Access Point

An Access Point, such as the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl, is the centre of a wireless local
network (

WLAN

). It handles the connection of the wireless linked network components

and regulates the data traffic in the wireless network. The Access Point also serves as an
interface to other networks, for example an existing

Ethernet

LAN or via a modem to the

Internet

. The operating mode of wireless networks with an Access Point is called

Infrastructure mode

Ad-hoc mode

Ad-hoc mode describes wireless local networks (

WLANs

) in which the network compo-

nents set up a spontaneous network without an

Access Point

for example several Note-

books in a conference. All the network components are peers. They must have a wire-
less

Network adapter

Auto Connect

Auto Connect means that applications such as Web browser, Messenger and Email
automatically open an

Internet

connection when they are launched. This can lead to

high charges if you are not using

Flat rate

. This function can be deactivated at the

Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl to save call charges.

Bridge

A Bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, for example to
make a

TCP/IP

network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, for

example different connections such as

Ethernet

and wireless LANs. Linking individual

segments via Bridges allows local networks of practically unlimited size.

Broadcast

A Broadcast is a data packet not directed to a particular recipient but to all the network
components in the network. The Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl does not pass broadcast pack-
ets on; they always remain within the local network (

LAN

) it administers.

BSSID

Basic Service Set ID
BSSID permits unique differentiation of one wireless network (

) from another. In

the BSSID is the

In wireless net-

works in

Ad-hoc mode

the BSSID is the MAC address of any one of the participants.

Client

A Client is an application that requests a service from a

Server

. For example, an http Cli-

ent on a PC in a local network requests data, i.e. Web pages from an HTTP Server on the

Internet

. Frequently the network component (for example the PC) on which the Client

application is running is also called a Client.
