138 A PPENDIX A: N ETWORKING P RIMER Figure 69 Example of a LAN What is a W AN? A W AN (W ide Area Network), often r eferred to as “the W AN,” is that portion of a network which involves use of the pre-existing public telephone network and network infrastructures, such as the public Internet, or long-distance carrier services such as DSL or cab[...]

What is a network? 139 What is a POTS connection? POTS stands for “Plain Old T elephone Service” and refers to a basic, analog telephone connection without any added features or functions.

140 A PPENDIX A: N ETWORKING P RIMER What is an IP Address? An IP address is a numeric value of a set form—32 bits , or binary digits of either one or zero —which is used within a TCP/IP network to uniquely identify the location of every device within the network for purposes of routing data. Each bit is in actuality a digital signal repr esent[...]

The temporary , longer network number identifies the subnet w[...]

What is a network? 143 If your LAN will not connect to the public Internet, you can set up your own unique (that is, private) IP address numbering. IP addr esses for private networks such as an office LAN must also be unique but only within that LAN. What is DHCP? Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a pr ocess that automatically assigns a uniq[...]

If you are dialing into the[...]

What is a network? 145 connected ISP . By bypassing the analog-to-digital conversion in the downstream path, 56K technology can use nearly all of the available 64K network bandwidth.
