Router
A router directs data packets from one local area network (
) to another via the fast-
est route. A router makes it possible to connect networks that have different network
technologies. For example, it can link a local network with
or
technol-
ogy to the
.
Server
A Server makes a service available to other network components (
). The term
"server" is often used to refer to a computer or PC. However it can also mean an appli-
cation that provides a particular service such as
or a Web service.
SSID
Service Set Identifier
The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (
). All wireless net-
work components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be
assigned by the network operator.
is assigned to a network component manually during network con-
figuration. Unlike a
, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.
Subnet
A subnet divides a network into smaller units.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask determines how parts of the
of a network represent the
network number and how many the computer number.
The subnet mask administered by the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 is always
255.255.255.0. That means the first three parts of the IP address form the network
number and the final part is used for assigning computer numbers. The first three parts
of the IP address of all network components are in this case always the same.
Super G
Super G is an extension of
g. Channel bundling doubles the maximum trans-
mission rate to 108 Mbps. Unlike other technologies (e.g. 125 Mbps technology), which
work by compressing data, here the transmission rate is actually doubled. With data that
is already compressed (ZIP, RAR, MP3, MPEG etc.), data compression will not make any
substantial improvements.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol
The TCP
is part of the
protocol family. TCP handles data transport
between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based transmission
protocol, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transporting data.
