4-3 Glossary

Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to

configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends

out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the

device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then

send it out toward the destination.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol

automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP

address.

DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System,

which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as

www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such

as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet

servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so

that when a domain name is requested (as in typing

"Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent

to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the

computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server

your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL

modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high

speeds.

Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks

are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around

at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no

traffic to the Internet for a pre-configured amount of time, the

connection will automatically be disconnected.

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet

Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers

separated by periods, which identifies a single, unique Internet
