Network - ANSCollections of computers or hardware that is connected physically or logically.
Local Area Network - ANSUses physical wiring to connect devices. Comprised of computers,
peripheral devices, and local servers. The server provides access to shared apps, printers, and
disk storage.
Decoder - ANSTakes the encoded signal and converts it back to the original signal, or into a
new video or audio format.
Encoder - ANSTakes info from one video or audio format and converts it to another.
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) - ANSConnects wireless devices to each other using high
frequency radio signals to communicate data. AKA wi-fi.
Wide Area Network (WAN) - ANSConnects networks that are located in different geographical
locations. Provide communication as one large network for smaller networks or LANs.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) - ANSLets users on less secure networks send and receive data
more securely. Also allow employees to be at home or travel and access their company's
network remotely.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) - ANSVirtual, logical connection of multiple devices from
different LANs into one network. For example, you can group multiple devices together in a this
network to reduce traffic across the larger network.
Broadcast Domain - ANSA collection of devices that receive broadcast traffic from each other.
Audio Video Local Network - ANSDedicated network specifically for providing secure control of
local AV devices without outside interference or intrusion. Similar to a VLAN since it creates a
separate broadcast domain for the AV devices. Allow the AV system to run even if it's been
disconnected from the LAN.
Pro Series - ANSThis Extraon product series has an AV LAN port
AV LAN Port - ANSProvide Power over Ethernet, allowing communication with supported
devices such as touch panels.
Ways a network can be classified. - ANSNumber of devices, scope, ability
, Intranet - ANSPrivate network that resembles the internet. It is secured through firewalls that
hide its data.
Extranet - ANSa private network connecting more than one organization. It uses VPN
technology to allow limited network access
Packet - ANSunits of data transmitted over the network. Before being sent, the data is divided
into manageable segments to that information can be transmitted more efficiently instead of in a
large, single file.
Packet switching - ANSA type of network communication in which data traffic is split into parts.
Destination - ANSPackets are labeled with a ________ address.... for transmitting across the
network.
sequence - ANSPackets are labeled with a...... __________ number for transmitting across the
network.
Devices - ANSDuring transmission, the data packets travel through various ___________ to
reach their destination.
Reassembled - ANSThe original data is ____________ in the correct order, based on the
sequence number contained within the message packet.
Internet Protocol - ANSThe set of rules that define how computers and devices communicate
over a network
IPv4 - ANSThe most common type of IP. Used by Extron.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) - ANSdefines the amount of traffic over the network and is
responsible for actual delivery of the data.
Connection-oriented protcol - ANSonce a connection is established, packets can be sent in two
directions. TCP is considered this.
TCP/IP - ANSTCP and IP working together to control network data transmission.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) - ANSAn alternative communications protocol. Primarily used for
establishing low latency and loss tolerating connections between applications on the Internet.
Does not have error-checking like TCP, so packets can be lost.
Static IP - ANSaddresses are manually configured and cannot change.
