small offices.

SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key

identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate

with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the

configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless

Access Point and to the wireless network name.

Static IP Address - A fixed address assigned to a computer or device that is connected to a

network.

Static Routing - Forwarding data in a network via a fixed path.

Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A network protocol for transmitting data that requires

acknowledgement from the recipient of data sent.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - A set of instructions PCs use to

communicate over a network.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) - a wireless encryption protocol that provides dynamic

encryption keys for each packet transmitted.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - A network protocol for transmitting data that does not require

acknowledgement from the recipient of the data that is sent.

VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) - The identifier of the VC contained in the ATM cell header.

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) - The identifier of the VP contained in the ATM cell header.

Update - To replace existing software or firmware with a newer version.

VLAN (Virtual Local Air Network) - Logical su/jointfilesconvert/1315457/bgroups that constitute a Local Area Network (LAN).

This is done in software rather than defining a hardware solution.

VLAN ID (0-4095) - Indicates the ID number of the VLAN being configured. Up to 256 VLANs can

be created.

WAN (Wide Area Network) - Networks that cover a large geographical area.

Web-based Utility - The web page that allows you to manage the Router.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-

bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11g standard.

Wi-Fi - A trade name for the IEEE 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless

Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group

promoting interoperability among IEEE 802.11b devices.

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices

communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - A wireless security protocol use TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS server.
