DNS
Domain Name System
DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computers or Domain name
that are
easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for each
with
an
connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is called up, the browser
obtains the corresponding IP address from the DNS Server so that it can establish the
connection.
On the Internet, the assignment of domain names to IP addresses follows a hierarchical
system. A local PC only knows the address of the local Name Server. This in turn knows
all the addresses of the computers in the local network and the next higher Name
Server, which again knows addresses in its network and that of the next Name Server.

Encryption
Encryption protects confidential information against unauthorised access. With an
encryption system, data packets can be sent securely over a network. The Gigaset WLAN
Repeater 108 uses
encryption for secure data transmission over wireless networks.

Ethernet is a network technology for local networks (
) and has been defined by the
as Standard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet uses a base band cable with a transmission rate
of 10 or 100
