RFCs.
Routing Information Protocol is an interior or intra-domain routing protocol that uses
the distance-vector routing algorithms. RIP is used on the Internet and is common in
the NetWare environment as a method for exchanging routing information between
routers.
An EIA standard which is the most common way of linking data devices together.
A computer, or a software package that provides a specific kind of service to client
software running on other computers.
The SMT (System Management Terminal) is the interface that you use to configure
your Prestige.
System Network Management Protocol is a popular management protocol defined by
the Internet community for TCP/IP networks. It is a communication protocol for
collecting information from devices on the network.
A filter to separate ADSL signals from POTS signals to prevent mutual interference.
Twisted-pair cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator. Two
wires are twisted together to form a pair and the pair form a balanced circuit. The
twisting prevents interference problems. STP (shielded twisted-pair) provides
protection against external crosstalk.
A cable that wires a pin to its equivalent pin. This cable connects two dissimilar
devices, for example, a data terminal equipment (DTE) device and a data
communications equipment (DCE) device. A straight-through Ethernet cable is the
most common cable used.
SUA (Single User Account) is a proprietary ZyXEL implementation of a subset of
NAT that supports two types of mapping, Many-to-One and Server – see also NAT.
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.
SYSLOG allows you to log significant system information to a remote server.
Twenty-four voice channels packed into a 193 bit frame and transmitted at 1.544
Mbps. The unframed version, or payload, is 192 bits at a rate of 1.536 Mbps.
