Hub ICMP IEEE Internet intranet IP IP address ISP LAN LED MAC address mask Mbps NAT sites so that it can be displayed by web browsers. See web browser, web site. A hub is a place of convergence where data arrives from one or more directions and is forwarded out in one or more directions. It connects an Ethernet bridge to a group of PCs on a LAN and allows communication to pass between the networked devices. Internet Control Message Protocol An Internet protocol used to report errors and other networkrelated information. The ping command makes use of ICMP. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a technical professional society that fosters the development of standards that often become national and international standards. The global collection of interconnected networks used for both private and business communications. A private, company-internal network that looks like part of the Internet (users access information using web browsers), but is accessible only by employees. See TCP/IP. Internet Protocol address The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240. An IP address consists of a network ID that identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and a host ID uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A network mask is used to define the network ID and the host ID. Because IP addresses are difficult to remember, they usually have an associated domain name that can be specified instead. See domain name, network mask. Internet Service Provider A company that provides Internet access to its customers, usually for a fee. Local Area Network A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a home or small office. Light Emitting Diode An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights on the front of the Wireless Gateway are LEDs. Media Access Control address The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as six pairs of hex characters, with each pair separated by colons. For example; NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN. See network mask. Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits per second. Network data rates are often expressed in Mbps. Network Address Translation A service performed by many Wireless APs that translates your network's publicly known IP address into a private IP address for each computer on your LAN. Only your Wireless AP and your LAN know these addresses; the outside world 146
