MAC Media Access Control is the lower of the two sub-layers of the data link layer defined by
the IEEE. The MAC sub-layer handles access to shared media, such as whether token
passing or contention will be used.
MIB Management Information Base.
OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing techniques which allows multiple users to
transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth
carriers.
PoE Power over Ethernet is a specification for providing both power and data to low-power
network devices using a single Category 5 Ethernet cable. PoE provides greater flexibility
in locating network devices, and significantly decreased installation costs.
NAT Network Address Translation is a process that allows all of the computers on the home
network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Home-Connect home
network gateway, access is available to the Internet from any computer on the home
network without having to purchase more IP addresses from the ISP.
Port A logical channel that is identified by its unique port number. Applications listen on
specific ports for information that may be related to it.
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet is a method of secure data transmission originally
created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections.
PPTP Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a version of PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) that has
the ability to encapsulate packets of data formatted for one network protocol in packets
used by another protocol. This tunneling technique allows TCP/IP data to be transmitted
over a non-TCP/IP network. PPTP can be used to join different physical networks using
the Internet as an intermediary.
Static IP An IP address that is manually configured and never changes.
