Ethernet – A popular local area data communications network,
which accepts transmission from computers and terminals.
Ethernet operates on a 10 Mbps baseband transmission rate, using
shielded coaxial cable or shielded twisted-pair telephone cable.
Infrastructure – An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called
an Infrastructure configuration.
Roaming – A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and
maintains a continuous connection to the Infrastructure network.
RTS Threshold – Transmitters contending for the medium may
not be aware of each other. The 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.
WEP – “Wired Equivalent Privacy” is based on the use of 64-bit or
128-bit keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless
devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.
