H
A numeral system with a radix or base, of 16. It uses sixteen distinct
symbols, 0–9 to represent values zero to nine and A, B, C, D, E, F to
represent values ten to fifteen. Each hexadecimal digit represents four
binary digits (bits).
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to transport Web pages.
When you access the Internet with your browser, the HTTP protocol is
used for data transport (http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When you
access the unit by using the Web Interface, HTTP is used to transport the
information. HTTPS is the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
I
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used by computers and
devices to report errors encountered during processing packets, and to
perform other IP-layer functions, such as diagnostics ('ping').
L
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of limited size to which
computers and devices can connect so that they can communicate with
each other.
A license file is used to enable certain features of the unit. The unit already
has a license file when it is shipped. When more features become
available, you can purchase a license file and download it to the unit to
enable these additional features.
M
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a globally unique network
device address, which is hardware bound. It is used to identify a network
device in a LAN. A MAC address is represented by six two-digit
hexadecimal numbers (0 - 9 and A - F) separated by colons: for example
00:02:2D:47:1F:71 and 00:D0:AB:00:01:AC.
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a formal description of a set of
network objects that can be managed with the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a management
application so that it knows the unit specific objects.
MPDU stands for MAC Protocol Data Unit. MPDUs are the fragmented
units of MSDUs.
MSDU stands for MAC Service Data Unit. The MSDU is that unit of data
that is received from the LLC sub-layer, which lies above the MAC
sub-layer in a protocol stack.
A one-to-many communication or a delivery of a message or information
to a group of destination computers simultaneously in a single
transmission.
