Chapter 3: Additional Information
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) – The worldwide voice telephone network which
provides dial tone, ringing, full-duplex voice band audio and optional services using standard
telephones.
Provisioning - The process of enabling the Media Terminal Adapter (MTA) to register and
provide services over the network.
SecureEasySetup – The software radically simplifies Wi-Fi® wireless LAN configuration, allowing
even first-time Wi-Fi users to setup and secure their wireless networks with the push of a button.
Whereas a typical Wi-Fi installation requires a user to manually configure several technical
settings on each wireless device, SecureEasySetup simply requires a user to push a button on the
wireless router/ Access Point, and a corresponding button on the PC or other client device. This
automates the connection process and activates Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), the strongest
security standard available to protect home and small business wireless networks from
unauthorized use.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – A networking protocol that
provides communication across interconnected networks, between computers with diverse
hardware architectures and various operating systems.
TFTP - Trivial File Transfer Protocol, the system by which the Media Terminal Adapter's
configuration data file is downloaded.
TSP - Telephony Service Provider, an organization that provides telephone services such as dial
tone, local service, long distance, billing and records, and maintenance.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) – USB is a "plug-and-play" interface between a computer and add-on
devices, such as a Residential Voice Gateway.
Xpress Technology - One of the popular performance-enhancing WiFi technologies, designed to
improve wireless network efficiency and boost throughput. It is more efficient in mixed
environments, and it can work with 802.11a/b/g networks.
