VIII-4. Glossary

Default Gateway (Wireless bridge): Every non-access point IP device needs to congregate a default gateway's IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the desnaon is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the desnaon.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Conguraon Protocol. This protocol automacally gives every computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess point.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandaccess point.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that idenes a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 porons: the IP network address, and the host idener.

The IP address is a 32-bit binary paern, which can be represented as four cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.

A network mask is also a 32-bit binary paern, and consists of consecutive leading 1's followed by consecutive trailing 0's, such as 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as "x" number of leading 1's. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1's 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 device's network address is 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is, 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and ecient method for access points to route IP packets to their desnaon.

ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for denion). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet access point located at the ISP's oce.

ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizaons.

LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an oce). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique idener for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are oen used as the product's serial number.

NAT: Network Address Translaon. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband access point's NAT capability, you can access the 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 disnguish one network applicaon/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applicaons and protocol/port numbers:

Applicaon	Protocol	Port Number
Telnet	TCP	23
FTP	TCP	21
SMTP	TCP	25
POP3	TCP	110
H.323	TCP	1720
SNMP	UCP	161
SNMP Trap	UDP	162
HTTP	TCP	80
PPTP	TCP	1723
PC Anywhere	TCP	5631
PC Anywhere	UDP	5632

Access point: A access point is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between dierent networks based on network layer address informaon such as IP addresses.

Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP informaon provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) congured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a parcular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. 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. dierent buildings, cies, 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 Microso Internet Explorer to Control/congure or monitor the device being managed.

Noce According to GNU General Public License Version 2

This product includes soware that is subject to the GNU General Public License version 2. The program is free soware and distributed without any warranty of the author. We oer, valid for at least three years, to give you, for a charge no more than the costs of physically performing source distribuon, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code.

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Soware Foundaon, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fih Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbam copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most soware are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free soware--to make sure the soware is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Soware Foundaon's soware and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Soware Foundaon soware is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free soware, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free soware (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the soware or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restricons that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restricons translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the soware, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gras or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the soware, and (2) oer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the soware.

Also, for each author's protecon and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free soware. If the soware is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not react on the original authors' reputaons.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by soware patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in eect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribuon and modicaon follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a noce placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a poron of it, either verbam or with modicaons and/or translated into another language. (Hereinaer, translaon is included without limitaon in the term “modicaon”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Acvies other than copying, distribuon and modicaon are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbam copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright noce and disclaimer of warranty; keep

intact all the noces that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your opon oer warranty protecon in exchange for a fee.

1. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any poron of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modicaons or work under the terms of Secon 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified les to carry prominent noces stang that you changed the les and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third pares under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Excepon: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If idenable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those seconds when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same seconds as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this secon to claim rights or contest your rights to work wrien enrely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribuon of derivave or collecve works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregaon of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribuon medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

1. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Secon 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Secons 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Secons 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for soware interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a wrien oer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribuon, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Secons 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for soware interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the informaon you received as to the oer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternate is allowed only for noncommercial distribuon and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an oer, in accord with Subsecon b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modicaons to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denion les, plus the scripts used to control compilaon and installaon of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operang system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribuon of executable or object code is made by oering access to copy from a designated place, then oering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribuon of the source code, even though third pares are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

1. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any aempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, pares who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such pares remain in full compliance.

2. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These acons are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distribution the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distribution or modifying the Program or works based on it.

3. Each me you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restricons on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third pares to this License.

4. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegaon of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), condions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the condions of this License, they do not excuse you from the condions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to sasfy simultaneously your obligaons under this License and any other pernent obligaons, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could sasfy both it and this License would be to refrain enrely from distribution of the Program.

If any poron of this secon is held invalid or unenforceable under any parcular circumstance, the balance of the secon is intended to apply and the secon as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this secon to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this secon has the sole purpose of protecng the integrity of the free soware distribuon system, which is implemented by public license pracces. Many people have made generous contribuons to the wide range of soware distributed through that system in reliance on consistent applicaon of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute soware through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This secon is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

1. If the distribuon and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribuon limitaon excluding those countries, so that distribuon is permied only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitaon as if wrien in the body of this License.

2. The Free Soware Foundaon may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to me. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a disguishing version number. If the Program species a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the opon of following the terms and condions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Soware Foundaon. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Soware Foundaon.

1. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribuon conditions are dierent, write to the author to ask for permission. For soware which is copyrighted by the Free Soware Foundaon, write to the Free Soware Foundaon; we somemes make excepons for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free soware and of promong the sharing and reuse of soware generally.

NO WARRANTY

1. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

2. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
