IP Quality of
Service
These functions give precedence to enterprise-critical applications, particular services, or
user groups
ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network -- fast connection; two independent channels; higher
transmission rates than analog (up to 128 Kbit/s); uses the old analog lines; comfort fea-
tures (call forwarding, callback on busy, etc.); supports both analog and digital services
ISM frequency
band
Industrial-Scientific-Medical, license-free frequency bands which can be used for indus-
trial, scientific, and medical purposes.
ISP Internet Service Provider -- service provider with a connection to the Internet (backbone)
who provides connection points for end customers
LCOS LANCOM Operating System - uniform operating system for BAT products
LAN Local Area Network - local network limited to one site
LANcapi Virtual CAPI which is provided over the network; with LANcapi, which is implemented in
all BAT routers with ISDN interfaces, a PC connected to the LAN can use ISDN telematic
services
LANconfig Software for configuration of BAT devices under Windows
LANtools Diverse, user-friendly set of tools for the management and monitoring of BAT products
and systems
MAC Media Access Control; radio access protocol on ISO Layer 2 data link; it defines packet
format, packet addressing, and error detection
MAC address Serial number of a network component which is assigned by the manufacturer
Mbit Megabit: standard unit for the specification of data quantities in the context of bandwidths
MIC Message Integrity Check, cryptographic integrity protection mechanism
NetBIOS Network Basic Input/Output System. Non-routable network protocol for local networks
developed by IBM and later taken over by Microsoft.
NTBA Network Termination Basic Adaptor . The NTBA (network termination adapter) is respon-
sible in an ISDN base connection for the translation of the connection created by the tele-
phone company to the S0 bus.
OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Divison Multiplex
PEAP Protected EAP, EAP variant for mutual authentication
PKI Public Key Infrastructure
PPP Point to Point Protocol: network protocol for connections between two computers. PPP is
based on TCP/IP.
PPTP Point to Point Tunneling Protocol: Network protocol for the construction of virtual private
networks over the Internet.
Point-to-Multi-
point (WLAN)
Multiple WLAN stations log into a base station and constitute a common network with the
wired stations
Point-to-Point
(WLAN)
Two base stations connect two wired networks over WLAN; point-to-point operation
enables coupling of networks even across streets without cables
QoS Quality of Service (see also IP Quality of Service)
RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service; authentication and monitoring protocol on
the application level for authentication, integrity protection, and accounting for network
access
RC4 Streaming cipher process by Ron Rivest, "Ron's Code"
RFC Request for Comments
Router Intelligent network components; comparable with a post office, which can determine from
the logical destination address of a packet which next network component should trans-
mit the packet; knows the overall topology of the network
