Wireless MAXg USB Adapter: User Guide
CSP cryptographic service provider A cryptographic
service provider contains implementations of
cryptographic standards and algorithms. A smart card is
an example of a hardware-based CSP.
CSMA/CA carrier sense multiple access with collision
avoidance An IEEE 802.11 protocol that ensures that
the number of collisions within a domain are kept to a
minimum.
D
dBm A unit of expression of power level in decibels with
reference to a power of 1 milliwatt.
DBPSK differential binary phase shift keying The
modulation technique used for low transmit rate.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A mechanism
for allocating IP addresses dynamically so that
addresses can be reused when hosts no longer need
them.
DQPSK differential quadrature phase shift keying The
modulation technique used for standard transmit rate.
DSSS direct sequence spread spectrum A spreading
technique in which various data, voice, and/or video
signals are transmitted over a specific set of frequencies
in a sequential manner from lowest to highest
frequency, or highest to lowest frequency.
E
EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol EAP ensures
mutual authentication between a wireless client and a
server that resides at the network operations center.
