The following terms are used in this document.

10BASE-T

IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mb/s Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3
or better UTP cable.

100BASE-TX

IEEE 802.3u specification for 100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet over two pairs of
Category 5 or better UTP cable.

Access Point

networks. Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation
of multiple radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility.
Ad hoc
A group of computers connected as an independent wireless network,
without an access point.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography.
AES provides very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering
algorithm to TKIP and WEP.

Authentication
