Internet Service Provider
A company that provides Internet access to its customers,
usually for a fee.
Local Area Network
A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a home or
small office.
Light Emitting Diode
An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights on the
front of the Mitel 1000 unit are LEDs.
Media Access Control address
The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned by its
manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as six pairs of hex
characters, with each pair separated by colons. For example;
NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN.
See network mask.
Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits per
second. Network data rates are often expressed in Mbps.
Network Address Translation
A service performed by many routers that translates your
network's publicly known IP address into a private IP address for
each computer on your LAN. Only your router and your LAN
know these addresses; the outside world sees only the public IP
address when talking to a computer on your LAN.
A group of computers that are connected together, allowing them
to communicate with each other and share resources, such as
software, files, etc. A network can be small, such as a LAN, or
very large, such as the Internet.
(Also known as encryption keys.) 64-bit and 128-bit encryption
keys used in WEP wireless security schemes. The keys encrypt
data over the WLAN, and only wireless PCs configured with WEP
keys that correspond to the keys configured on the device can
send/receive encrypted data.
A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an IP address to
select the network ID while ignoring the host ID. Bits set to 1
mean "select this bit" while bits set to 0 mean "ignore this bit."
For example, if the network mask 255.255.255.0 is applied to the
IP address 100.10.50.1, the network ID is 100.10.50, and the
host ID is 1. See binary, IP address, subnet.
Network Interface Card
An adapter card that plugs into your computer and provides the
physical interface to your network cabling. For Ethernet NICs this
is typically an RJ-45 connector. See Ethernet, RJ-45.
Data transmitted on a network consists of packets. Each packet
contains a payload (the data), plus overhead information such as
where it came from (source address) and where it should go
(destination address).
A secret password used in WPA wireless data encryption.
Encryption is based on a WPA master key that is derived from the
pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device. The pass
phrase should be at least 20 characters long in order to deter a
hacker attempting to crack the pass phrase by recording a series of
frames then trying commonly used passwords offline until one
works (known as offline PSK dictionary attacks).
Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper
A program used to verify whether the host associated with an IP
