AAL ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and reassembly of data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic classes. ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as its name showing, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic rate upstream.
CPE Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem. Default Gateway (Router) Every non-router 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.
FTP File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts. Idle Timeout Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a preconfigured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected. ISP Internet Service Provider is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
provide a sort of firewall and allow for a wider address range to be used internally without danger of conflict. Using the router‟s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. Port Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over another.
PPPoE (RFC 2516) This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator.
Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC). TCP/IP, UDP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP).
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI) Many devices support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device being managed.
