add to your network in the future. Wi-Fi networks also
work well for small businesses, providing connectivity between mobile salespeople, floor staff
and behind-the-scenes finance and accounting departments. Because small businesses are
dynamic, the built-in flexibility of a Wi-Fi network makes it easy and affordable for them to
change and grow.

What is SSID?
Short for Service Set Identifier. SSID is a 32 character unique identifier attached to the header of
packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the
BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all Access Point and all devices
attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be
permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID.
What is WEP?
Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks
defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that
of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is
protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.

13 Glossary of terms
IEEE 802.11 Standard: The IEEE 802.11 is a standard that has been developed by the IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) for Wireless local area networks (WLAN).
802.11a: An IEEE standard for wireless networks that operate in the 5 GHz frequency range (5.725
GHz to 5.850 GHz) with a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps.
802.11b: An IEEE standard for wireless networks that operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency range (2.4
GHz to 2.4835 GHz) with a maximum data transfer rate of 11 Mbps. This is a very commonly used
frequency. Microwave ovens, cordless phones, medical and scientific equipment, as well as
Bluetooth devices, all work within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
802.11g: An IEEE standard similar to 802.11b but with a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps. It
also operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band but uses a different radio technology in order to boost
overall bandwidth. 802.11g devices are backward compatible with 802.11b devices.
Page 68
67
Access Point: An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks
together. Access points can also bridge to each other if they have a wireless bridge function.
Ad Hoc: An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adaptor, connected as
an independent wireless LAN.
ADSL: Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a DSL technology that is asymmetric, thereby
reserving more downstream bandwidth (coming to the user from the Internet) than upstream
bandwidth (going from the user to the Internet). This type of DSL is advantageous for residential
users that do not need the same bandwidth speed in both directions.
Backbone: The core infrastructure of a network or the portion of the network that transports
information from one central location to another central location. The information is then off-loaded
onto a local system.
Bandwidth: The amount of transmission capacity that is available on a network. The available
bandwidth depends on several variables such as the data transmission rates between networked
devices, number of users and the type of network devices used. The more bandwidth a network
provides, the more data can flow through it. 802.11b provides a maximum bandwidth of 11 Mbps
while 802.11a and 802.11g provide a maximum bandwidth of 54 Mbps.
Bit: The basic unit in data communications, represented as either a one or a zero. When discussing
digital data, a small "b" refers to bits, and a capital "B" refers to bytes.
Bit rate: The number of bits of data transmitted per second.
Bridge: A device that connects a local area network (LAN) to another local area network that uses
the same protocol (e.g. wireless, Ethernet or token ring). Wireless bridges are commonly used to link
buildings.
Broadband: A relatively fast Internet connection. Services such as ISDN, cable modem, ADSL and
satellite are all considered broadband as compared to dial-up Internet access.
BSS: A group of computers with a WLAN adaptor each and an Access Point compose a Basic
Service Set (BSS).
BSSID: Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSSID.
Client: Any computer connected to a network that requests services (e.g. files, print capability) from
another member of the network.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a method in which IP addresses are dynamically
assigned by a server to clients on the network. DHCP is used for Dynamic IP Addressing and
requires a dedicated DHCP server on the network.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum: This is the method the wireless cards use to transmit data
over the frequency spectrum. The other method is frequency hopping. Direct sequence spreads the
data over one frequency range (channel) while frequency hopping jumps from one narrow frequency
band to another many times per second.
Diversity antenna: A type of antenna system that uses two antennas to maximize reception,
transmission quality and reduce interference.

68
Encryption key: An alphanumeric string that enables data to be encrypted and then decrypted so it
can be safely shared among members of a network. WEP uses an encryption key that automatically
encrypts outgoing wireless data. On the receiving side, the same encryption key enables the
computer to automatically decrypt the information so it can be read.
ESS: Stands for Extended Service Set. More than one Basic Service Sets (BSS) can be configured
as an Extended Service Set. An ESS is basically a roaming domain.
ESSID: Computers in an ESS must be configured with the same ESSID.
Ethernet: Ethernet is a 10/100Mbps wired network that runs over dedicated home/office wiring.
Users must be wired to the network at all times to gain access.
Firewall: A device that secures a network and prevents access by unauthorized users. Firewalls can
be software, hardware or a combination of both. Firewalls can prevent unrestricted access into a
network, as well as restrict data from flowing out of a network.
Gateway: A gateway is a hardware and software device that connects two dissimilar systems, such
as a LAN and a mainframe. Generally, a gateway is used as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet.
HotSpot: A place where you can access Wi-Fi service. This can be free or for a fee. HotSpots can
be inside a coffeeshop, airport lounge, train station, convention center, hotel or any other public
meeting area. Corporations and campuses are also implementing HotSpots to provide wireless
Internet access to their visitors and guests. In some parts of the world, HotSpots are known as
CoolSpots. There are several hot spots in New Zealand, predominantly in Wellington and Auckland.
See the HotSpots in New Zealand section for a list of HotSopts.
IEEE: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a membership organization comprised
of engineers, scientists, and students that sets standards for computers and communications.
Infrastructure: Compared to Ad-Hoc mode where PCs communicate directly with one another,
clients set in Infrastructure mode all pass data through an access point. The access point not only
mediates wireless network traffic, but also provides communication with the wired network. If the
wireless clients need to have access to the wired LAN, they will have to be set in Infrastructure mode.
IP address: A 32-bit number that identifies each computer across a network or the Internet.
IPX: Short for Internetwork Packet Exchange, IPX is a networking protocol used by the Novell
NetWare operating systems. Like UDP/IP, IPX is a datagram protocol used for connectionless
communications.
ISM Band: The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for
unlicensed use in the so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity
of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary
opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the
globe.
ISO: The International Organization of Standardization develops, coordinates, and promulgates
international standards that facilitate world trade.
ISP: An Internet Service Provider is an organization offering and providing Internet access to the
public using computer servers connected directly to the Internet.
ITU: The International Telecommunication Union is a United Nations organization that coordinates
the use of the electromagnetic spectrum and creation of technical standards for telecommunication
and radio communication equipment.

