Glossary Client A computer connected to a LAN (Local Area Network). Also called a client computer. ISDN ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a set of standards for digital transmission over ordinary telephone copper wire and other media. Home and business users who install ISDN routers can access graphic-intense Web pages with greatly increased speed over that of modem users. ISDN requires routers at both ends. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) also needs an ISDN router. LAN Unlike the internet, which is a network that is used by unlimited number of people, LAN (Local Area Network) is a network that is used by limited number of people. For example, there is LAN used only by those belonging to the company or the division, and there is LAN constructed in home by interconnecting computers. 27
