Glossary

This section defines or identifies technical terms, abbreviations, and acronyms
used through out this document.

Administrator

An administrator performs the service of maintaining a network. In the case of
this CPE, the person who sets up the network connections and makes changes
to the settings.

BTS

Base Transceiver Station. The WiMAX service provider base transmitter pro­viding the WiMAX signal.

Client

A device on the network that uses the services of the CPE, for example a com­puter accessing the internet.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When enabled, this protocol automati­cally configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on the network.

Dial-Up

A connection which uses the public telephone network.

DNS Server Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers
to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.0.20).
A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain
names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typ­ing easyDNS.com into an Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP

Glossary

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

DSL Modem

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses an existing phone
lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet

A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special
cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10 million bits per second
(Mbps).

Firewall

An electronic boundary that prevents unauthorized users from accessing cer­tain files or computers on a network.

Firmware

Software stored in memory. Essential programs that remain even when the sys­tem is turned off. Firmware is easier to change than hardware but more perma­nent than software stored on a disk.

IP Address

IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four num­bers separated by periods, that identifies a single, unique Internet computer
host. Example: 192.34.45.8

ISP

Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the
Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.

LAN

Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). A home net­work is considered a LAN.

MAC Address

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware
address of a device connected to a network.

56

Glossary

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit. The largest unit of data that can be transmitted on
any particular physical medium.

NAT

Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on the
home network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Home­Connect home network gateway, access is available to the Internet from any
computer on the home network without having to purchase more IP addresses
from the ISP.

Port

A logical channel that is identified by its unique port number. Applications listen
on specific ports for information that may be related to it.

SNTP

Simple Network Time Protocol. A communication standard that allows for the
transmission of real time information over a network or the Internet.

SPI

Stateful Packet Inspection. SPI is the type of corporate-grade Internet security
provided by a HomeConnect home network gateway. Using SPI, the gateway
acts as a firewall, protecting the network from computer hackers.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by the
ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used to create
IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid
IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by Inter­NIC).

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol. The most common Internet transport layer pro­tocol. TCP is connection-oriented and stream-oriented, and provides for reli­able communication over packet-switched networks.

TCP / IP

Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol. This is the standard pro­tocol for data transmission over the Internet.

57

Glossary

UDP

User Datagram Protocol. Communications protocol for the Internet network
layer, transport layer, and session layer, which makes it possible to send a dat­agram message from one computer to an application running in another com­puter. Unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable
communication; the application itself must process any errors and check for
reliable delivery.
