Access Point An interface between a wireless network and a wired
network. Access points can be used with Ethernet or
other communications to enable roaming throughout a
facility.
Ad-Hoc
Network/Mode A wireless network composed of devices that contain a
network interface card and no access point.
Ad-Hoc mode is also called peer-to-peer (point-to-point)
communications or BSS network. As long as the devices
are in range and are on the same channel and SSID, they
connect and communicate. Use this mode if a wireless
infrastructure does not exist or where services are not
required.
Authentication
Method Identifies users on a network, based on a username and
password. There are two types: open and shared.
Authentication protocols include LEAP, PEAP, TLS, TTLS,
EAP-FAST, and PSK.
Auto Method One of the available boot methods. Auto tries DHCP,
BOOTP, and RARP, then sets to the last IP address used
if the IP address is not automatically set using any of the
previous methods.
BOOTP or
Bootstrap Protocol One of the available boot methods. It is a protocol used
by devices that know their MAC address, but do not know
their IP address. The device broadcasts its hardware
address and the BOOTP server responds with the IP
address for it. The network administrator must enter the
MAC address in the BOOTP Config file to obtain the IP
address from the server.
Boot Method The wireless print server uses this method to obtain an IP
address. Can be set to Auto, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or
Static.
Boot Tries The number of times the device tries to get an IP address
from the server when using the BOOTP and DHCP
methods.
BSS or
Basic Service Set A set of 802.11b/g devices operating as a fully connected
wireless network.
