UPnP

Universal Plug and Play

UPnP technology is used for the spontaneous linking of home or small office networks.

Devices that support UPnP carry out their network configuration automatically once

they are connected to a network. They also provide their own services or use services of

other devices in the network automatically.

URL

Universal Resource Locator

Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet.

VCI

Virtual Channel Identifier

Part of an address in an ATM network.

Virtual server

A virtual Server provides a service on the Internet that does not run on itself, but on

another network component. The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can be configured as a vir-

tual server. It will then direct incoming calls for a service via Port forwarding directly to

the appropriate Port of the network component in question.

VLAN

Virtual Local Area Network

A VLAN is a virtual local network within a physical network. A widely disseminated tech-

nical implementation of VLANs is defined partially in the Standard IEEE 802.1Q. VLAN

allows preferred forwarding of voice data, for example. This functionality is important

for VoIP (IP telephony). This also means that phone calls can be made without interrup-

tion within a restricted bandwidth.

VPI

Virtual Path Identifier

Part of an address in an ATM network.

WAN

Wide Area Network

A WAN is a wide area network that is not restricted physically to a particular area, for

example the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private

access. You access the Internet via an Internet service provider.
