ADSL
Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper 
telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and 
from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). 
ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world 
gain access. 
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol, a TCP/IP protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address (called 
a DLC address), such as an Ethernet address. 
A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host 
on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address. There is 
also Reverse ARP (RARP) which can be used by a host to discover its IP address. In this case, the host 
broadcasts its physical address and a RARP server replies with the host's IP address.
Auto Uplink
Auto Uplink
TM
 technology (also called MDI/MDIX) eliminates the need to worry about crossover vs. 
straight-through Ethernet cables. Auto Uplink
TM
 will accommodate either type of cable to make the right 
connection.
Bandwidth 
The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel could transmit. Bandwidth examples 
include 10 Mbps for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet, and 1000 Mbps (I Gbps) for Gigabit Ethernet.
Baud 
The signaling rate of a line, that is, the number of transitions (voltage or frequency changes) made per 
second.  Also known as line speed.
Broadcast 
A packet sent to all devices on a network.
CA
A Certificate Authority is a trusted third-party organization or company that issues digital certificates used 
to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs. 
Cat 5
Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. An Ethernet network operating at 10 Mbits/second 
(10BASE-T) will often tolerate low quality cables, but at 100 Mbits/second (10BASE-Tx) the cable must be 
rated as Category 5, or Cat 5 or Cat V, by the Electronic Industry Association (EIA). 
This rating will be printed on the cable jacket. Cat 5 cable contains eight conductors, arranged in four 
twisted pairs, and terminated with an RJ45 type connector. In addition, there are restrictions on maximum 
cable length for both 10 and 100 Mbits/second networks.
