Glossary
IEEE (Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers)
"I-triple-E," involved in a wide range of fields from
communications and computer to medicine and biology, with
primary activities related to publishing articles and sponsoring
conferences, but also recommending and setting of standards. The
organization sponsoring Committee 802, which is responsible for
LAN related matters.
IEEE 802.11/ IEEE 802.11b
The wireless LAN standard established by the IEEE.
MIB (Management Information Base)
The value of a MIB is determined by the Internet standard control
information structure.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
A function necessary for network control, provides three functions:
Get (acquire), Set (modify), and Trap (notify event). Conceived as
an easily installable control protocol that places as little load on the
network as possible.
Diversity
A method of using multiple antennas, and selecting the one with the
best receiving conditions.
Router
A device for relaying between LAN's. The router determines data
addresses by the combination of a network address assigned to the
network and an individual computer address. Used particularly in
medium-scale and larter LAN systems with very large number of
clients, to reduce traffic (congestion) on communication lines.
Bridge
A device for relaying between LAN's. The bridge determines
whether to relay data based on the address of the computer to which
the data is being sent. It can be used to connect networks having
different protocols, or when data for broadcast to all computers is
received, can send this to all connected networks.
