DynDNS

Dynamic DNS
The assignment of 

Domain names

 and 

IP addresses

 is handled by the Domain Name 

Service (

DNS

). This service is now enhanced with so-called Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) for 

Dynamic IP addresses

. This enables the use of a network component with a dynamic IP 

address as a 

Server

 on the Internet. DynDNS ensures that a service can always be 

addressed on the 

Internet

 under the same domain name regardless of the current IP 

address.

Encryption

Encryption protects confidential information against unauthorised access. With an 
encryption system, data packets can be sent securely over a network. The Gigaset 
SE587 WLAN dsl offers 

WEP

 encryption and 

WPA

 for secure data transfer over wireless 

networks.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a network technology for local networks (

LANs

) defined by the 

IEEE

 as stand-

ard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet uses a base-band cable with a transfer rate of 10 or 100 

Mbps

 

or 1 Gbps.

Firewall

Firewalls are used by network operators as protection against unauthorised external 
access. This involves a whole bundle of hardware and software actions and technolo-
gies that monitor and control the data flow between the private network to be pro-
tected and an unprotected network such as the 

Internet

. 

See also: 

NAT

 

Flat rate

Flat rate is a particular billing system for 

Internet

 connections. The 

Internet service pro-

vider

 charges a monthly fee regardless of the duration and number of logins.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) 

FTP is a protocol for exchanging files on the Internet. You can use it, for example, to 
offer files for downloading or to receive files from other users.

Full duplex

Data transfer mode in which data can be sent and received at the same time. 
See also: 

Half duplex

 

Gateway

A gateway is a device for connecting networks with completely different architectures 
(addressing, protocols, application interfaces etc.). Although it is not totally correct, the 
term is also used as a synonym for 

Router

.
