Glossary

802.11b

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 11 Mbps. The standard provides for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

802.11g

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 54 Mbps. The standard provides for 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

802.11n

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 300 Mbps. The standard provides for 7,2 up to 300 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

10BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable.

100BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

1000BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

Access Point

An Access Point is a device through which wireless clients connect to other wireless clients and which acts as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired network, such as Ethernet. Wireless clients can be moved anywhere within the coverage area of the access point and still connect with each other. If connected to an Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to the wireless network, while also monitoring wireless client radio traffic and forwarding wireless client messages to the Ethernet LAN.

Ad Hoc mode

Ad Hoc mode is a configuration supported by most wireless clients. It is used to connect a peer to peer network together without the use of an access point. It offers lower performance than infrastructure mode, which is the mode the router uses. (see also Infrastructure mode.

Auto-negotiation

Some devices in the range support auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation is where two devices sharing a link, automatically configure to use the best common speed. The order of preference (best first) is: 100BASE-TX full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, and 10BASE-T half duplex. Auto-negotiation is defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet and is an operation that takes place in a few milliseconds.

Bandwidth

The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel can transmit. The bandwidth of Ethernet is 10 Mbps, the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet is 100 Mbps. The bandwidth for 802.11b wireless is 11Mbps.

Category 5 Cables

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-586 standard. Category 5 can be used in Ethernet (10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet networks (100BASE-TX) and can transmit data up to speeds of 100 Mbps. Category 5 cabling is better to use for network cabling than Category 3, because it supports both Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds.

Channel

Similar to any radio device, the Wireless Cable/DSL router allows you to choose different radio channels in the wireless spectrum. A channel is a particular frequency within the 2.4GHz spectrum within which the Router operates.

Client

The term used to described the desktop PC that is connected to your network.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address for every computer on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP addresses to workstations on a network. These assignments are made by the DHCP server software that runs on Windows NT Server, and Windows 95 and Windows 98 will call the server to obtain the address. Windows 98 will allocate itself an address if no DHCP server can be found.

DMZ

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is an area outside the firewall, to let remote users to have access to items on your network (Web site, FTP download and upload area, etc.).

DNS Server Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as pirelli.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is re-

quested (as in typing “pirelli.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The

DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

DSL
