DISCUS™ DRG A124G

To connect the Ethernet cable:

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports on the rear of the Router
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Network card of your computer
3. Verify if the Ethernet Network card is configured as DHCP client, otherwise configure it to remain in the same local network of the router interface (see chapter "Setting Up Your Computer")

The LAN port on the Router auto-negotiates the connection speed and the duplex mode with the connecting device.

Use twisted-pair cabling to connect the Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN ports on the Router to an Ethernet hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position to ensure that is properly seated.

Do not plug a phone jack into RJ-45. This may damage the Router. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. We recommend using Category 5 cable for connections with the device. Also, make sure the length of each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

DISCUS™ DRG A124G

The Router has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to the computers on your network using DHCP. However, your computers need to be configured correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of your computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this chapter.

INSTALL SOFTWARE

The very first time you set up your computer, we recommend you to use the Smart Setup Configuration Utility if your ISP has provided you with.

Before installing the DISCUS™ DRG A124G software please close all applications to avoid any conflict.

This utility offers a guided product tour, a step by step hardware installation guide, a software installation guide, a setup and a driven user registration with DSL Internet connection line check.

Smart Setup Configuration Utility allows, for supported Microsoft® Windows Operating Systems, to setup automatically your computer Ethernet settings.

To launch it, insert the CD-ROM in CD-ROM unit: if the auto-play function is enabled it will start automatically, otherwise open it manually from "x.", where x is your CD-ROM drive letter.

ETHERNET CONNECTION

You have to verify the existence of a TCP/IP protocol stack and, then, according to your Operating System, to establish an Ethernet connection to the Router. This connection will require you to enable your computer to receive from the Router its own IP Address automatically: in such a case, the Router acts like the DHCP server in your local network.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

To access the Internet through the Router, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as Router. The default IP settings for the Router are:

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.1

SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0

These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must first configure at least one computer to access the router's web configuration interface in order to make the required changes.

A Domain Name Server (DNS) is an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as, a DNS server will find that name in its index and find the matching IP address: www.xnaw.com. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since your Service Provider may connect to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IPs are also provided dynamically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address here.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
Beacon Interval	This represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power safe mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point)

© (2008) Pirelli Broadband Solutions S.p.A. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary Use Pursuant to Cover Page Instructions.

TABLE 6. Parameters in Advanced Setting panel

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
DTIM Interval	Delivery Traffic Indication Message, indicates when DTIM occurs. A DTIM interval is a count of the number of beacon frames that must occur before the access point sends the buffered multicast frames. For example, a DTIM interval of one means that the multicast are sent after each beacon frame. A DTIM interval of two indicates that multicast frames are sent after every two beacon frames, and so on. Because each beacon frame includes a field that identifies the DTIM interval, all stations know when to wake up and receive multicast frames if they are implementing power saving
Fragmentation Threshold	This is the maximum size for directed data packets transmitted. Larger frames fragment into several packets this size or smaller before transmission. The receiving station then reassembles the transmitted fragments.
RTS Threshold (Request to Send)	This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet. Using a small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often consuming more of the available bandwidth m therefore reducing the apparent throughput of the network packet. However, the more RTS packets that are sent, the quicker the system can recover from interference or collision
WMM Mode	Wireless Multimedia support. WMM prioritizes traffic according to 4 AC (Access Categories) – voice, video, best effort and background. However, it does not provide guaranteed throughput. It is suitable for simple application that require QoS.

FIGURE 2 Address Mapping configuration

Address Mapping

Network Address Translation (IAT) allows IP addresses used in a private local network to be mapped to one or more addresses used in the public, global Internet. This feature limits the number of public IP address required from the ISP and also maintains the privacy and security of the local network. We allow one or more than one public IP address to be mapped to a pool of local addresses.

Address Mapping 1. Global IP: 192 168 1 10 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs from 192.160.1.10 c192.160.1 244 2. Global IP: 0 0 0 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs from 192.160.1.0 c192.160.1 0 3. Global IP: 0 0 0 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs from 192.160.1.0 c192.160.1 0 4.

Global IP: 0 0 0 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs from 192.160.1.0 c192.160.1 0 7. Global IP: 0 0 0 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs from 192.160.1.0 c192.160.1 0 8. Global IP: 0 0 0 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs from 192.160.1.0 c192.160.1 0 9. Global IP: 0 0 0 is transformed as multiple virtual IPs

NAT >> VIRTUAL SERVER

If you configure the Router as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP / UDP port number), the Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

In Figure 3, the Router configuration working as Virtual Server is shown.

