a mobile unit. The MDN is usually associated with a MIN in a cellular telephone -- in the US and Canada, the MDN

being different from the MIN.
MIN. Mobile Identification Number. The unique account number associated with a cellular device. It is broadcast by the
cellular device when accessing the cellular system.

33-foot range. Only devices within this limited area typically participate in the network.
PING. (Packet Internet Groper) An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is online. It is used
to test and debug a network by sending out a packet and waiting for a response.
R
