Below are some useful terms and their definitions.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. ADSL is a technology to transmit digital
information at high bandwidths across existing copper phone lines. Download
speeds are typically much faster than upload speeds (hence the term "asymmetric").
Domain Name
This refers to the unique name attached to your organization on the Internet.
For example, "tofu-dog.com" or "contribs.org". If you don't have a domain name,
your ISP can help you select one, ensure it is available, and register it.
DNS
Domain Name Service. Refers to the software and protocols involved in translating
domain names to IP addresses. Your server provides DNS lookup services for your local
network, and your ISP typically also provides you with the IP addresses of DNS servers.
These servers do not need to be configured into your server as the DNS server that is
provided with your server will correctly resolve all local and Internet names.
ETRN
ETRN is a command used for dialup solutions in order to retrieve e-mail temporarily
stored at your ISP
Gateway IP Address
A gateway is the device on your network that forwards packets to and from the Internet.
The gateway IP address is the IP address for that device.
i-bay
Information Bay. A mechanism for creating intranets, extranets, shared directories
and other resources
ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network. Digital modem line. Provides higher speeds than
K56/V90. Single channel ISDN provides speeds of 56K to 64K. Dual channel ISDN
provides speeds of 110K to 128K.
ISO
1. International Organization for Standardization.
Relevant link: www.iso.org - ISO Home Page
2. ISO followed by a number is used to identify one of the published ISO standards.
Relevant link: www.standardsglossary.com - ISO Standards Glossary, lists all the
international standards published by ISO and provides a quick reference for looking
up the topic of an ISO standard.
3. A file containing a complete release of SME Server that is downloaded and
burned to CD. The CD is then used to install the SME Server Operating System
ISP
Internet Service Provider
LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (see VPN)
RAID1

SME

SSH
Secure shell. A secure, encrypted way to log in to a remote machine across a network,
or to copy files from a local machine to a server
VPN
Virtual Private Network (see PPTP)