FIGURE 3 Virtual Server Router configuration

Virtual Server

You can configure the router at a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as the web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). The tool can support both port ranges, multiple ports, and combinations of the two.

For example:

◆ Port Ranges: ex. 100-150

Multiple Ports ex. 25,110,80

Combination: ex-25-100.80

No.	LAN IP Address	Protocol Type		LAN Port	Public Port	Enable
1	192.168.1.10	TCP		24	38		Add Clean
2	192.168.1.25	UDP		32	39		Add Clean
3	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
4	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
5	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
6	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
7	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
8	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
9	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
10	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean
11	192.168.1.	TCP					Add Clean

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (http or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.1.40/80 then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.1.40 on port 80. Therefore by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

The more common TCP service ports include:HTTP:80, FTP:21, Telnet:23 and POP3:110.

All list of ports is maintained at the following link:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

NAT >> SPECIAL APPLICATION

ROUTING >> RIP

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of the change.

Firewall Section

The Router's firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks.

Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access to network resources.

The router protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan and TCP SYN flooding.

The firewall doesn't significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network.

Select Enable radio button and select the SAVE SETTINGS button to open the firewall submenus (see Figure 1).

FIGURE 1 Enabling Firewall screen

Security Settings (Firewall)

The Device provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of hacker attack, and defending against a wide array of common attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitated zone (DMZ).

FIREWALL >> INTRUSION DETECTION

It is used to detect and block common hacker attacks. The main firewall feature is SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) that supports many applications that are using port numbers. In this section menu there is some fields:

• Intrusion Detection Feature

Intrusion Detection Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled)

The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming traffic at the WAN port will be blocked except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection

DISCUS™ DRG A124G

section

RIP Defect (Default: Disabled)

If an RIP request packet is not acknowledged to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the packets from accumulating.

Discard Ping to WAN (Default : Enabled)

Prevent a ping on the Router's WAN port from being routed to the network.

• Stateful Packet inspection

It's called a "stateful" packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the started destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from the previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is requested.

When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only checks "FTP service" in the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local LAN.

Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic ports numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

FIGURE 8 Intrusion detection panel

Intrusion Detection

When the SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall feature is enabled, all packets can be blocked. Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) allows full support of different application types that are using dynamic port numbers. For the applications checked in the list below, the Device will support full operation as initiated from the local LAN.

The Device firewall can block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smart Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP STN flooding.

SNMP Community

In the context of SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP managers defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one, defined at the agent. The agent establishes one community for each desired combination of authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics. Each community is given a unique (within this agent) community name, and the management stations within that community are provided with and must employ the community name in all get operations. The agent may establish a number of communities, with overlapping management station membership.

DDNS Section

This section is intended to describe the use and settings of DDNS functionality: DDNS indeed allows for the external and dynamic updating of a specified zone by other hosts or processes. The router can send a record update to the appropriate DNS server based on a DHCP client's NetBIOS name. The update occurs after the IP address lease is negotiated and is removed when the lease expires.

By selecting DDNS menu item (see Figure 1), it will be possible to map a static Domain Name to a dynamic IP address. To get advantage of this feature, it is necessary to get an account, a password and a static domain name from a DDNS Service Provider (this router supports DDNS services from www.dyndns.org and www.tzo.com).

FIGURE 1 DDNS Panel

Important Safety Information

This appendix contains directions that you must follow for your personal safety.

Follow all directions carefully. You must read the following safety information carefully before you install or remove the unit.

- Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the unit. The use of an alternative adapter can damage the Router and invalidate the warranty.

- Use an electrical outlet within easy distance and do not damage the power cable.

- To avoid electrical shock, do not open the Router.

- To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose your Router to rain or moisture, liquid and toxic substances.

- Particular care must be taken during installation and removal of cables and telephone line.

- Never touch uninsulated telephone wire or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

- Ensure the correct ventilation to the Router. Do not obstruct the air conducts and do not lean anything over.

- Verify to place the Router out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

- Avoid using your Router during an electrical storm.

- The Router generates and uses Radio Frequency (RF) energy. In some environments, the use of RF energy is not permitted. The user should seek local advice on whether or not RF energy is permitted within the area of intended use.

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on this electric or electronic equipment, or on its packaging, indicates that, at the end of its life, it must not be disposed of as unsorted household waste. Instead it must be separately collected.

