DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DNS (Domain Name System) An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses. Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines. ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted. NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card.
