Coverage

The region within which a paging receiver can receive reliably the transmission of the paging

signals.

Coverage

Area

The geographical reach of a mobile communications network or system.

Coverage

Hole

An area within the radio coverage footprint of a wireless system in which the RF signal level is

below the design threshold. Coverage holes are usually caused by physical obstructions such as

buildings, foliage, hills, tunnels, and indoor parking garages.

Cyclic

Dynamic

Host

Configuration

Protocol

(DHCP)

A protocol that automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to client stations logging onto an IP

network, so users do not have to configure the IP addresses manually. The EOA7530 contains an

internal DHCP server that automatically allocates IP address using a user-defined address range.

Dead

Spot

An area within the coverage area of a WLAN in which there is no coverage or transmission falling

off. Dead spots are often caused by electronic interference or physical barriers such as hills,

tunnels, and indoor parking garages. See also coverage area.

802.11

A category of WLAN standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE).

802.11a

An IEEE standard for WLANs that operate at 5 GHz, with rates up to 54 Mbps.

802.11b

An IEEE standard for WLANs that operate at 2.4 GHz, with rates up to 11 Mbps.

802.11g

IEEE

Encryption

The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data

security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables

you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text ; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text
