312 Glossary of Terms
HPR
(Home Page Redirection) Nomadix Gateways enable solution providers to redirect subscribers to a “portal” home page
of their choice. This allows the solution provider to generate online advertising revenues and increase business
exposure. See also,
Home Page .
HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) The programming language used to create hypertext documents for use on the Internet.
See also,
HTTP
,
Hypertext
, and
Internet
.
HTTP
(HyperText Transfer Protocol) The standard method used for publishing hypertext documents in HTML format on the
Internet. See also,
HTML , Hypertext and Internet .
Hypertext
Electronic documents that are structured to enable readers to go directly to the source of the information they need by
following directional links (unlike books which are generally read sequentially). Help files and CD-ROM
encyclopedias are examples of hypertext documents.
ICMP
(Internet Control Message Protocol) A standard Internet protocol that delivers error and control messages from hosts to
message requestors. An ICMP echo test can determine whether a target destination is reachable. An ICMP echo test is
also called a ping. See also,
Ping
.
IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Founded in 1884, the IEEE is an organization composed of
engineers, scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and electronics
industry. In particular, the IEEE 802 standards for Local Area Networks are widely followed.
iNAT™
(Intelligent Network Address Translation) Nomadix’ iNAT™ feature creates an intelligent mapping of IP addresses
and their associated
VPN
tunnels allowing multiple tunnels to be established to the same
VPN
server—creating a
seamless connection for all the users at the Public-access location.
infrastructure mode
An
802.11x
networking framework in which devices communicate with each other by first going through an Access
Point ( AP ). In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a
wired network. When one
AP
is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations it is referred to as a Basic
Service Set (
BSS
). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more
BSS
s that form a single subnetwork. Most
corporate wireless LANs operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to use
services such as file servers or printers. See also,
ad-hoc mode
.
Internet
Originally developed by the U.S. Defense Department, the Internet is now a global collection of networks that transfer
information between each other using the Internet Protocol (IP). Additionally, the Internet carries the hypertext system
commonly known as the World Wide Web. See also,
Hypertext and Internet Protocol .
Internet Protocol
The global standard used to regulate data transmissions between computers and the Internet. Data is broken up into
packets which are then sent over the network. By using IP addressing, Internet Protocol ensures that the data reaches its
destination, even though different packets may pass through different networks to get to the same location. See also,
Internet and IP Address .
