wireless networks together.
Ad-Hoc
- Ad-Hoc is a peer- to-peer wireless network without Access Point. A group
of wireless clients consistent an independent wireless LAN.
Backbone
- The core infrastructure of a network, the portion of the network that
transports information from one central location to another central location. The
information is then off-loaded onto a local system.
BSS
- Stands for “Basic Service Set.” An Access Point associated with several
wireless stations.
ESS
- Stands for “Extended Service Set.” More than one BSS can be configured as an
Extended Service Set. An ESS is basically a roaming domain.
Infrastructure
- An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure
configuration.
MINI-PCI TYPE III
– Mini-PCI is a small form factor version of the PCI
specification. The Mini-PCI format comes in several different form factors: the Type
I, Type II, and Type III. The Mini-PCI Type III card is the most popular of the Mini-
PCI standards. The Mini-PCI Type III golden finger plugs into a 124-pin card edge
type connector that is similar to the SODIMMS type. Mini-PCI provides the same
32bit 33MHz performance that you have come to expect from the PCI bus. Mini-PCI
is still pretty much an OEM product, as you are not yet able to go to a store and
purchase a Mini-PCI card.
Roaming
- A function that allows one to travel with a mobile end system (wireless
LAN mobile station, for example) through the territory of a domain (an ESS, for
example) while continuously connecting to the infrastructure.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
- To prevent access from the unauthorized
wireless stations to the data that is transmitting through the network, the Wireless
LAN card provides the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) level of security that was
part of the original 802.11 standard. The wireless LAN card supports both 64 bits
WEP and 128 bits data encryption based on the RC4 algorithm.
SSID
- Short for Service Set Identifier. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from
another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN
must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can
provide the unique SSID.
