Glossary 5
network log:
A record of the names of devices, location of wire pairs, wall-jack numbers, and other information
about the network.
network number:
A unique number for each network in an internet. AppleTalk network numbers are assigned
by seed routers, to which the network is directly connected. An isolated AppleTalk network does not need a
network number.
network number remapping:
Resolves network number conflicts when two or more AppleTalk networks that
may have duplicate network numbers are connected together. The Netopia ISDN Router lets you set up a range
of network numbers into which remote AppleTalk network numbers are remapped.
network range:
A unique set of contiguous numbers associated with an extended network; each number in a
network range can be associated with up to 253 node addresses.
node:
See
host
.
non-seeding:
A router setting that causes it to request network number and zone information from any other
routers on the network connected to the non-seeding por t. If it receives this information, it begins to route
packets through that por t. See

.
packet:
A group of fixed-length binar y digits, including the data and call control signals, that are transmitted
through an X.25 packet-switching network as a composite whole. The data, call control signals, and possible
error control information are arranged in a predetermined format. Packets do not always travel the same
pathway but are arranged in proper sequence at the destination side before for warding the complete message
to an addressee.
packet-switching network:
A telecommunications network based on packet-switching technology, wherein a
transmission channel is occupied only for the duration of the transmission of the packet.
PAP (PPP authentication protocol):
A method for ensuring secure network access.
parameter:
A numerical code that controls an aspect of terminal and/or network operation. Parameters
control such aspects as page size, data transmission speed, and timing options.
port:
A location for passing data in and out of a device, and, in some cases, for attaching other devices or
cables.
port number:
A number that identifies a TCP/IP-based ser vice. Telnet, for example, is identified with TCP por t
23.
POTS (plain old telephone service)
: Ordinar y analog telephone ser vice such as that used for voice
transmission, as distinct from digital ser vice.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol):
A protocol for framing IP packets and transmitting them over a serial line.
protocol:
A set of rules for communication, sometimes made up of several smaller sets of rules also called
protocols. AppleTalk is a protocol that includes the LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and TokenTalk protocols.
remapping:
See
network number remapping
.
RFC (Request for Comment):
A series of documents used to exchange information and standards about the
Internet.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol):
A protocol used for the transmission of IP routing information.
RJ-11:
A telephone-industr y standard connector type, usually containing four pins.
RJ-45:
A telephone-industr y standard connector type usually containing eight pins.
