A device that acts as a communication hub for multiple wireless devices, and conventionally enables
both wired and wireless LAN connections.
An Internet connection technology/service (such as ADSL and optical fiber) that allows for high-
speed, high-volume data communication.
The software used to search for, access, and view web pages. For this instrument, this refers to the
display that shows the contents of the web pages.
A system that records certain information that the user transfers when visiting a website and using
the Internet. The function is similar to a preference file in a conventional computer program, in that
it "remembers" certain information such as your user name and password, so you don't have to re-
enter the information each time you visit the site.
This is a standard or protocol by which IP addresses and other low-level network configuration
information can be dynamically and automatically assigned each time connection is made to the
Internet.
Transferring data over a network, from a larger "host" system to a smaller "client" system's hard drive
or other local storage device—much like copying files from your hard disk drive to a floppy disk. For
this instrument, this refers to the process of transferring Song and other data from a website to the
instrument.
The first page shown when opening a browser and connecting to the Internet. This phrase is also
used to mean the "front screen" or top page of a website.
A huge network made up of networks, the Internet allows high-speed data transfer among
computers, mobile phones and other devices.
A string of numbers assigned to each computer connected to a network, and indicating the device's
location on the network.
Short for Local Area Network, this is a data-transfer network that connects a group of computers at
a single location (such as an office or home) by means of a special cable.
Location information in other sentences and images, etc. that are under buttons and character
strings on a web page. When the place with the link is clicked, the page selection jumps to the
relevant link.
A device which connects and allows data transfer between a conventional telephone line and a
computer. It converts the digital signals from the computer to analog audio for sending over the
phone line, and vice versa.
A communications business that offers Internet connection services. In order to connect to the
Internet, it is necessary to contract to a provider.
A proxy server is a server that all computers on a local network have to go through before accessing
information on the Internet. It intercepts all or designated requests to the real server to see if it can
fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers are used to
improve performance and speed, and to filter requests, usually for security and to prevent
unauthorized access to an internal network.
A device for connecting multiple computer networks. For example, a router is necessary when
connecting several computers in a house or office, and allow them to all access the Internet and share
data. A router is usually connected between a modem and a computer, although some modems have
a built-in router.
A hardware system or computer used as a central point for a network, providing access to files and
services.
