5. What is Ad-hoc?
An Ad-hoc integrated wireless LAN is a group of computers, each has a
Wireless LAN card, Connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc
wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or
SOHO operation.
6. What is Infrastructure?
An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN is called an
Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise
scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for
mobile workers.
7. What is BSS ID?
A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers
in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID.
8. What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a
40 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802 .11 standard.
9. What is TKIP?
TKIP is a quick-fix method to quickly overcome the inherent
weaknesses in WEP security, especially the reuse of encryption keys.
TKIP is involved in the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard, and the
specification might be officially released by early 2003.
10. What is AES?
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), a chip-based security, has been
developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for
digital information, wherever and however communicated or stored,
while making more efficient use of hardware and/or software than
previous encryption standards. It is also included in IEEE 802.11i
standard. Compare with AES, TKIP is a temporary protocol for
