DMZ - Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when the
special application sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly
DNS - DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain
name (such as www.smc.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS serv
database of host computers and their respective domain name
name is requested (as in typing " www.smc.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper
IP address. The DNS server address used by the c
DNS server your ISP has assigned.
DSL - DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your 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).
ESS - ESS (ESS-ID, SSID) stands for "Extended Service Set". More than one BSS is configured to
become an Extended Service Set. LAN mobile users can roam between different BSSs in an ESS (ESS-
ID, SSID).
Fast Ethernet NIC - Network interface card that is in compliance with the IEEE 802.3u standard. This
card functions at the media access control (MAC) layer, using carrier sense multiple access with collision
detection (CSMA/CD).
Fixed IP – (see Static IP)
Full-Duplex - Transmitting and receiving data simultaneously. In pure digital networks, this is
achieved with two pairs of wires. In analog networks, or digital networks using carriers, it is achieved
by dividing the bandwidth of the line into two frequencies, one for sending, one for receiving.
- Central connection device for shared media in a star topology. It may add nothing to the
H ub
tr ansmission (passive hub) or may contain electronics that regenerate signals to boost strength as well as
m onitor activity (active/intelligent hub). Hubs may be added to bus topologies; for example, a hub can
tu rn an Ethernet network into a star topology to improve troubleshooting.
ID – The data fields in an MP3 that hold the artist name, track titles, album titles, genre, etc are known as
3
ID 3 tags.
- IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers
IP Address
se parated by periods, that identifies an single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8.
- Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as
IP Security
th e Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication.
- Internet Security Association and Key Manangement Protocol. The basis for IKE.
