Infrastructure 

An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. 

Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central 

database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 

ISM Band

 

The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for 

unlicensed use in the so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and 

Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular is being made 

available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place 

convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe. 

Local Area Network (LAN)

 

A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network adapter 

card connected by cable/air, that share applications, data and peripherals. All 

connections are made via cable or wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone 

services. It typically spans a single building or campus. 

Network

 

A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, files, and messages can 

be transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks. 

Protocol

 

A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to take 
place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking. 

SSID

 

A Network ID is unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the 
same SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive. 

Static IP Addressing

 

A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks 

with a Static IP address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP 

address to each computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a 

computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to 

the network, unless it is manually changed.
