IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
(
) is an organization that produces standards,
technical papers, and symposiums for the electrical and
electronic industries and is accredited by ANSI. 802.11b and
802.11g are examples of standards they have produced.
Internet
A worldwide collection of interconnected networks using TCP/IP.
IP
Internet Protocol is a set of standards that enable different types
of computers to communicate with one another and exchange
data through the Internet. IP provides the appearance of a single,
seamless communication system and makes the Internet a virtual
network.
IP Address
A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP
network. TCP/IP networks route messages based on the
destination IP address.
For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address
and the final 8 bits are the host address; in dotted-decimal format
it appears “network.network.network.host.”
ISDN

ISP
Internet Service Provider
L
LAN
Local Area Network. A local area network provides a full-time,
high-bandwidth connection over a limited area such as a home,
building, or campus. Ethernet is the most widely used LAN
standard.

MAC Address
The Media Access Control address is a unique, 48-bit value
permanently saved in the ROM at the factory to identify each
Ethernet network device. It is expressed as a sequence of 12
hexadecimal digits printed on the unit’s label. You need to
provide the MAC Address to the cable service provider. Also
