6710 Access Point User’s Guide
ROM (Read-Only Memory)
ROM contains computer instructions that cannot be repro-
grammed by the user. The computer can read instructions
out of ROM, but no data can be stored in ROM. The user
can change some of the variables within ROM, such as the
software, boot segment, data segment, and baud rate.
Root Subnet
The
root subnet is the Ethernet segment to which the access
point super root connects, which is the distribution LAN.
For Enterprise OWL, the root subnet is the Ethernet link of
the access point that originates an IP tunnel, which is the
super root.
Secondary Ethernet LAN
A
secondary Ethernet LAN is an Ethernet segment that con-
nects to the distribution LAN through a wireless link. A
single access point functions as the
designated bridge for
the secondary LAN.
Segment
In LANs, a
segment is a length of cable from termination to
termination. For example, a 10BASE2 cable segment is the
length of cable between the 50-Ohm terminators that
attach to each end of the cable. For proper network commu-
nications, cable segments must meet ANSI/IEEE standard
specifications.
