network in wireless or wired mode. Wireless SIP phones (WLAN handsets) can likewise

be used via the local network for Internet telephony.

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

The SMTP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It governs the exchange of elec-

tronic mail on the Internet. Your Internet service provider provides you with access to an

SMTP server.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol

The SNMP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It provides a simple procedure

for administering the network based on a system of shared information for manage-

ment data and network management messages (known as traps) and reports the occur-

rence of events within the monitored network (e.g. an alarm message or notification of

configuration changes).

SSID

Service Set Identifier

The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless net-

work components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be

assigned by the network operator.

Static IP address

A static IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network con-

figuration. Unlike the Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.

Subnet

A subnet divides a network into smaller units.

Subnet mask

The subnet mask determines how parts of IP addresses of a network represent the net-

work number and how many the computer number.

If the subnet mask is in a network that is administered by the Giga762SX WLAN dsl, for

example 255.255.255.0, that means the first three parts of the IP address form the net-

work number and only the final part can be used for assigning host numbers. The first

three parts of the IP address of all network components are therefore always the same

in this case.

Super G

Super G is an extension of the IEEE 802.11g mode. Channel bundling can be used to

double the maximum transfer rate to 108 Mbps.
