UPnP
Abbreviation for “Universal Plug and Play”. A series of network protocols which allow devices
in the network to find one another, communicate and share data easily without requiring
specific intervention or knowledge.
WiFi
Abbreviation for “Wireless Fidelity” A standard which enables computers, smartphones, digital
cameras and other compatible devices to establish a connection with a wireless network
(
WLAN
). The WiFi environment is normally provided by an access point connected to a cabled
network (
LAN
) or the internet via a
router
.
WLAN
Abbreviation for “Wireless Local Area Network”. The WLAN is the modern variant of a
computer network which is used in small companies and households. It consists of multiple
computers and other devices which are connected with one another and can communicate and
exchange data with one another. However, unlike a LAN, the data is transferred wirelessly
rather than by cable. To ensure the wireless signals are not intercepted by unauthorised parties,
encryption
of the signals is very important. The WLAN is often connected to the internet.
WPS
Abbreviation for “WiFi Protected Setup”. For security reasons, wireless networks are encrypted
and a password is required to establish a connection to them. On the one hand, this password
can be defined manually. In this case, the user needs to enter the password to establish a
connection. On the other hand, there is the option whereby a button is pressed on the access
point or router providing the wireless network with a few moments to attempt synchronisation
with the connecting device (e.g. smartphone). This is achieved using the WPS function. As with
Bluetooth
, this synchronisation is only required once. The access data for the
WLAN
is saved
and the device (e.g. smartphone) restores the network connection as soon as it is in range and
its wireless function is activated.
