7.0 Technology Glossary
10Base-T
An adaptation of the Ethernet standard for Local Area Network (LAN).
10Base-T uses a twisted pair cable with maximum length of 100 meters.
AAL
ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and
reassembly of data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic
classes.
Address mask
A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing.
The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion of the Internet
address and one or more bits of the local portion. Sometimes called subnet
mask.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as it’s name showing, is an asymmetrical
data transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic
rate upstream. ADSL technology satisfies the bandwidth requirement of
applications, which demand “asymmetric” traffic, such as web surfing, file
download and Video-on-demand (VOD).
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a layer 2 protocol supporting high-speed
asynchronous data with advanced traffic management and quality of service
features.
bps
Bits per second. A standard measurement of digital transmission speeds.
Bridge
A device that connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets
between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward
only certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward
electrical signals from one cable to the other, and full-fledged routers which
make routing decisions based on several criteria.
CPE
Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Used for assigning dynamic IP address
to devices on a network. Used by ISPs for dialup users.
DNS
Domain Name Server, translates domain names into IP addresses to help user
recognize and remember. However, the Internet actually runs on numbered IP
addresses, DNS servers needs to translate domain names back to their
respective IP addresses.
20
WLAN ADSL2+ Route
r
DSL
Digital Line Subscriber (DSL) technology provides high-speed access over
twisted copper pair for connection to the Internet, LAN interfaces, and to
broadband services such as video-on-demand, distance learning, and video
conferencing.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer
files between hosts.
IPoA (RFC 1577)
Classical IP and ARP over ATM. Considers ATM configured as a Logic IP
Sub-network(LIS) to replace Ethernet local LAN segments.
ISP
Internet service provider. A company that allows home and corporate users to
connect to the Internet.
LAN
Local area network. A limited distance (typically under a few kilometers or a
couple of miles) high-speed network (typically 4 to 100 Mbps) that supports
many computers.
MAC
Media Access Control Layer. A sub-layer of the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of
the ISO OSI Model responsible for media control.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit
NAT
Network Address Translator as defined by RFC 1631. Enables a LAN to use
one set of IP address for internal traffic. A NAT box located where the LAN
meets the Internet provides the necessary IP address translation. This helps
provide a sort of firewall and allow for a wider address range to be used
internally without danger of conflict.
PPP
Point-to-Point-Protocol. The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router
and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous
circuits.
PPPoA (RFC 2364)
The Point-to-Point Protocol(PPP) provides a standard method for transporting
multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. This document describes
the use of ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated
packets.
21
WLAN ADSL2+ Route
r
PPPoE (RFC 2516)
This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP
packets over Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to
connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote
Access Concentrator.
PVC
Permanent Virtual Circuit. Connection-oriented permanent leased line circuit
between end-stations on a network over a separate ATM circuit.
RFC
Request for Comments. The document series, begun in 1969, which describes
the Internet suite of protocols and related experiments. Not all RFCs describe
Internet standards, but all Internet standards are written up as RFCs
RFC 1483
Multi-protocol encapsulation over AAL-5. Two encapsulation methods for
carrying network interconnect traffic over ATM AAL-5. The first method allows
multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit. The
protocol of a carried PDU is identified by prefixing the PDU by an IEEE 802.2
Logical Link Control (LLC) header. This method is in the following called
"LLC Encapsulation". The second method does higher-layer protocol
multiplexing implicitly by ATM Virtual Circuits (VCs). It is in the following
called "VC Based Multiplexing".
Router
A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths
network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to
gain information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route
based on several criteria known as "routing metrics.
Spanning Tree
Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP). Part of an IEEE standard. A mechanism
for detecting and preventing loops from occurring in a multi-bridged
environment. When bridges connect three or more LAN segments, a loop can
occur. Because a bridge forwards all packets that are not recognized as being
local, some packets can circulate for long periods of time, eventually degrading
system performance. This algorithm ensures only one path connects any pair
of stations, selecting one bridge as the 'root' bridge, with the highest priority
one as identifier, from which all paths should radiate.
TELNET
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows users of
one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that
host.
VCI
Virtual Circuit Identifier. Part of the ATM cell header, a VCI is a tag indicating
the channel over which a cell will travel. The VCI of a cell can be changed as it
moves between switches via Signaling.
22

selected applications. With the default IP 0.0.0.0, any client would be allowed to remotely
access the WLAN ADSL2+ Router.
NAT Setting
Go to Advanced Setup->NAT to setup the NAT features. Network Address Translation (NAT)
allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single public IP address
or multiple public IP addresses. NAT can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local
addresses to public addresses for key services such as the Web or FTP.

Virtual Server
Go to Advanced Setup ->NAT -> Virtual Server to set virtual server as you need.(known as
Port Mapping).You can configure the router as a virtual server so that remote users accessing
services such as the Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be
automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words,
depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port numbers), the router redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). For some
applications, you need to assign a set or a range of ports (example 4000-5000) to a specified
local machine to route the packets. The router allows the user to configure the needed port
mappings to suit such applications.

DMZ Setting
Go to Advanced Setup ->NAT -> DMZ to set DMZ parameters. If you have a local client PC
that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open the
client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a virtual DMZ Host.
Static Routing
Go to Advance Setup -> Routing ->Add to setup static route features.
The static routing function determines the path that router follows over your network before
and after it passes through your router. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain
users to access the Internet through this device.

r
Dynamic Routing
Go to Interface Setup -> Internet to select Dynamic Route as you need.
The dynamic routing feature of the router can be used to allow the router to automatically
adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. The router uses the dynamic RIP protocol. It
determines the route that the network packets take based on the fewest number of hops
between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing
information to other routers on the network.

VLAN
Go to Advanced Setup -> VLAN to enable VLAN features. Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of
devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they
were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN
segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very
flexible for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource optimization..
VLAN PVID
Go to Advanced Setup -> VLAN-> Assign VLAN PVID for each interface to setup VLAN
PVID features. Each physical port has a default VID called PVID (Port VID). PVID is assigned
to untagged frames or priority tagged frames (frames with null (0) VID) received on this port.

9.0 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
9.1 Universal Plug and Play Overview
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP
for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other
devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically
when it is no longer in use.
9.2 How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each
UPnP compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting
the icon of a UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that
device.
9.3 NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT.
UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their
presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and
service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:
¾ Dynamic port mapping
¾ Learning public IP addresses
¾ Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
See the Network Address Translation (NAT) chapter for further information about NAT.
9.4 Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services may
present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained
and modified by users in some network environments.
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional
configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.
See later sections for examples of installing UPnP in Windows XP and Windows Me as well as
an example of using UPnP in Windows.
