Your router can also act as a DHCP client to collect network-addressing information from a DHCP server at another site for your LAN. DMT - DMT is the line modulation coding technique for your ADSL connection. DNS - A Domain Name Server looks up text-based Internet address in its huge database of registered domain names, then converts it into the numeric IP address that allows you to connect to another Internet site. DSLAM - Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer is a network device, usually at a telephone company CO that receives signals from multiple customer DSL connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line. A DSLAM enables a NSP to offer business or home users the fastest telephone line technology (DSL) with the fastest backbone network technology (ATM). downstream - Refers to traffic sent from the CO to a DSL subscriber site. encapsulation - This refers to adding one or more layer protocol headers to a data packet. encryption - For security purposes, a specific algorithm may be used to alter the appearance of data, making it incomprehensible to those who are not authorized to see the information. Ethernet - Ethernet refers to a physical link and data link protocol that joins devices on a LAN. 27 filter - Generally this is a process or device that screens network traffic for characteristics such as source address, destination address, or protocol, and determines whether to forward or block traffic based on the criteria that you have programmed. firewall - This IP filtering security software can render parts of the LAN inaccessible and invisible to the public. It prevents unauthorized and/or unrecognized access. frame - This usually refers to headers and trailers used for synchronization and error control. The terms cell, datagram, message, packet, and segment are also used to describe logical information groupings at various layers of the OSI reference model. GUI - Graphical User Interface refers to a user-friendly screen where icons, menus, and simple language are used to operate a computer. It does not require the user to be familiar with DOS or UNIX commands. hub - A hub is hardware that contains independent, but connected network devices. Hubs can repeat signals or merely split signals sent through them. IP - Internet Protocol, a network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack that provides features for addressing, type-of-service specification, fragmentation and reassembly, and security. IP address - Any computing device that uses the Internet must be assigned an Internet or IP address. This 32-bit number is written in 4 decimal fields or "octets" separated by periods, e. g. , 192. 9. 200. 1. IPSec - IP Security is a Layer 3 protocol that supports the creation of a VPN over the Internet. [. . . ] In the Phone Number window, under Connect using, select Choose Direct to Com 1 (or 2) in the properties page. In the Com 1 (or 2) Properties page, enter the following port settings: 9600, 8, none, 1, hardware. Non-Windows platforms: To open a terminal window emulation in a Macintosh or UNIX environment, you will need a VT100 terminal emulation program. Refer to your system documentation to determine which communications programs can be used to communicate with the router's console interface. Start your VT100 terminal emulator and configure it with the following port settings: 9600, 8, no, 1, hardware. [. . . ]
