Domain name and Host name
The terms “domain name” and “host name” are sometimes, slightly
inaccurately, used as synonyms. In a full domain name, e.g.
www.forum.nokia.com, the first part of the name is the name of the host,
and the following parts are names of domains to which the host belongs.
Each host name corresponds to a certain IP address. Host names are used
because they are easier to remember than IP addresses.
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) Tones
The system used by touch-tone telephones. DTMF assigns a specific
frequency, or tone, to each key so that it can easily be identified by a
microprocessor. DTMF tones allow you to communicate with voice
mailboxes, computerised telephony systems, etc.
Gateway IP address
The address of a WAP gateway. (see: WAP gateway).
Hotspot
A World Wide Web (WWW) page may contain hotspots, such as selection
lists, text entry fields, and reset/submit buttons, which enable you to input
information into the WWW.
HSCSD
High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data is circuit-switched wireless data
transmission for mobile users at data rates up to 43.2 Kbps which is four
times faster than the standard data rates of the Global System for Mobile
(GSM) communication standard in 1999. HSCSD is comparable to the speed
of many computer modems that communicate with today's fixed telephone
networks.
