I
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. A professional society serving
electrical engineers through its publications, conferences, and standards
development activities. The body responsible for the Ethernet 802.3 and wireless
LAN 802.11 specifications.
Infrastructure
The wired Ethernet network.
IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) address of a station, or the layer three address used in routing packets.
IP Subnet Mask
The number used to identify the IP subnetwork, indicating whether the IP
address can be recognized on the LAN or if it must be reached through a
gateway. This number is expressed in a form similar to an IP address; for
example: 255.255.255.0.
ISM
Industrial Scientific Medical — FCC designation for various parts of the radio spectrum oridinally allocated for
unlisenced use. For Access5830 it refers to the 5.725 to 5.850 frequency band.
Isotropic
An antenna that radiates its signal 360 degrees both vertically and horizontally
in a perfect sphere.
M
MAC
Media Access Control address. A unique 48-bit number used in Ethernet data
packets to identify an Ethernet device, such as an access point or your client
adapter.
Modulation
Any of several techniques for combining user information with a transmitter’s
carrier signal.
Multipath
The echoes created as a radio signal bounces off of physical objects.
Multicast Packet
A single data message (packet) sent to multiple addresses.
O
Omni-directional
This typically refers to a primarily circular antenna radiation pattern of certain antennas.
P
Packet
A basic message unit for communication across a network. A packet usually includes routing
information, data, and sometimes error detection information.
R
Range
A linear measure of the distance that a transmitter can send a signal.
Receiver Sensitivity
A measurement of the weakest signal a receiver can receive and still correctly
translate it into data.
RF
Radio frequency. A generic term for radio-based technology.
S
Spread Spectrum
A radio transmission technology that spreads the user information over a much
wider bandwidth than otherwise required in order to gain benefits such as
improved interference tolerance and unlicensed operation.
T
Transmit Power
The power level the radio transmits from its antenna port.
U
UNII
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure— regulations for UNII devices
operating in the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz and 5.725 to 5.825 GHz frequency bands.
UNII-1
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency band.
UNII-2
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz frequency band.
UNII-3
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.725 to 5.825 GHz frequency
band.
Unicast Packet
A single data message (packet) sent to a specific IP address.
W
Workstation
A computing device with an installed client adapte
