Network
A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, files, and messages
can be transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area
networks.
Network Password
A password set by the user that generates the NEK and defines the user’s logical
network.
RJ-45
A connector similar to a telephone connector that holds up to eight wires, used
for connecting Ethernet devices.
Router
Protocol-dependent device that connects subnet works together. Routers are
useful in breaking down a very large network into smaller sub networks; they
introduce longer delays and typically have much lower throughput rates than
bridges.
Powerline Networking
Data transmission over powerlines.
Password
Sequence of characters that serves as input to a key derivation function that
generates an Encryption Key (EK).
Protocol
A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to
take place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with
Static IP address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to
each computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same
IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is manually
changed.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advanced Research Projects
Agency (ARPA). It is widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its
superior design for WANs. TCP governs how packet is sequenced for
transmission the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often used generically to refer to
the entire suite of related protocols.
