the field „Connection status“:
• not connected - No connection to the internet established
• connecting - Trying to establish a connection to the internet
• connected - Sucessfully connected to the internet
If a successful connection to the internet is established, it is possible to start the PING-test to test the
connection. The PING-test sends data packets to a certain IP address and receives packets again from
this selected IP address. Consequently you can notice if data packets can get send and received from the
internet.
• root dns - connection test to Main-DNS-server
• google - connection test to website www.google.com
• funworld - connection test to website funworld.operationnetwork.org
2.2.7 Internet connection with GPRS
The configuration of the connection is exactly the same as UMTS (see 2.2.6 Internet connection with UMTS).
However, internet providers use different inistrings for GPRS configuration. The mobile phone provider, who
has equipped you with the SIM card, provides you with the required GPRS settings.
2.2.8 Connection Test
After the internet connection gets defined, the possibility exists to immediately test the configured internet
connection if a successful connection to the internet can be established.
Therefore press the „Connection test“ button.

DSL:
„Digital Subscriber Line“
DSL is a telecommunication technology that provides a fast, permanent connection to the Internet by using
the two-wire copper cable found in almost every home and office.
Either the same range is available for the transmission in each direction, or however - that is the more
often the case - the channel for receiving data (Downstream) is more efficient than for sending data
(Upstream). There are several types of DSL and xDSL refers to the family of DSL technologies:
The most common techniques permit 1.5 to 1.6 Mbps (megabit per second), which is at least 15 times
faster than an ISDN connection.
ADSL:
„Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line“
The most common form of DSL is ADSL
It entails one high-speed, unidirectional data channel and one low-speed, bidirectional control channel (making it asynchronous). Basically, this means you can download faster than you can upload. ADSL supports
data rates to 8 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and rates up to
1 Mbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).
LAN:
„Local Area Network“
A local communication network in a relatively small, predetermined area (such as a room, a building, or a set
of buildings) consisting of one or more computers (LAN Server), workstations, a network operating system,
an uniform protocol and special cables as communication line.
Server:
A server is the control computer on a LAN, meaning it controls the software, access to printers and other
parts of the network. It houses information and responds to requests for information.
Ethernet:
Network protocol for local networks
Ethernet represents the most common technology for the connection of local networks (LANs).
Protocol:
A specification that describes how computers talk to each other on a network. A protocol is an established
method of exchanging data over the Internet.
The most common protocols are : HTTP, IP, POP, PPP, SMTP, TCP/IP
DHCP:
22
„Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol“
A protocol that provides a mean to allocate IP address dynamically to computers on a LAN. It eliminates the
need to manually assign permanent IP addresses.
TCP/IP:
„Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol“
The TCP/IP is the Standard-Internet-Protocol.
The Internet-Protocol (IP) specifies the transmission route for the data packages. The TCP protocol
guarantees that all sent bytes will be received correctly. TCP/IP is therefor a „routable“ protocol.
IP AdDress:
„Internet Protocol“-Address;
A numeric address that is given to computers connected to the Internet.
Gateway:
A system for exchanging information across networks that are incompatible and use different protocols.
Basically, a gateway is a combination of hardware and software that connects two different types of
networks so that information can get exchanged. The hardware devices (called „bridges“) and the
computer programs perform the necessary translations.
Subnet Mask:
A number used to identify a subnet work so that an IP address can be shared on a LAN.
An IP address has two components, the network address and the host address.
DNS:
The Domain Name System (DNS) helps users to find their way around the Internet. Every computer on the
Internet has a unique address -just like a telephone number- which is a rather complicated string of numbers. It is called „IP address.“ But it is hard to remember everyone‘s IP address. The DNS makes it
easier by allowing a familiar string of letters (the „domain name“) to be used instead of the arcane
IP address.
PPP:
„Point to Point Protocol“
The PPP is a data transmission protocol in the internet, which is used for modem-connections.
PPPoE:
„PPP over Ethernet“
PPPoE is the use of the network protocol PPP over an Ethernet-connection. PPPoE is needed today for the
use of an ADSL connection (specially in Germany).
PPTP:
„Point to Point Tunneling Protocol“
23
PPTP is a network protocol, which is used for an ADSL-access (specially in Austria).
DSL Modem:
The DSL modem, serves the transmission of data over a DSL-line.
Router:
A Router is a switching-computer, which is involved in establishing a connection in a computer network, e.g.
the internet. Such switching-computers route the data packages on the basis of the address to the
respective target computer. The address determines, to which other Router or personal computer the data
must be send to and the Router decides for each case (temporally and distance-moderately) the most
favourable way. You can also use a Router to function as a switching-computer between several local
networks (LANs) with a uniform protocol.
Splitter:
A splitter separates language traffic (e.g. a telephone) from the data traffic.
On the interface for data traffic an ADSL modem or routing can be plugged on.
GPRS:
„General Packet Radio Service“
The GPRS is a new non voice value added service based on the IP protocol that allows information to be
sent and received across a GSM mobile telephone network.
The conventional GSM network data transmission rates are a maximum of 9.6 Kbps (bit per second), with
GPRS theoretically far over 100 Kbps are possible. However so far the actually carried out values are approx.
40Kbps.
APN:
„Access Point Name“
An APN-access is comparable with a dial-in number,
which assigns the GPRS-connection a functionality, like a Internet-, network- or WAP-access
Initstring (AT-command)
AT-commands are instruction codes for intelligent modems
Intelligent modems can be configured or steered by AT-commands
ISDN:
„Integrated Services Digital Network“
An international communications standard for sending voice, video, and data over digital telephone
lines or normal telephone wires.
ISDN consists of two 64-Kbps B-channels and one D-channel for transmitting control information
Access) which is responsible for the connection of the ISDN terminal equipment.
On one S0-Bus it is possible to connect 8 terminals
B-Kanal (ISDN):
ISDN consists of two 64-Kbit/sec channels (called the B channels). Therewith two connections can get
established at the same time.
SIM (SIM card)
SIM cards are telephone cards for mobile phones. SIM cards identify the subscriber of the telephone
PIN:
„personal identification number“
The PIN is a secret number of a SIM-, credit- or Euro cheque card, which serves for the identification of the
card owner
WEP:
„Wired Equivalent Privacy“
Security protocol to encrypt radio waves in a wireless local area network. A WEP key-code is used for the
data encoding. The more highly the bit-rate of the key, the more highly the protection.
RAM:
„Random Access Memory“; working memory of the computers
The RAM is (in contrast to the hard disc drive) a non-permanent memory,
the data in the RAM will be stored as long as the current power supply is not interrupted.
UMTS:
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is one of the third-generation (3G) cell phone
technologies.
To differentiate UMTS from competing network technologies, UMTS is sometimes marketed as 3GSM, emphasizing the combination of the 3G nature of the technology and the GSM standard which it was
designed to succeed.
WCDMA:
Wideband Code Division Multiple Access is a type of 3G cellular network. W-CDMA is the higher speed
transmission protocol used in the Japanese FOMA system and in the UMTS system, a third generation
follow-on to the 2G GSM networks deployed worldwide.
More technically, W-CDMA is a wideband spread-spectrum mobile air interface that utilizes the direct
sequence Code Division Multiple Access signalling method (or CDMA) to achieve higher speeds and
support more users compared to the implementation of time division multiplexing (TDMA) used by 2G GSM
networks.
S0 Bus (ISDN):
The S0 Bus is an international standard Bus with 4 wires behind the NTBA (Network Termination for Basic

25
HSDPA:
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (also known as High-Speed Downlink Protocol Access) is a 3G (third
generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family,
which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data
transfer speeds and capacity.
