Glossary
Following terms are frequently used in this manual.
Term
Definition
AP
Access Point
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that
enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to concern devices.
Static
A static address is a fix IP address assigned to the device.
PPPoE
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, a network protocol
for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet
frames.
WLAN
WLAN i.e. Wireless Local Area Network, a wireless network that can transfer
data at high speeds.
LAN
Local Area Network
WAN
Wide Area Network
SSID
An SSID i.e. Service Set Identifiers a unique ID that consists of 32
characters and is used for naming wireless networks.
WPA2
WPA2 (Encryption Method) - Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key, is
a method of securing your network using Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for
authentication.
WPA-Mixed
With WPA mixed (Encryption Method) mode network, one can connect with
both WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) clients.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included as
part of the IEEE 802.11i standard for wireless LANs (WLANs). It was
designed to provide more secure encryption than the notoriously weak
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the original WLAN security protocol.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is an encryption protocol which is
much more secure as it uses longer encryption keys.
Wireless 2.4
GHz
2.4GHz band provides great distance coverage, however transmits data at
slower speeds.
Wireless 5 GHz
The 5 GHz band provides less coverage, however transmits data at faster
speeds.

Authentication
method
Open: Any encryption method can be used. It allows you to
configure a WPA2 or WPA-Mixed or "none" based encryption.
By Choosing a WPA or WPA-Mixed, you can then enter a
passphrase or key text of our choice.
802.1xEAP: 802.1X (also known as WPA-Enterprise), is an
authentication method by which users are authenticated using
an external RADIUS server.

Parameter Detail Description
Algorithm
AES: This algorithm provides enhanced security over TKIP, and is the
only encryption algorithm supported by the 802.11i standard.
TKIP: TKIP is a stopgap encryption protocol introduced with WPA to
replace the very –insecure WEP encryption at the time.
Encryption
Method
WPA2: WPA encryptions that comply with the 802.11i security standard.
None: No encryption; communications are sent in clear text.
WPA-Mixed: Allows mixed networks of WPA and WPA2 compliant
devices. You can use this if your network has a mixture of older clients
that only support WPA and TKIP, and newer client devices that support
WPA2 and AES.
