Bridge
A product that connects 2 different networks that uses the same protocol. Wireless
bridges are commonly used to link network across remote buildings. For wireless
application, there are 2 types of Bridges. WDS Bridge can be used in Point-to-Point
or Point-to-Multipoint topology. Bridge Infrastructure works with AP mode to form a
star topology.
Cable and Connector Loss
During wireless design and deployment, it is important to factor in the cable and
connector loss. Cable and connector loss will reduce the output power and receiver
sensitivity of the radio at connector end. The longer the cable length is, the more the
cable loss. Cable loss should be subtracted from the total output power during
distance calculation. For example, if the cable and connector loss is 3dBm and the
output power is 20dBm; the output power at the cable end is only 17dBm.
Client
Client means a network device or utility that receives service from host or server. A
client device means end user device such as wireless cards or wireless CPE.
CPE Devices
CPE stands for Customer Premises Equipment. A CPE is a device installed on the
end user's side to receive network services. For example, on an ADSL network, the
ADSL modem/router on the subscriber's home is the CPE device. Wireless CPE
means a complete Wireless (usually an AP with built-in Antenna) that receives
wireless broadband access from the WISP. The opposite of CPE is CO.
CTS
Clear To Send. A signal sent by a device to indicate that it is ready to receive data.
