11Mbps Wireless LNA Access Point User's Manual
6. Glossary
This section explains the glossary of terms used in this manual that are required to configure
the network
.
Wireless Channel
If there is more than one Wireless LAN network with different ESS-ID on the same floor, and
they are communicating with each other, the baud rate may be slowed, due to the same
radio frequency being used. If this happens, you can still communicate regardless of other
LAN networks by using to use different frequencies (wireless channels).
Note: If they are communications using the wireless LAN, be sure to set all the Units the
same wireless channel.
DHCP Server
When configuring the network TCP/IP, be sure to set the IP address in each personal
computer and other devices. When there is a DHCP server on the network, you can assign
IP addresses automatically to the personal computers and the Access Point on the network.
If there is Windows 2000, Windows NT, dial-up router, or other device with built-in DHCP
server function on the network, the DHCP server function may start to operate. For the
Windows NT server and dial-up router, or other DHCP server function, refer to the Windows
2000, Windows NT, or dial-up router manual, or consult the manufacturer. There should be
no DHCP server problems for Windows 98/95 personal computers only on the network.
ESS-ID
This ID is used to prevent cross-communication during communication between the Access
Point and personal computers within the wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN personal
computers that have the same ESS-ID as the Access Point can communicate with the
Access Point. (ESS-ID is disabled when wireless LAN personal computers are
communicating each other.) The ESS-ID is case sensitive. You can enter a maximum of 32
alphanumeric characters, and the underbar "_".
LAN (Local Area Network)
Read as one word. A LAN is a network in a comparatively small area, such as campus or
within a single building. The LAN baud rate varies from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)
The MAC address is a physical address specific to each network card. The MAC address is
