5.5, and 11 Mbps, a working frequency in the range of 2.4 to 2.4835
GHz, and WEP encryption. IEEE802.11 wireless networks are also
referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
• IEEE802.11g
This standard includes IEEE802.11b and, moreover, data rates of 6,
12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps for the modulation mode OFDM. An
11b device is usually able to communicate with an 11g device if the
compatibility mode has been switched on in the 11g device.
• Infrastructure mode
A network in the infrastructure mode is a network which contains at
least one access point as communications and control center. In a net-
work in the infrastructure mode, all clients will exclusively communi-
cate with each other over access points. There is no direct
communication between the individual clients. Such a network is also
referred to as BSS (Basic Service Set). A network which consists of
several BSSs is called ESS (Extended Service Set). Most wireless net-
works are operated in the infrastructure mode to set up connections
to the wired network.
• IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) in its most frequently used form has a 32-
bit address which is used to identify the senders and receivers of pack-
ets unambiguously. You can send requests in the Web to remote serv-
ers or send e-mails, and the opposite terminal will know from where
the request or the e-mail comes. There are public and private IP
addresses. Private IP addresses are preferably assigned by routers if a
group of computers is used in a private or corporate network. Such
addresses may read, for instance, 192.168.0.1.
• IPCONFIG
This is an auxiliary program used by Windows computers to check or
modify the proper IP settings.
• ISP
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a provider of Internet services or
related services, such as the hosting of websites or website creation.
