ADC MM702G Manuel D’Utilisation

Media Access Control is a physical address associated with a device such as a NIC. 
For modem configuration, the MAC is used to map inbound traffic (from a remote IP 
address) to an internal (LAN) IP address. Used with 1483 Bridging/Routing Mode.

The noise margin in decibels that the modem must achieve with a BER of 10 

-7 

or 

better to successfully complete initialization.

Management Information Base is a set of variables that define the configuration and 
status parameters for network management. Network management stations can 
retrieve information from and write information to an MIB. The Internet Engineering 
Task Force (IETF) specifies standard MIBS for certain types of devices, ensuring any 
NMS can manage the devices. Vendors can specify proprietary MIBs for their devices 
to fit specific needs.

Network Address Translation provides the means to map private IP addresses (LAN 
IP addresses) to public IP addresses (WAN session IP addresses). 

Non-Volatile Random Access Memory is a medium for storing system configuration 
information, so the information is not lost when the system is reset.

A TCP/IP term indicating eight bits.

Password Authentication Protocol and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol 
are two ways to authenticate PPP sessions. With PAP, the modem sends 
authentication requests to the service provider and authentication occurs only once 
during the life of the link. 

In CHAP, the service provider returns an authentication challenge to the modem 
during authentication. CHAP can be renegotiated during the life of the link. Also, both 
the modem and the service provider must support clear text versions of the 
password. The CHAP host field must be the same on both ends of the session.

Protocol Data Unit is data as it appears at the interface between a particular sublayer 
and the sublayer immediately below.

Plain Old Telephone Service.

Point-to-Point Protocol exists between the hardware layer and the network-layer 
interface protocols. It is a widely used protocol for establishing connections on the 
Internet. PPP provides the set up and release of connections for each session. 
PAP/CHAP provide the authentication for the PPP sessions.

The proxy IP address is the WAN IP address for one of the 32 sessions. The proxy 
IP address is used to enter static NAT entries. See IP address. 

Permanent Virtual Circuit is a logical connection comprised of a predefined static 
route across a packet-switched network that is always in place and always available.
