Description |
|
LAN (Local Area Network) |
The local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected in the same physical location, such as a building, office, or home. |
|
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) |
The protocol is for assigning IP addresses to devices automatically. |
|
DNS (Domain Name System) |
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the Internet's system for mapping alphabetic names to numeric Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. |
|
WAN (Wide Area Network)
|
A wide area network (WAN) is a collection of local area networks (LANs) or other networks that communicate with each another. |
|
NAT (Network Address Translation) |
Network Address Translation (NAT)is a process in which one or more local IP address is translated into one or more global IP address and vice versa in order to provide Internet access to the local hosts. |
|
Wi-Fi |
Wi-Fi is a wireless network protocol, based on IEEE 802.11 of standards, which are used for local area network of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby devices to exchange data by radio waves. |
|
SSID (Service Set Identifier) |
The wireless network name broadcasts from Wi-Fi service. |
|
5G NSA (5G Non-Standalone) |
5G NSA refers to the combined network of 5G and 4G LTE, which means 5G network is deployed on the basis of existing 4G equipment. |
|
5G SA (5G Standalone) |
5G SA is the final form of 5G. Infrastructure such as base stations, backhaul links, and core networks are all dedicated to 5G, which can maximize the potential of 5G networks. |
|
ISP (Internet Service Provider) |
ISP is a company that provides individuals and organizations access to the Internet and other related services. |
|
IP (Internet Protocol) |
An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the Internet or a local network. |
|
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) |
IMEI is a numeric identifier, usually unique, for 3GPP and mobile phones, as well as some satellite phones. |
|
IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) |
IMSI is a unique number, usually fifteen digits, associated with Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network mobile phone users. The IMSI is a unique number identifying a GSM subscriber. |
|
RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) |
The average power received from a single reference signal, good RSRP above -80 and poor reading generally below -100. |
|
RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) |
Indicates quality of the received signal, and good RSRQ above -15 and poor reading generally below -20. |
|
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) |
RSSI is a measurement of cellular signal strength. Good RSRP above -65 and poor reading generally below -85. |
|
RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) |
RSCP term is used for 3G coverage |
|
SNR (Signal-to-noise ratio)
|
SNR is measure used in science and engineering that compares level of desired signal to level of background noise. Good SNR above 13 and poor reading generally below 0. |
|
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) |
VLAN is a network topology that divides a single physical network into multiple logical networks. VLANs allow you to segment a network into smaller, more efficient subnetworks, which can improve network performance and security. |
|
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) |
SMPT is a standard internet protocol used for sending and relaying email messages between email servers. |
|
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) |
SNMP provides a standardized framework for gathering information and performing management tasks on network. It is a widely used network management protocol that allows devices on a network to be monitored, managed, and controlled. |
|
CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) |
An authentication protocol used to secure communication between iSCSI initiators and targets by verifying identities. |
|
IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) |
A unique identifier used to name iSCSI devices on a network, ensuring they are distinguishable from each other. |
