DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for dynamically
assigning IP addresses from a pre-defined list to nodes on a
network. Using DHCP to manage IP addresses simplifies client
configuration and efficiently utilizes IP addresses.
DNS Domain Name System: The name resolution system that lets
users locate computers on the Internet (TCP/IP network) by
domain name. The DNS server maintains a database of domain
names (host names) and their corresponding IP addresses.
DRAP Dynamic Resource Allocation Protocol
IDU Indoor Unit
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE
(pronounced I-triple-E) is an organization composed of engineers,
scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for developing
standards for the computer and electronics industry. In
particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local-area networks are
widely followed.
IEEE 802.11b The standard applies to wireless LANs and provides data rate of
11 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
IEEE 802.11g The standard applies to wireless LANs and provides data rate of
54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
IP Internet Protocol. The standard that defines how data is
transmitted over the Internet. IP bundles data, including e-mail,
faxes, voice calls and messages, and other types, into "packets",
in order to transmit it over public and private networks.
LAN Local area Network. A computer network limited to a small
geographical area, such as a single building. The network
typically links PCs as well as shared resources such as printers.
MAC Media Access Control. The lower of the two sub-layers of the data
link layer defined by the IEEE. The MAC sub-layer handles
access to shared media, such as whether token passing or
contention will be used.
Glossary
MAC Address Standardized data link layer address that is required for every
port or device that connects to a LAN. Other devices in the
network use these addresses to locate specific ports in the
network and to create and update routing tables and data
structures. MAC addresses are 6bytes long and are controlled by
the IEEE.
NAT Network Address Translation: An IETF standard that allows an
organization to present itself to the Internet with far fewer IP
addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. The NAT
technology, which is typically implemented in a router, converts
private IP addresses (such as in the 192.168.0.0 range) of the
machine on the internal private network to one or more public IP
addresses for the Internet. It changes the packet headers to the
new address and keeps track of each session. When packets
come back from the Internet, NAT performs the reverse
conversion to the IP address of the client machine.
ODU Outdoor unit
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE relies on two widely
accepted standards: PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification
for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a
common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless
device or cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a
common connection, so the Ethernet principles supporting
multiple users in a LAN combines with the principles of PPP,
which apply to serial connections.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management
protocol that provides a means to monitor and control network
devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection,
performance, and security. SNMP works by sending messages,
called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about
themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return
this data to the SNMP requesters.
SU Subscriber Unit
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A set of
protocols developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to allow
communication between dissimilar networks and systems over
long distances. TCP/IP is the de facto standard for data
transmission over networks, including the Internet.

TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that
allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over a
network, usually without the use of client authentication.
UDP User Datagram Protocol. Connectionless transport layer protocol
in the TCP/IP protocol stack. UDP is a simple protocol that
exchanges datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed
delivery, requiring that error processing and retransmission be
handled by other protocols. UDP is defined in RFC 768.
WAN Wide Area Network. A computer network that spans a relatively
large geographical area. Wide area networks can be made up of
interconnected smaller networks spread throughout a building, a
state, or the entire globe.
