● IP Type — The type of service provided over a network.

● IP address — Internet Protocol address. The address of a device attached to an IP network (TCP/IP

network).

● ISP — Internet Service Provider. Also referred to as the service carrier, an ISP provides Internet

connection service. (See Network Operator)

● Kbps — Kilobits per second. The rate of data ﬂow.

● LAN — Local Area Network. A type of network that lets a group of computers, all in close proximity

(such as inside an oﬃce building), communicate with one another. It does not use common carrier

circuits though it can have gateways or bridges to other public or private networks.

● MAC Address — Media Access Control. A number that uniquely identiﬁes each network hardware

device. MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal numbers. This is also known as the physical or

hardware address.

● Mbps — Megabits per second.

● MSID — Mobile Station IDentiﬁer. A number for a mobile phone that identiﬁes that phone to the

network. These numbers are carrier speciﬁc.

● Network Operator — The vendor who provides your wireless access. Known by diﬀerent names in

diﬀerent regions, some examples are: wireless provider, network provider, and service provider.

● Network Technology — The technology on which a particular network provider’s system is built; such

as CDMA or EVDO.

● Port — A virtual data connection used by programs to exchange data. It is the endpoint in a logical

connection. The port is speciﬁed by the port number.

● Port Forwarding — A process that allows remote devices to connect to a speciﬁc computer within a

private LAN.

● Port Number — A 16-bit number used by the TCP and UDP protocols to direct traﬃc on a TCP/IP

host. Certain port numbers are standard for common applications.

● PRL — Preferred Roaming List. A list that your wireless phone or device uses to determine which

networks to connect with when you are roaming. (Network operator speciﬁc).

● Protocol — A standard that enables connection, communication, and data transfer between

computing endpoints.

● Proxy — A ﬁrewall mechanism that replaces the IP address of a host on the internal (protected)

network with its own IP address for all traﬃc passing through it.

● Rev A — CDMA EV-DO Rev. A is a leading-edge wireless technology with higher data rates and higher

system capacity. It is a fully backward compatible standard and remains interoperable with deployed

EV-DO networks and devices around the world. The increased data rates on Rev. A’s physical layer

enable richer applications and services. For more information, visit www.cdg.org.

● Router — A device that directs traﬃc from one network to another.

● SIM — Subscriber Identiﬁcation Module. Found in GSM network technology, the SIM is a card

containing identiﬁcation information for the subscriber and their account. The SIM card can be moved

to diﬀerent devices.
