6Glossary
IEEE 802.11 Standard
The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standards subcommittee, which is formulating
a standard for the industry.
Access Point
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless
networks together.
Ad Hoc
An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter,
connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad Hoc wireless LAN is
applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation.
BSSID
A specific Ad Hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a
BSS must be configured with the same BSSID.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - a method in which IP addresses are
assigned by server dynamically to clients on the network. DHCP is used for
Dynamic IP
Addressing and requires a dedicated DHCP server on the network.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
This is the method the wireless cards use to transmit data over the frequency
spectrum. The other method is frequency hopping. Direct sequence spreads
the data over one frequency range (channel) while frequency hopping jumps
from one narrow frequency band to another many times per second.
ESSID
An Infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability for mobile
workers. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set
(ESS). Users within an ESS could roam freely between BSSs while served as
a continuous connection to the network wireless stations and Access Points
within an ESS must be configured with the same ESSID and the same radio

19
channel.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a 10/100Mbps network that runs over dedicated home/office wiring.
Users must be wired to the network at all times to gain access.
Gateway
A gateway is a hardware and software device that connects two dissimilar
systems, such as a LAN and a mainframe. In Internet terminology, a gateway
is another name for a router. Generally a gateway is used as a funnel for all
traffic to the Internet.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Infrastructure
An integrated 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.
ISM Band
The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth
for unlicensed use in the so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band.
Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available
worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient
high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network
adapter card connected by cable/air, that share applications, data, and
peripherals. All connections are made via cable or wireless media, but a LAN
does not use telephone services. It typically spans a single building or campus.
Network
A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, files, and
messages can be transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or
wide area networks.
PCMCIA

20
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. Also a PCMCIA
card is also referred to CardBus Adapter.
Protocol
A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to
take place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.
SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share
the same SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is
case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of
TCP/IP. In SNMP, agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor
the activity in the various devices on the network and report to the network
console workstation. Control information about each device is maintained in a
structure known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with
Static IP address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to
each computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the
same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is
manually changed.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advanced Research Projects
Agency (ARPA). It is widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its
superior design for WANs. TCP governs how packet is sequenced for
transmission the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often used generically to refer
to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit / Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services
