Base station - a device in a wireless network that
processes and routes data from computers,
modems (including satellite modems) and other
devices on the network.
Dotted decimal notation - An IP address
consists of 32 bits. Rather than working with 32
bits at a time, it is a common practice to segment
the 32 bits of an IP address into four 8-bit fields
called octets. Each octet is converted to a
decimal number (the Base 10 numbering
system) in the range 0-255 and separated by a
period (a dot).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) -
Allows automatic IP address assignment to
computers on a network. This simplifies
network configuration on your computers. Since
your DIRECWAY unit implements DHCP
Server functionality, you just need to configure
your computers to "Obtain IP Address
automatically" (which is the default setting).
The computers would get both IP Address and
DNS IP Address from your DIRECWAY unit.
Ethernet - the technology most commonly used
on wired and wireless networks.
Ethernet cable - the cable used in wired
networks using Ethernet technology. Category 5
Ethernet cable is recommended for the
DW6000.
Ethernet hub - a device in a wired network that
processes and routes data from computers,
modems (including satellite modems), and other
devices on the network.
