TAE
Telecommunications connecting unit (German: Telekommunikations-Anschlussein-
heit). Connector for connecting analogue telecommunications devices. F for phone, N
for additional devices such as fax or answer machines.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is part of the
TCP/IP
protocol family. TCP handles data
transport between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based trans-
mission protocol, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transporting
data.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Protocol family on which the Internet
is based. IP forms the basis of each PC to PC connection.
TCP
provides applications with
a reliable transmission link in the form of a continuous data stream. TCP/IP is the basis
on which services such as WWW, Mail and News are built. There are other protocols as
well. In order to access the Internet from a PC, TCP/IP must be set up on the PC.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol. UDP is a
Protocol
of the
TCP/IP
protocol family that handles
data transport between two communication partners (applications). Unlike TCP, UDP is
a non-session based protocol. It does not establish a fixed connection. The recipient is
responsible for making sure the data is received. The sender is not notified about
whether it is received or not.
Uplink
Data that your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX forwards from your PC or local network to external
sites (e.g. to the Internet).
URL
Universal Resource Locator. Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet, e.g.
http://www.sagem-communications.com.
Virtual server
A virtual
Server
provides a service on the Internet that runs not on itself, but on another
network component. The Gigaset SE681 WiMAX can be configured as a virtual server. It
will then direct incoming calls for a service via
Port forwarding
directly to the appropri-
ate
Port
of the network component in question.
WAN
Wide Area Network. A WAN is a network that is not restricted to one particular area,
such as the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private
access. You access the Internet via a Provider.
