Definition
10Base-T
Technology in Ethernet communications that can deliver 10 Mb of
data across 328 feet (100 meters) of CAT 5 cable.
169.254.0.0
Gateway IP address default in Cambium fixed wireless broadband
IP network modules.
169.254.1.1
IP address default in Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP
network modules.
255.255.0.0
Subnet mask default in Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP
network modules and in Microsoft and Apple operating systems.
802.3
An IEEE standard that defines the contents of frames that are
transferred through Ethernet connections. Each of these frames
contains a preamble, the address to which the frame is sent, the
address that sends the frame, the length of the data to expect, the
data, and a checksum to validate that no contents were lost.
802.11
The IEEE standard for wireless local area networks.
802.15
The IEEE standard for wireless personal area networks.
Access Point
Cluster
Two to six Access Point Modules that together distribute network
or Internet services to a community of subscribers. Each Access
Point Module covers a 60° or 90° sector. This cluster covers as
much as 360°. Also known as BHM cluster.
Access Point
Module
Also known as BHM. One module that distributes network or
Internet services in a 60° or 90° sector.
ACT/4
Second-from-left LED in the module. In the operating mode, this
LED is lit when data activity is present on the Ethernet link.
Activate
To provide feature capability to a module, but not to
enable (turn
on) the feature in the module. See also Enable.
Address
Resolution
Protocol
Protocol defined in RFC 826 to allow a network element to
correlate a host IP address to the Ethernet address of the host. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc826.html
Aggregate
Throughput
The sum of the throughputs in the uplink and the downlink.
APs MIB
Management Information Base file that defines objects that are
specific to the Access Point Module. See also Management
Information Base.
