PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
PPPoE is a Protocol that connects network components in a local Ethernet network to
the Internet via a modem.
Private IP address
The private IP address (also known as the local IP address) is a network component's
address within the local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address
he or she wants. Devices that act as a link from a local network, such as the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN, have a private and a Public IP address.
Protocol
A protocol describes the agreements for communicating in a network. It contains rules
for opening, managing and closing a connection, as well as about data formats, time
frames and how to handle potential errors. Communication between two applications
requires different protocols at different levels, e.g. the TCP/IP protocols on the Internet.
Public IP address
The public IP address (also known as global IP address) is a network component's
address on the Internet. It is assigned by the Internet Provider. Devices that create a link
from a LAN to the Internet, such as the Gigaset SE361 WLAN, have a public and a Private
IP address.
Radio network
See WLAN
Rekey interval
The rekey interval is the period after which new keys are automatically generated for
data encryption with WPA-PSK.
Remote management
Remote management refers to the ability to manage a network from a network compo-
nent that is actually outside the local area network (LAN).
Repeater
A repeater extends the range of a wireless local area network by relaying data from the
Access point to additional PCs or Network adapter.
Roaming
Roaming extends the range of a wireless LAN by using several Access points with the
same SSID and the same radio channel and linked via Ethernet. The PCs in the network
can switch dynamically between several access points without losing the existing net-
work connection.
