Glossary
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for dynamically
assigning IP addresses from a pre-defined list to nodes on a
network. Using DHCP to manage IP addresses simplifies client
configuration and efficiently utilizes IP addresses.
DNS Domain Name System: The name resolution system that lets
users locate computers on the Internet (TCP/IP network) by
domain name. The DNS server maintains a database of domain
names (host names) and their corresponding IP addresses.
DRAP Dynamic Resource Allocation Protocol
IDU Indoor Unit
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE
(pronounced I-triple-E) is an organization composed of engineers,
scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for developing
standards for the computer and electronics industry. In
particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local-area networks are
widely followed.
IEEE 802.11b The standard applies to wireless LANs and provides data rate of
11 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
IEEE 802.11g The standard applies to wireless LANs and provides data rate of
54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
IP Internet Protocol. The standard that defines how data is
transmitted over the Internet. IP bundles data, including e-mail,
faxes, voice calls and messages, and other types, into "packets",
in order to transmit it over public and private networks.
LAN Local area Network. A computer network limited to a small
geographical area, such as a single building. The network
typically links PCs as well as shared resources such as printers.
MAC Media Access Control. The lower of the two sub-layers of the data
link layer defined by the IEEE. The MAC sub-layer handles
access to shared media, such as whether token passing or
contention will be used.
