Appendix D: Glossary

¾ 2x to 3x eXtended Range

WLAN Transmission Technology - The WLAN device

with 2x to 3x eXtended Range

WLAN transmission technology make its sensitivity

up to 105 dBm, which gives users the ability to have robust, longer-range wireless

connections. With this range-enhancing technology, a 2x to 3x eXtended Range

based client and access point can maintain a connection at as much as three times

the transmission distance of traditional 802.11b and 802.11g products, for a coverage

area that is up to nine times greater. A traditional 802.11b and 802.11g product

transmission distance is about 300m, A 2x to 3x eXtended Range

based client and

access point can maintain a connection transmission distance may be up to 830m.

¾ 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using

direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the

unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b

networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.

¾ 802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the

unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b

devices, and WEP encryption for security.

¾ Access Point (AP) - A wireless LAN transceiver or "base station" that can connect a

wired LAN to one or many wireless devices. Access points can also bridge to each

other.

¾ DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of

websites into IP addresses.

¾ Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the

Internet.

¾ DoS (Denial of Service) - A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or

network from operating or communicating.

¾ DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received

over existing traditional phone lines.

¾ ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.

¾ MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that

can be transmitted.

¾ 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.
