6. Glossary
Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default
gateway IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not
on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which
will then send it to the destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per
second (Mbps).
Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic on the Internet
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading
1s followed by consecutive trailing 0s, such as
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can
also be described simply as x number of leading 1s.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address
that correspond to 1s in the network mask become part of the IP network address,
and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the devices network address is
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method
for routers to route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP
together in a relatively small area (such as home or office). Your home network is
considered a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the
home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband routers NAT capability,
you can access Internet from any computer on your home network without having to
purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network

data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for
Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and
the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting
information over Ethernet between different manufacturers.
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple
parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the
interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without
confusion or misunderstanding.
Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an
IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular
network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which
must be assigned by InterNIC).

Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data
transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols. TCP
performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the
other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a
network layer protocol.
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in
geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet
is a wide area network.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a
graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use
the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor
the device being managed.
