Encryption
Data passing between the access point and clients can use encryption to protect
from interception and evesdropping.
Ethernet
A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission
from computers and terminals.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.
IEEE 802.11b
A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The standard provides for data
rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
IEEE 802.11g
A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard provides
for data rates of 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is also
backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b.
IEEE 802.11n
A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard provides
for data rates of
27, 54, 81, 108, 162, 216, 243, 270, 300
Mbps. IEEE 802.11n is also
backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g.
Infrastructure
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A group of interconnected computer and support devices.
MAC Address
The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The time
servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize
local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio.
