BreezeMAX Si 4000 CPE 111 User Manual
100BASE-TX IEEE 802.3u specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two
pairs of Category 5 or better UTP cable.
10BASE-T IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs
of Category 3 or better UTP cable
Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) An strong encryption algorithm that implements symmetric
key cryptography.
Access List (ACL) A list of MAC addresses which are allowed to access the device
Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) Automatic electronic regulation by recording devices of video
and audio signals at a predetermined rate (by electronic
control).
Authentication The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network
access. IEEE 802.11 specifies two forms of authentication:
open system and shared key.
Auto-negotiation Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum
operational mode (speed and duplex mode) based on the
capabilities of the node to which it is connected.
Best Effort (BE) One of the five QoS service types defined in the IEEE 802.16
WiMAX.
Base Station A WIMAX service provider’s equipment that is installed at a
fixed location to provide network connectivity for subscriber
stations within a defined service area.
Broadcast Key Broadcast keys are sent to stations using 802.1X dynamic
keying. Dynamic broadcast key rotation is often used to allow
the access point to generate a random group key and
periodically update all key-management capable wireless
clients.
Channel Allocation
Priority Level (CAPL) CAPL scan list is defined by the customer provisioned list.
There are some parameters with CAPL scan: NAPID, priority
and RefID.
NAPID is used to filter some BS if the NAPID is not matched.
Priority is the customer defined priority scan order. Higher
priority will be scanned first.
RefID is a result of mapping from IDs into a scan list from the
channel plan.
