Glossary 

10BASE-T 

A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with a data rate of 10 

Mbps. Also known as Category 3 (CAT 3) wiring. See also data rate, Ethernet. 

100BASE-T 

A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with a data rate of 100 

Mbps. Also known as Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring. See also data rate, Ethernet. 

ADSL 

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 

The most commonly deployed "flavor" of DSL for home users. The term asymmetrical 
refers to its unequal data rates for downloading and uploading (the download rate is 
higher than the upload rate). The asymmetrical rates benefit home users because they 
typically download much more data from the Internet than they upload. 

authenticate 

To verify user’s identity, such as by prompting for a password. 

binary 

The "base two" system of numbers, that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent all 

numbers. In binary, the number 1 is written as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as 100, etc. 
Although expressed as decimal numbers for convenience, IP addresses in actual use 
are binary numbers; e.g., the IP address 209.191.4.240 is 
11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary. See also bit, IP address, network 
mask. 

bit 

Short for "binary digit," a bit is a number that can have two values, 0 or 1. See also 

binary. 

bps bits 

per 

second 

broadband 

A telecommunications technology that can send different types of data over the same 

medium. DSL is a broadband technology. 

broadcast 

To send data to all computers on a network. 

DHCP 

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol 

DHCP automates address assignment and management. When a computer connects 
to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a shared pool of IP addresses; after a 
specified time limit, DHCP returns the address to the pool. 

DHCP relay 

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay 

A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers that 
request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the 
RX3041H's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. See DHCP. 

DHCP server 

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server 

A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible for assigning IP addresses to the 
computers on a LAN. See DHCP. 

DNS 

Domain Name System  

The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses. DNS information is distributed 
hierarchically throughout the Internet among computers called DNS servers. When 
you start to access a web site, a DNS server looks up the requested domain name to 
find its corresponding IP address. If the DNS server cannot find the IP address, it 
communicates with higher-level DNS servers to determine the IP address. See also 
domain name. 

domain name 

A domain name is a user-friendly name used in place of its associated IP address. For 

example, 

 is the domain name associated with IP address 168.95.1.88. 

Domain names must be unique; their assignment is controlled by the Internet 
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Domain names are a key
