Broadband Wireless Router (AP) User Manual
RIP (Routing Information
Protocol)
RIP is a routing protocol that uses the
distance-vector routing algorithms to
calculate least-hops routes to a
destination. It is used on the Internet
and is common in the NetWare
environment. It exchanges routing
information with other routers. It
includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which
controls the sending and receiving of
RIP packets over Ethernet.
UDP (User Data gram Protocol)
UDP is a connectionless transport
service that dispenses with the
reliability services provided by TCP.
UDP gives applications a direct
interface with IP and the ability to
address a particular application
process running on a host via a port
number without setting up a
connection session.
Virtual Server
You can designate virtual servers,
e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server,
on your local network and make them
accessible to the outside world. A
virtual server means that it is not a
dedicated server -- that is, the entire
computer is not dedicated to running
on the public network but in the
private network.
Infrastructure mode
A backbone to extend the service
provided by network. This mode
provides wireless connectivity to
multiple wireless network devices
within a fixed range or area of
coverage, interacting with wireless
nodes via an antenna.
SSID
SSID is a thirty-two
character(maximum) alphanumeric
key identifying the wireless local area
network.
Service Set Identity. A group name
shared by all members of an IEEE
802.11b network. Only devices with
the same SSID are allowed to
establish connections. For the
wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all
device must be configured with the
same SSID.
MAC Address
Media Access Code Address. A
unique, 48-bit number assigned to
every network interface card by the
manufacturer.
