  • Page 88: Appendix 2: Glossary

    Wireless N150 Long Range AP/Router Appendix 2: Glossary Channel A communication channel, also known as channel, refers either to a physical transmission medium such as a wire or to a logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel. It is used to transfer an information signal, such as a digital bit stream, from one or more transmitters to one or more receivers. If there is only one AP in the range, select any channel you like. The default is Auto. If there are several APs coexisting in the same area, it is advisable that you select a different channel for each AP to operate on, minimizing the interference between neighboring APs. For example, if 3 American- standard APs coexist in one area, you can set their channels respectively to 1, 6 and 11 to avoid mutual interference. SSID Service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a particular 802.11 wireless LAN. It is the name of a specific wireless network. To let your wireless network adapter roam among different APs, you must set all Aps’ SSID to the same name.
  • Page 89 Wireless N150 Long Range AP/Router WPA/WPA2 The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless network.
