Access Point
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks
together.
Ad Hoc A peer- to-peer wireless network without Access Point. A group of wireless clients
consistent an independent wireless LAN.
Backbone The core infrastructure of a network, the portion of the network that transports
information from one central location to another central location. The information
is then off-loaded onto a local system.
BSS Basic Service Set. An Access Point associated with several wireless stations.
DES LANs with high level of security. A method of data encryption.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
ESS Extended Service Set. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended
Service Set. An ESS is basically a roaming domain.
ESSID Extended Service Set Identifier. The length of the ESSID information is between 0
and 32 octets. A zero-length identifier indicates the broadcast SSID.
Ethernet A popular local area data communications network, originally developed by Xerox
Corp., which accepts transmission from computers and terminals. Ethernet operates
on 10/100 Mbps transmission rate over shielded coaxial cable or over shielded
twisted pair telephone wire.
Infrastructure An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration.
LAN Local Area Network
Roaming A function that allows one to travel with a mobile end system (wireless LAN
mobile station, for example) through the territory of a domain (an ESS, for
example) while continuously connecting to the infrastructure.
TCP/IP Communication protocol used in Ethernet/Internet.
Triple DES A method of data encryption.
WAN Wide Area Network
