IP (Internet Protocol)

The TCP/IP standard protocol that denes the IP datagram as the unit of

information passed across an Internet and provides the basis for connectionless

packet delivery service. IP includes the ICMP control and error message protocol

as an integral part. It provides the functional equivalent of ISO OSI Network

Services.

IP Address

An IP address is a 32-bit number that identies each sender or receiver of

information that is sent across the Internet. An IP address has two parts: the

identier of a particular network on the Internet and an identier of the particular

device (which can be a server or a workstation) within that network.

ISM Bands (Industrial, Scientic, and Medicine Bands)

Radio frequency bands that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

authorized for wireless LANs. The ISM bands are located at 902MHz, 2.400GHz,

and 5.7GHz.

ISP (Internet Service Provider)

An organization that provides access to the Internet. Small ISPs provide service

via modem and ISDN while the larger ones also offer private line hookups (T1,

fractional T1, etc.).

LAN (Local Area Network)

A communications network that serves users within a dened geographical area.

The benets include the sharing of Internet access, les and equipment like

printers and storage devices. Special network cabling (10 Base-T) is often used to

connect the PCs together.

MAC Address (Media Access Control)

A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT masks a local network’s group of IP addresses from the external network,

allowing a local network of computers to share a single ISP account. This process

allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. This will

enable access to the Internet from any computer on your home network without

having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