As a consumer you must, therefore, use the specific collection schemes and, in particular, the municipal collection schemes provided for waste electrical and electronic equipment.

The separate collection and appropriate treatment of the equipment at the time of disposal helps to conserve natural resources and to ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment from materials, components and substances that can be dangerous to the environment and harmful to human health.

Furthermore, the separate collection and appropriate treatment of the equipment, at the time of disposal, facilitates its possible reuse or possible materials recovery.

The Internet Protocol Suite

The Internet protocol suite consists of a well-defined set of communications protocols and several standard application protocols. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably the most widely known and is a combination of two of the protocols (IP and TCP) working together. TCP/IP is an internationally adopted and supported networking standard that provides connectivity between equipment from many vendors over a wide variety of networking technologies.

Managing the Router over the Network

To manage a device over the network, the Router must be correctly configured with the following IP information:

• An IP address
• A Subnet Mask

IP Addresses and Subnet Masks

Each device on your network must have a unique IP address to operate correctly. An IP address identifies the address of the device to which data is being sent and the address of the destination network. IP addresses have the format n.n.n.x where n is a decimal number between 0 and 255 and x is a number between 1 and 254 inclusive.

However, an IP Address alone is not enough to make your device operate. In addition to the IP address, you need to set a subnet mask. All networks are divided into smaller sub-networks and a subnet mask is a number that enables a device to identify the sub-network to which it is connected.

For your network to work correctly, all devices on the network must have:

• The same sub-network address.
• The same subnet mask.

The only value that will be different is the specific host device number. This value must always be unique.

An example IP address is '192.168.1.8'. However, the size of the network determines the structure of this IP Address. In using the Router, you will probably only encounter two types of IP Address and subnet mask structures.

Type One

In a small network, the IP address of '192.168.1.8' is split into two parts:

• Part one ('192.168.1') identifies the network on which the device resides.
• Part two ('.8') identifies the device within the network.

This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of '255.255.255.0'.

Type Two

In larger networks, where there are more devices, the IP address of '192.168.1.8' is, again, split into two parts but is structured differently:

• Part one ('192.168') identifies the network on which the device resides.
• Part two ('.1.8') identifies the device within the network.

This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of '255.255.0.0'.

How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask?

There are three different ways to obtain an IP address and the subnet mask. These are:

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Addressing
- Static Addressing
• Automatic Addressing (Auto-IP Addressing)

DHCP Addressing

The Router contains a DHCP server, which allows computers on your network to obtain an IP address and subnet mask automatically. DHCP assigns a temporary IP address and subnet mask which gets reallocated once you disconnect from the network.

DHCP will work on any client Operating System. Also, using DHCP means that the same IP address and subnet mask will never be duplicated for devices on the network. DHCP is particularly useful for networks with large numbers of users on them.

Static Addressing

You must enter an IP Address and the subnet mask manually on every device. Using a static IP and subnet mask means the address is permanently fixed.

Auto-IP Addressing

Network devices use automatic IP addressing if they are configured to acquire an address using DHCP but are unable to contact a DHCP server. Automatic IP addressing is a scheme where devices allocate themselves an IP address at random from the industry standard subnet of 169.254.x.x (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). If two devices allocate themselves the same address, the conflict is detected and one of the devices allocates itself a new address. Automatic IP addressing support was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows 98 operating system and is also supported in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Vista.

802.11b

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 11 Mbps. The standard provides for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

802.11g

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 54 Mbps. The standard provides for 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

10BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable.

100BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

Access Point

An Access Point is a device through which wireless clients connect to other wireless clients and which acts as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired network, such as Ethernet. Wireless clients can be moved anywhere within the coverage area of the access point and still connect with each other. If connected to an Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to the wireless network, while also monitoring wireless client radio traffic and forwarding wireless client messages to the Ethernet LAN.

Ad Hoc mode

Ad Hoc mode is a configuration supported by most wireless clients. It is used to connect a peer to peer network together without the use of an access point. It offers lower performance than infrastructure mode, which is the mode the router uses. (see also Infrastructure mode.

Auto-negotiation

Some devices in the range support auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation is where two devices sharing a link, automatically configure to use the best common speed. The order of preference (best first) is: 100BASE-TX full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, and 10BASE-T half duplex. Auto-negotiation is defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet and is an operation that takes place in a few milliseconds.

Bandwidth

The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel can transmit. The bandwidth of Ethernet is 10 Mbps, the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet is 100 Mbps. The bandwidth for 802.11b wireless is 11Mbps.

