that when a domain name is requested (as in typing easyDNS.com into an Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on the home network is the location of the DNS server the ISP has assigned. DHCP Dynamic Host Control Protocol provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
MAC Media Access Control is the lower of the two sub-layers of the data link layer defined by the IEEE. The MAC sub-layer handles access to shared media, such as whether token passing or contention will be used. MIB Management Information Base. OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing techniques which allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
Subnet Mask A subnet mask is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by Inter-NIC). Subscriber Station A general term for a customer’s WIMAX terminal equipment that provides connectivity with a base station.
