RPA stands for robotic process automation. It represents some of the most cutting-edge technological developments of the modern era with its ability to improve efficiency gains in business operations. RPA uses software bots to automate tasks, eliminating the need for people to perform manual labor and other tasks that involve rote, repetitive processes. RPA is […]
Key phones are traditional desk phones with a central unit and handset. Able to support up to 50 users, they’re often used by small to medium-sized offices. They have a dial pad and special buttons that let users route calls to other extensions or access features like hold or transfer. A key phone system has […]
A VoIP quality test measures the performance of your network connection. The test simulates a set number of calls on your network and uses key metrics to determine how calls would sound in different situations. It can help you understand whether your connection is strong enough before implementing a VoIP system and alert you to […]
Confused about network security keys? You’re not alone. This guide includes step-by-step instructions on how to find your network key for the four most popular digital devices. Here’s a quick summary: iOS: Open the Settings app, tap on Wi-Fi, select your connected network, and find the Password field. Android: Open the Settings app, tap on […]
Network Address Translation (NAT) is one of the key technological concepts behind the performance of communication networks and the internet at large. NAT is a mechanism for converting private (local) IP addresses into public (global) IP addresses and vice versa. There are six main NAT types: static, dynamic, port address translation, overlapping, and masquerade. Understanding […]
Routers and firewalls are network security devices, sometimes grouped into business and home network packages or sold separately as dedicated hardware. Though the two are closely linked, routers and firewalls are very different devices. Router: Exchanges data between networks or gateways. Firewall: Blocks traffic from protected networks. Put simply, routers connect networks and move data […]
A host-based firewall is installed and run on a single device, like a laptop, cell phone, or server. These firewalls are tailored to individual devices so they can monitor and control its specific traffic — as opposed to network-based firewalls, which protect an entire network of devices. Most consumer devices come with host-based firewalls pre-installed. […]
A firewall is a security protocol that protects your internal network from the threats of the internet. It keeps an eye on the data that comes in and out of your home network. Without a firewall, your trusted private network could be at risk of cyberattacks, data breaches, and malware from the public. 1 CloudTalk […]
In networking, “state” refers to the context or session data of a current network connection. A stateful firewall, therefore, keeps track of the state of each connection passing through it, while a stateless firewall does not. Although they may sound less restrictive, stateless firewalls are incredibly useful for securing home and business networks. They use […]
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically assigns unique IP addresses to your devices, along with other necessary details like subnet masks and default gateway information. This process allows devices to communicate within the network and access the internet. Automating this process, rather than manually configuring each device, saves a lot of time and reduces […]
