HEX 

Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number 
system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the 
numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the 
decimal number 15 is represented as F in the 
hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal 
system is useful because it can represent every byte (8 
bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier 
for humans to read hexadecimal numbers than binary 
numbers. 
 

 

Intranet 

This is a private network, inside an organization or 
company that uses the same software you will find on 
the public Internet. The only difference is that an 
Intranet is used for internal usage only.  

Internet 

The Internet is a globally linked system of computers 
that are logically connected based on the Internet 
Protocol (IP). The Internet provides different ways to 
access private and public information worldwide. 

Internet address 

To participate in Internet communications and on 
Internet Protocol-based networks, a node must have an 
Internet address that identifies it to the other nodes. All 
Internet addresses are IP addresses 

IP 

Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the 
layout of the basic unit of information on the Internet 
(the 

packet

) and also details the numerical addressing 

format used to route the information. Your Internet 
service provider controls the IP address of any device it 
connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your 
network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller 
LANs, most people will allow the DHCP function of a 
router or gateway to assign the IP addresses on 
internal networks. 

IP address 

IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies 
each sender or receiver of information that is sent in 
packets across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is 
an IP address. When you “call” that number, using any
