PIN
Personal Identification Number

combination has to be entered in order
to access a protected area.

Port
Data is exchanged between two applications in a Network via a port.
Port forwarding
The Internet gateway (e.g. your router)
forwards data packets from the Internet that are directed to a certain Port to
the port concerned. This allows servers
in the LAN to offer services on the
Internet without you needing a public
IP address.
Port number
Indicates a specific application of Network subscribers. Depending on the
setting in the LAN, the port number is
permanently assigned or else it is
newly assigned with each access.
The combination of IP address/Port
number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within a
network.
Pre-dialling
See Block dialling.
Private IP address
See Public IP address.
Protocol
Describes the agreements for communicating within a Network. It contains
rules for opening, administering and
closing a connection, about data formats, time frames and possible error
handling.
