SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. A standard for network management
that uses a common software agent to manage local and wide area network
equipment from different vendors.
SOCKS
An Internet protocol that lets IP client applications connect to the Internet
through a firewall.
SPID
Service Profile Identifier. Used only in North America, SPID numbers are
unique identifier numbers provided by your local telephone company when
you install an ISDN line. Usually, two SPID numbers are provided, but
sometimes one and even none is provided. In many cases, both SPID numbers
are required if you want to connect at a speed greater than 64 Kb/s. A SPID
number is typically 14 digits long and consists of the 10-digit telephone
number (area code plus phone number), followed by the digits "0101." Other
variations of this number are possible and your telephone company can
provide you with the correct information for your ISDN line.
STP
Shielded Twisted Pair.
subnet mask
A value used to route packets on TCP/IP networks. The subnet mask is
automatically computed based on the IP address and might differ, depending
on whether your installation uses nonstandard subnets. With Instant Internet,
you do not change a subnet mask address unless you are familiar with IP
addressing practices.
synchronous
Signals that are sourced from the same timing reference. Synchronous causes
the interval between successive bits, characters, or events to remain constant
or locked in to a specific clock frequency.
T1
A North American Telecommunications term for a digital carrier facility used
to transmit a DS-1 formatted signal at 1.544 Mb/s.
