The values assigned to the first few bits in an IP network address determine which class designation the network has. In

decimal notation, Class A network addresses range from 1.X.X.X to 126.X.X.X, Class B network addresses range from

128.1.X.X to 191.254.X.X, and Class C addresses range from 192.0.1.X to 223.255.254.X.

Client

An intelligent workstation that makes requests to other computers known as servers. PC computers on a LAN can be

clients.

Community strings

Sequences of characters that serve much like passwords for devices using SNMP. Different community strings may be

used to allow an SNMP user to gather device information or change device configurations.

Console port

Device used by the network administrator to configure and monitor the Modem. The console port employs an RS232

interface. Command Line Interface are used on the console port.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Service that provides network information (such as IP addresses, masks, domain

names) to PCs and other clients automatically.

DNS

Domain Name Service - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service which translates a name that a

person can remember into an IP address that a computer can use.

DTE

Data Terminal Equipment - Term defined by standards committees, that applies to communications equipment, typically

personal computers or data terminals, as distinct from other devices that attach to the network, typically modems.

Ethernet address

Sometimes referred to as a hardware address. A 48-bits long number assigned to every Ethernet hardware device.

Ethernet addresses are usually expressed as 12-character hexadecimal numbers, where each hexadecimal character (0

through F) represents four binary bits. Do not confuse the Ethernet address of a device with its network address.

Firmware

System software stored in a device’s memory that controls the device.

HDLC

High-Level Data Link Control - A generic link-level communications protocol developed by the International

Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). HDLC manages synchronous, code-transparent, serial information transfer over

a link connection.

Internet

A set of networks connected together by routers. This is a general term, not to be confused with the large, multi-

organisational collection of IP networks known as the Internet. An internet is sometimes also known as an internetwork.

Internet address, IP address

Any computing device that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) must be assigned an internet or IP address. This is a 32-bit

number assigned by the system administrator, usually written in the form of 4 decimal fields separated by periods, e.g.,

192.9.200.1. Part of the internet address is the IP network number (IP network address), and part is the host address (IP

host address). All machines on a given IP network use the same IP network number, and each machine has a unique IP

host address. The system administrator sets the subnet mask to specify how much of the address is network number and

how much is host address.

Internet Protocol - A networking protocol developed for use on computer systems that use the UNIX operating system.

Often used with Ethernet cabling systems. In this manual, IP is used as an umbrella term to cover all packets and

networking operations that include the use of the Internet Protocol. See also TCP/IP.

ISP

Internet service provider - A company that provides Internet-related services. Most importantly, an ISP provides Internet

access services and products to other companies and consumers.