Local Area Network (LAN): A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate
network adaptor card connected by cable that share applications, data and peripherals. All
connections are made via cable, but a LAN does not use telephone services. It typically spans a
single building.
MAC address: Every network device has its own specific MAC address hard-coded into it. This
unique identifier can be used to provide security for networks.
NAT: Network Address Translation enables a local area network (LAN) to use one set of IP
addresses for internal traffic and a second set of IP addresses for external traffic. This feature is
used so that an end user can have an internal computer network in their home, with all its computers
using internal IP addresses, using only one routable IP address, which accesses the outside
(Internet).
Network: A network is a system of computers connected to one another. Data, files, and messages
can be transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks.
PCMCIA: Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. A PCMCIA card is also
referred to as a PC Card. PCMCIA cards are usually used with notebooks.
Peer-to-peer network: A wireless or wired network that has no server, access point, hub or router.
All the networked PCs are connected directly to one another and are equally able to act as a network
server or client.
Protocol: A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to take place,
including the format, timing, sequencing and error checking.
Proxy server: Used in larger companies and organizations to improve network operations and
security, a proxy server is able to prevent direct communication between two or more networks. The
proxy server forwards allowable data requests to remote servers and/or responds to data requests
directly from stored remote server data.
Range: The range is a measure of how far your wireless network will stretch.
Roaming: In an infrastructure network, this is when a wireless PC moves out of range of the
previously connected access point and connects to a newly connected access point. Throughout the
network environment where access points are deployed, PCs can always be connected regardless
of where they are located.
Router: A device in a packet-switched computer network that directs and controls the flow of data
through the network.
Server: A computer that provides its resources to other computers and devices on a network. These
include print servers, Internet servers and data servers.
Site survey: The process whereby a wireless network installer inspects a location prior to putting in
a wireless network. Site surveys are used to identify the radio and client-use properties of a facility so
that access points can be optimally placed.
SSID: A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID
are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive. A device will not be permitted
to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text
from a packet, it does not supply any security to the network.

SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In
SNMP, agents (which can be hardware as well as software) monitor the activity in the various
devices on the network and report to the network console workstation. Control information about
each device is maintained in a structure known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing: A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks
with Static IP addresses, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each
computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it
reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
Subnet: Found in larger networks, these smaller networks are used to simplify addressing between
numerous computers. Subnets connect to the central network through a router, hub or gateway.
Each individual wireless LAN will probably use the same subnet for all the local computers it talks to.
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol is the protocol suite developed by the
Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). It is widely used in corporate Internet works, because
of its superior design for WANs. TCP governs how each packet is sequenced for transmission
through the network. The term TCP/IP is often used generically to refer to the entire suite of related
protocols.
VPN: A type of technology designed to increase the security of information transferred over the
Internet. VPN can work with either wired or wireless networks, as well as with dial-up connections.
VPN creates a private encrypted tunnel from the end user's computer, through the local wireless
network, through the Internet, all the way to the corporate servers and database.
WAN: A Wide Area Network consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services
and / or fiber optic cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy is a basic wireless security as described in the IEEE 802.11
standard. In some instances, WEP may be all a home or small-business user needs to protect
wireless data. WEP is available in 40-bit (also called 64-bit), or in 108-bit (also called 128-bit)
encryption modes. As 128-bit encryption provides a longer algorithm that takes longer to decode, it
can provide better security than basic 40-bit (64-bit) encryption.
Wi-Fi: An interoperability certification for wireless local area network (LAN) products based on the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard.
WLAN: A Wireless LAN does not use cable to transmit signals, but rather uses radio to transmit
packets through the air. Radio Frequency (RF) is the commonly used type of wireless transmission.
