CPE Customer Premises Equipment refers to telephones, modems (DSL and Cable), PCs and other equipment located at the customer's physical location (e.g. your home or office). DDNS Dynamic Domain Name Service. DDNS allows users to address any web site or FTP server by a public name (i.e. www.vonage.com) and avoid the need to use the IP address. It maps Internet domain names to dynamic IP addresses. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol that lets one device, known as the DHCP server, on a network dynamically assign temporary IP addresses to the other devices on the network. These other devices are typically computers. This eliminates the need to manually assign Static or permanent IP addresses. DMZ Demilitarized Zone. DMZ is a computer that is located between a trusted internal network such as a secure LAN and an untrusted external network, such as the public Internet. Typically, the DMZ removes the firewall protection and allows the computer to have unrestricted access to the Internet. Removing the firewall protection also allows the computer to be visible to and accessed by other devices on the Internet.
