PPPoA
Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
PPPoA is a

Protocol

that connects network components in a local Ethernet network to

the

Internet

via an ATM network.

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
SE366 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

.

Radio network

WLAN

RADIUS server
A RADIUS server acts as a central authentication server. In doing so, the RADIUS server
handles authentication processes (user/password verification). It also provides parame-
ters for the connection to the

Client

. The RADIUS server obtains the data for this func-

tion from its own configuration files, its own configuration databases or requests them
from other databases or directory services that store access data (e.g. user name and
password).

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

.
