T
Temporal
Encryption Key
Key used to encrypt data packets.
Temporal Key
Combination of temporal encryption key and temporal MIC key.
Temporal MIC Key
Key used to integrity check data packets
TID
Traffic Identifier (802.1Q user priority value)
TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
transmit power
The power level of radio transmission.
U
UNII
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure—regulations for UNII devices
operating in the 5.15- to 5.35-GHz and 5.725- to 5.825-GHz frequency bands.
UNII-1
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz frequency
band.
UNII-2
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.25- to 5.35-GHz frequency
band.
UNII-3
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.725- to 5.825-GHz frequency
band.
unicast packet
A single data message (packet) sent to a specific IP address.
W
WDS
Wireless Domain Services. An access point providing WDS on your wireless
LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices on your
wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access point to
another, the WDS access point forwards the client’s credentials to the new access
point with the multicast key. Only two packets pass between the client and the
new access point, greatly shortening the reassociation time.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy. An optional security mechanism defined within the
802.11 standard designed to make the link integrity of wireless devices equal to
that of a cable.
WLSE
Wireless LAN Solutions Engine. The WLSE is a specialized appliance for
managing Cisco wireless LAN infrastructures. It centrally identifies and
configures access points in customer-defined groups and reports on throughput
and client associations. WLSE centralized management capabilities are further
enhanced with an integrated template-based configuration tool for added
configuration ease and improved productivity.