Category 5 Cables

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-586 standard. Category 5 can be used in Ethernet (10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet networks (100BASE-TX) and can transmit data up to speeds of 100 Mbps. Category 5 cabling is better to use for network cabling than Category 3, because it supports both Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds.

Channel

Similar to any radio device, the Wireless Cable/DSL router allows you to choose different radio channels in the wireless spectrum. A channel is a particular frequency within the 2.4GHz spectrum within which the Router operates.

Client

The term used to describe the desktop PC that is connected to your network.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address for every computer on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP addresses to workstations on a network. These assignments are made by the DHCP server software that runs on Windows NT Server, and Windows 95 and Windows 98 will call the server to obtain the address. Windows 98 will allocate itself an address if no DHCP server can be found.

DMZ

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is an area outside the firewall, to let remote users to have access to items on your network (Web site, FTP download and upload area, etc.).

DNS Server Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as pirelli.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "pirelli.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

DSL

Short for digital subscriber line, but is commonly used in reference to the asymmetric version of this technology (ADSL) that allows data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world gain access.

DSL modem

DSL stands for digital subscriber line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to send and receive data at high speeds.

Encryption

A method for providing a level of security to wireless data transmissions. The Router uses two levels of encryption; 40/64 bit and 128 bit. 128 bit is a more powerful level of encryption than 40/64 bit.

Ethernet

A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of 10 Mbps over a variety of cables.

Ethernet Address

See MAC address.

Fast Ethernet

An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 Mbps.

Firewall

Electronic protection that prevents anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your computers.

Full Duplex

A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American organization was founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers and communications.

IETF

Internet Engineering Task Force. An organization responsible for providing engineering solutions for TCP/IP networks. In the network management area, this group is responsible for the development of the SNMP protocol.

IGMP

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an Internet protocol that provides a way for an Internet computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent routers. Multicasting allows one computer on the Internet to send content to multiple other computers that have identified themselves as interested in receiving the originating computer's content. Multicasting can be used for such applications as updating the address books of mobile computer users in the field, sending out company newsletters to a distribution list, and

"broadcasting" high-bandwidth programs of streaming media to an audience that has "tuned in" by setting up a multicast group membership.

Infrastructure mode

Infrastructure mode is the wireless configuration supported by the Router. You will need to ensure all of your clients are set up to use infrastructure mode in order for them to communicate with the Access Point built into your Router. (see also Ad Hoc mode)

IP

Internet Protocol. IP is a layer 3 network protocol that is the standard for sending data through a network. IP is part of the TCP/IP set of protocols that describe the routing of packets to addressed devices. An IP address consists of 32 bits divided into two or three fields: a network number and a host number or a network number, a subnet number, and a host number.

IP Address

Internet Protocol Address. A unique identifier for a device attached to a network using TCP/IP. The address is written as four octets separated with periods (full-stops), and is made up of a network section, an optional subnet section and a host section.

ISP

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

LAN

Local Area Network. A network of end stations (such as PCs, printers, servers) and network devices (hubs and switches) that cover a relatively small geographic area (usually not larger than a floor or building). LANs are characterized by high transmission speeds over short distances (up to 1000 metres).

MAC

Media Access Control. A protocol specified by the IEEE for determining which devices have access to a network at any one time.

MAC Address

Media Access Control Address. Also called the hardware or physical address. A layer 2 address associated with a particular network device. Most devices that connect to a LAN have a MAC address assigned to them as they are used to identify other devices in a network. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.

Mbps

In cable wiring, the concept of transmit and receive are from the perspective of the PC, which is wired as a Media Dependant Interface (MDI). In MDI wiring, a PC transmits on pins 1 and 2. At the hub, switch, router, or access point, the perspective is reversed, and the hub receives on pins 1 and 2. This wiring is referred to as Media Dependant Interface - Crossover (MDI-X).

NAT

Network Address Translation. NAT enables all the computers on your network to share one IP address. The NAT capability of the Router allows you to access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

SSID

Service Set Identifier. Some vendors of wireless products use SSID interchangeably with ESSID.

Subnet Address

An extension of the IP addressing scheme that allows a site to use a single IP network address for multiple physical networks.

Subnet mask

A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers 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 assigned by InterNIC).

Subnets

A network that is a component of a larger network.

Switch

A device that interconnects several LANs to form a single logical LAN that comprises of several LAN segments. Switches are similar to bridges, in that they connect LANs of a different type; however they connect more LANs than a bridge and are generally more sophisticated.

TCP/IP
