6-3 Glossary
Default Gateway (Range extender): Every non-range extender IP
device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the
device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same
network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which
will then send it out towards the destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol
automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which
allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as
www.Broadbandrange extender.com) and one or more IP addresses (such
as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and
their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain
name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandrange extender.com" into your
Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS
server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the
location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem
uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are
connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to
10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).
Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to
the Internet for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will
automatically be disconnected.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol.
An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods,
that identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network.
Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address,
and the host identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four
cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each
