E
Earth Ground A proper earth ground is a conductive attachment point that presents very
low impedance, path to earth ground that has broadband characteristics.
The power utility ground does not necessarily constitute (although in
some cases it may) a proper earth ground for communication systems,
since it is only intended to be a safety return path for the 60 Hz
commercial AC power system.
Encryption Encryption is a means of coding data with a key before sending it across a
network. The same key must be used to decode the information at the
receiver. This way, it prevents unauthorized access to the data that is sent
across the network.
End Point A An End Point A is a node in a Point-to-Point link which controls the
channel and authenticates a single end node termed End Point B.
End Point B An End Point B is a node in a Point-to-Point link which can register
with the End Point A node only. Its behavior is controlled by the End
Point A to which it is authenticated.
Ethernet Ethernet is the most widely installed Local Area Network (LAN)
technology. The unit supports both 10 and 100 Mbps and half and full
duplex.
G
Gateway A gateway is network device that connects multiple (IP) networks to each
other. A gateway can perform protocol conversion.
Group A group is a logical collection of network parameters. For example, the
System Group is composed of several parameters and tables giving system
information of the unit. All items for a group are grouped under one tab
of the Web Interface and start with the same prefix for the command line
interface.
H
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to transport Web pages.
When you access the Internet with your browser, the HTTP protocol is
used for data transport (http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When you
access the unit using the Web Interface, HTTP is used to transport the
information.
