10BASE-T is Ethernet over UTP Category III, IV, or V
unshielded twisted-pair media.

The two-pair twisted-media implementation of
100BASE-T is called 100BASE-TX.

Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation, a new
technology improved from PCM, which encodes analog
sounds to digital form.

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is an audio data
compression scheme optimized for speech coding,
which is adopted as the standard speech codec by
3GPP.

Applets are small Java programs that can be
embedded in an HTML page. The rule at the moment
is that an applet can only make an Internet connection
to the computer form that the applet was sent.

American Standard Code For Information Interchange,
it is the standard method for encoding characters as 8­bit sequences of binary numbers, allowing a maximum
of 256 characters.

Address Resolution Protocol. ARP is a protocol that
resides at the TCP/IP Internet layer that delivers data
on the same network by translating an IP address to a
physical address.

Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio
and video file type, a common format for small movies
and videos.

Communication

Connection

D

DHCP

DNS

Communication has four components: sender,
receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices
and application tasks and processes communicate
messages to each other over media. They represent
the sender and receivers. The data they send is the
message. The cabling or transmission method they
use is the medium.

In networking, two devices establish a connection to
communicate with each other.

Developed by Microsoft, DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With
dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP
address every time it connects to the network. In some
systems, the device's IP address can even change
while it is still connected. It also supports a mix of static
and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the task for
network administrators because the software keeps
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an
administrator to manage the task. A new computer can
be added to a network without the hassle of manually
assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP allows the
specification for the service provided by a router,
gateway, or other network device that automatically
assigns an IP address to any device that requests one.

Domain Name System is an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. Since
domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to
remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP
addresses every time you use a domain name the
DNS will translate the name into the corresponding IP
address. For example, the domain name

www.network_camera.com might translate to

192.167.222.8.

networks connected to each other over a

The most popular LAN communication technology.
There are a variety of types of Ethernet, including
10Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100Mbps (Fast
Ethernet), and 1,000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Most
Ethernet networks use Category 5 cabling to carry
information, in the form of electrical signals, between
devices. Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD
that operates in a bus or star topology.

Fast Ethernet, also called 100BASE-T, operates at 10
or 100Mbps per second over UTP, STP, or fiber-optic
media.

Firewall is considered the first line of defense in
protecting private information. For better security, data
can be encrypted. A system designed to prevent
unauthorized access to or from a private network.
Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized
Internet users from accessing private networks
connected to the Internet, especially Intranets all
messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through
the firewall, which examines each message and blocks
those that do not meet the specified security criteria.

numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the
decimal number 15 is represented as F in the
hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal
system is useful because it can represent every byte (8
bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier
for humans to read hexadecimal numbers than binary
numbers.

This is a private network, inside an organization or
company that uses the same software you will find on
the public Internet. The only difference is that an
Intranet is used for internal usage only.

The Internet is a globally linked system of computers
that are logically connected based on the Internet
Protocol (IP). The Internet provides different ways to
access private and public information worldwide.

To participate in Internet communications and on
Internet Protocol-based networks, a node must have
an Internet address that identifies it to the other nodes.
All Internet addresses are IP addresses

Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the
layout of the basic unit of information on the Internet
(the packet) and also details the numerical addressing
format used to route the information. Your Internet
service provider controls the IP address of any device
it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your
network must conform to IP addressing rules. In
smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP
function of a router or gateway to assign the IP
addresses on internal networks.

IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies
each sender or receiver of information that is sent in
packets across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69
is an IP address. When you “call” that number, using
any connection methods, you get connected to the
computer that “owns” that IP address.

ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that
maintains a network that is linked to the Internet by

way of a dedicated communication line. An ISP offers
the use of its dedicated communication lines to
companies or individuals who can’t afford the high
monthly cost for a direct connection.

Java is a programming language that is specially
designed for writing programs that can be safely
downloaded to your computer through the Internet
without the fear of viruses. It is an object-oriented
multi-thread programming best for creating applets and
applications for the Internet, Intranet and other
complex, distributed network.

Local Area Network a computer network that spans a
relatively small area sharing common resources. Most
LANs are confined to a single building or group of
buildings.

MJPEG (Motion JPEG) composes a moving image by
storing each frame of a moving picture sequence in
JPEG compression, and then decompressing and
displaying each frame at rapid speed to show the
moving picture.

MPEG4 is designed to enable transmission and
reception of high-quality audio and video over the
Internet and next-generation mobile telephones.

Network Address Translator generally applied by a
router that makes many different IP addresses on an
internal network appear to the Internet as a single
address. For routing messages properly within your
network, each device requires a unique IP address.
But the addresses may not be valid outside your
network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within

your network request information from the Internet, the
requests are forwarded to the Internet under the
router's IP address. NAT distributes the responses to
the proper IP addresses within your network.

A network consists of a collection of two or more
devices, people, or components that communicate with
each other over physical or virtual media. The most
common types of network are:

LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close
distance to one another. They are usually in the same
office space, room, or building.

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

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

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a technique for
converting analog audio signals into digital form for
transmission.

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.

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.

RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.

A router is the network software or hardware entity
charged with routing packets between networks.

RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a data transfer
protocol defined to deliver live media to the clients at
the same time, which defines the transmission of video
and audio files in real time for Internet applications.

RTSP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) is the standard
used to transmit stored media to the client(s) at the
same time, which provides client controls for random
access to the content stream.

Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP was
designed to provide a common foundation for
managing network devices.

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, dual­attach stations, and concentrators are FDDI stations.

In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called
the subnet mask.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a
widely used transport protocol that connects diverse
computers of various transmission methods. It was
developed y the Department of Defense to connect
different computer types and led to the development of
the Internet.

A transceiver joins two network segments together.
Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that
uses one medium to a segment that uses a different
medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the transceiver
connects the network adapter or other network device
to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on
10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices
with AUI ports.

Wide-Area Network. A wide-area network consists of
groups of interconnected computers that are separated
by a wide distance and communicate with each other
via common carrier telecommunication techniques.

WEP is widely used as the basic security protocol in
Wi-Fi networks, which secures data transmissions
using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.

Windows is a graphical user interface for workstations
that use DOS.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is used to improve the
security of Wi-Fi networks, replacing the current WEP
standard. It uses its own encryption, Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP), to secure data during
transmission.

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, the latest security
specification that provides greater data protection and
network access control for Wi-Fi networks. WPA2 uses
the government-grade AES encryption algorithm and
IEEE 802.1X-based authentication, which are required
to secure large corporate networks.
