Term Definition
tcpdump A program that prints out the headers of packets on a network interface that
match a specified filtering criteria. The syntax used by tcpdump is used 700wl
Series system for specifying packet filters.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol - A lightweight version of FTP
Time Window A time windows is defined in the 700wl Series system Rights Manager as a
range of hours, dates, or days of the week. These may be used when defining
Connection Profiles to limit the connection profile to a specified time period.
trusted device A device that has been authenticated.
UDP User Datagram Protocol - UDP is a lightweight transport built on top of IP. UDP
squeezes extra performance from IP by not implementing some of the features
a more heavyweight protocol like TCP offers. Specifically, UDP allows individual
packets to be dropped (with no retries) and UDP packets to be received in a
different order than they were sent.
UDP is often used in videoconferencing applications or games where optimal
performance is preferred over guaranteed message delivery. UDP is one of the
oldest network protocols, introduced in 1980 in RFC document 768.
Uplink port The Ethernet port used to connect the 700wl Series system to the network. By
default this is the built-in 10/100 or 10/100/100 port, but it can be reconfigured
to be a different port.
URI A Uniform Resource Identifier is a formatted string that serves as an identifier
for a resource, typically on the Internet. URIs are used in HTML to identify the
anchors of hyperlinks. URIs in common practice include Uniform Resource
Locators (URLs) and Relative URLs
URL Uniform resource locator; the address that defines the route to a file on the Web
or any other Internet facility. URLs are typed into the browser to access Web
pages, and URLs are embedded within the pages themselves to provide the
hypertext links to other pages.
VLAN Virtual Local Area Network - A logical grouping of two or more computers, which
are not necessarily on the same physical network segment, given priority
access privileges across the LAN backbone in order to provide the same
network behavior they would receive if they were connected to the same
physical segment.
Wireless Data Privacy The ability to encrypt all client traffic using standard encryption technology such
as PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.
VPN Virtual Private Network - A VPN is one or more WAN links over a shared public
network, typically over the Internet or an IP backbone from a Network Service
Provider (NSP), that simulates the behavior of dedicated WAN links over leased
lines.
Virtual Private Network. A network which uses the public network to transfer
information using secure methods. For example, you could set up a VPN
between your home office and your business office using security and
encryption and the Internet as your transfer pipe.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a private data network that makes use of the
public telecommunications infrastructure, maintaining privacy through the use of
a tunneling protocol and security procedures.
WAP Wireless Application Protocol; determines how wireless devices utilize internet
content and other services.
