Glossary of Wired Networking Terms NAT - Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. PPPoE - Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of secure data transmission originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. SPI - Stateful Packet Inspection. SPI is the type of corporate-grade Internet security provided by your Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router. Using SPI, the gateway acts as a "firewall," protecting your network from computer hackers. 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 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 - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. WAN - Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas, (i.e., different). 63

security provided by your Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router. Using
SPI, the gateway acts as a "firewall," protecting your network from

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 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 -
