automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest access
point.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ODFM)
OFDM/ allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the
bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
RTS Threshold
Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. RTS/CTS
mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” If the packet size is smaller than
the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.
Service Set Identifier (SSID)
An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and functions as
a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS).
Session Key
Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a client
connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the access
point.
Shared Key
A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless network.
Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent
Privacy algorithm.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The application protocol in the Internet suite of protocols which offers network
management services.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP
server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
Wired Equivalent Privacy ( WEP)
WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption
algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.
