  • Page 157: Glossary

    Glossary Glossary ADSL short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL (G.992.1/G992.2) was developed on the basis of DSL technology in order to satisfy the increasing demand for high- er throughput rates during uploading and downloading. designates a fast kind of data transmission that works with standard copper cables and transports signals in both direc- tions at different speeds (upstream at 640 Kbit/s and down- stream at up to 9 Mbit/s).
  • Page 158 Glossary ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for down- stream transmission, and thus double the maximum band- width achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s. ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal devices compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2+.

  • Page 159: Default Gateway

    Glossary can always be reached from the Internet, regardless of the user’s location. Even private users have an economical way of placing their own Internet offers on their computer at home. Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet Service Provider assigns a new public IP address.
  • Page 160 Glossary DHCP server The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that is has not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server also informs the client of the IP addresses of the DNS server to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP ad- dresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed range of IP addresses.
  • Page 161 Glossary DSL modem A DSL modem connects a computer to the Internet via the DSL line. In contrast to the analog modem, a connection via the DSL modem does not mean that the telephone line is busy. DSL router A DSL router generally combines three different devices: a DSL modem (see glossary), a router, and a LAN switch.
  • Page 162 Glossary called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time she or he dials in to the Internet. By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP networks because they are easy to handle, and because us- ing them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional double assignments.
  • Page 163 Glossary firewall A firewall protects a computer or local network against at- tacks from the Internet. Most firewalls work with packet filters, which merely check the IP addresses and port numbers of incoming and outgoing data packets and filter the packets according to prescribed rules.

  • Page 164: Internet Telephony

    Glossary If a computer wants to transfer data packets to a computer in another network, it must first transmit the packet to the gate- way. To do this, the computer must know the address of the gateway. If all packets that cannot be delivered in a local network al- ways are to be transmitted to their given recipients via the same gateway, for this purpose the address of the gateway must be saved as the default gateway in the network settings...
  • Page 165 Glossary The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation.
  • Page 166 Glossary IPv6 addresses are structured differently from IPv4 address- es. IP addresses can be written in decimal, octal or hexadeci- mal format. IP masquerading IP masquerading is a technique used within IPv4 networks. With IP masquerading a computer or LAN can be protected from unauthorized connection requests from the Internet.
  • Page 167 Glossary while generally there is only one public IP address available for the Internet. To grant the network devices access to the In- ternet, the router replaces the private IP address of the send- er with its own public IP address in all outgoing data packets. The router saves all necessary information in a table so that incoming data packets can then be assigned to the correct network device.

  • Page 168: Port Forwarding

    Glossary port forwarding With port forwarding it is possible to specify ports that will al- low all incoming or outgoing data packets to pass through a router or firewall. If a computer from the local network offers server services, for instance, the settings of a router using NAT (see glossary) or...

    (see glossary) Stick & Surf Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast, simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio networks. This technique allows for the straightforward transmission of all important parameters of a radio network from the WLAN base station to any computer that is to be added to the radio network.
  • Page 170 Glossary switch A switch is a device that connects multiple network devices with each other, for instance through an Ethernet. In contrast to a hub, a switch can establish direct connections between the connected devices. This makes it possible to send data packets directly to specific recipients.

  • Page 171: Uplink Port

    Glossary Encryption and ID verification ensure that the automatic con- figuration of the FRITZ!Box can not be intercepted or per- formed by unauthorized parties. Automatic configuration of the FRITZ!Box is possible only if the Internet Service Provider supports remote configuration with TR-069.
  • Page 172 Glossary UPnP short for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP is an extension of the Microsoft Plug & Play standard that allows devices to network globally and to exchange ser- vices—without a central server or computer. UPnP allows devices from all kinds of manufacturers (stereo systems, routers, printers, house controls) to be controlled via an IP-based network (see...
  • Page 173 Glossary By now many other devices also have a USB port. For in- stance, many DVD and Blue-ray players can play back photo- graphs, videos and music directly from a USB storage medi- um (hard drive, flash drive). The Universal Serial Bus supports hot plugging. This means that USB devices can be connected without turning the com- puter off.
  • Page 174 Glossary In principle, VoIP calls can be made over any Internet connec- tion. However, for convenient use with existing terminal de- vices, and for conversations with the fixed-line and mobile networks, it is important that the Internet Service Provider support what is known as the SIP standard. SIP is the current standard defined for VoIP by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
  • Page 175 Glossary WLAN short for Wireless Local Area Network The term WLAN designates the industry standard for wireless local networks passed by the Institute of Electrical and Elec- tronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997 under the title IEEE 802.11. By means of WLAN technology, individual computers or net- work devices like printers or DSL access points can be linked wirelessly to an existing cable-connected local network (LAN), or LANs can be converted completely to a wireless structure.
