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. A POTS line is used to connect analog devices, such as a telephone, fax machine, or your Dual 56K LAN Modem, to the public telephone network.
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.
What is a network? 141 reserved for other purposes). By contrast, a Class A network’ s IP address allocates eight bits for the network number and 24 bits for the local address, allowing for a possible combination of 16,777,214 (2 24 -2) local addresses.
142 A PPENDIX A: N ETWORKING P RIMER A private organization’ s internal router uses this new breakdown of (longer) network number and (shorter) host number to route data to subdivided ar eas, or subnets, within the broader “network” (as identified by the original network number).
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.
144 A PPENDIX A: N ETWORKING P RIMER throughput. On the LAN side, computers on a typical network can communicate with each other at up to 10 Mbps. When dialing up to a long distance location using 56K, you can establish a network connection speed of up to 56 Kbps without compression or up to 115.
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. (Upstream data, typically less sensitive, travels at the standar d V .
