different communication protocols, data formatting structures, languages, and/or architecture. HT mode In the 802.11n system, two new formats, called High Throughput (HT), are defined for the Physical Layer, Mixed Mode, and Green Field. If a system runs 40 HT, two adjacent 20 MHz channels are used. The larger 40 MHz bandwidth can provide better transmit quality and speed. Keys Like passwords, keys open (decrypt) and close (encrypt) messages. While many encryption algorithms are commonly known and public, the key must be kept secret. Local‐Area Network (LAN) A small data network covering a limited area, such as a building or group of buildings. Most LANs connect workstations or personal computers. LANs let many users share devices such as printers as well as data. LANs also facilitate communication through e‐mail or chat sessions. Media Access Control (MAC) Address Address associated with every hardware device on the network. Every 802.11 wireless device has its own specific MAC address. This unique identifier is hard‐coded into the device and can be used to provide security for WLANs. When a network uses a MAC table, only the 802.11 radios that have their MAC addresses added to that network's MAC table can access the network. Network Address Translation (NAT) An Internet standard that lets a LAN use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic. Network Time Protocol (NTP) A protocol that lets devices synchronize their time with a time server. NTP uses TCP or UDP port 123 by default. Passphrase A text string that automatically generates WEP keys on wireless client adapters. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) A PoE provides power to PoE‐enabled devices using an 8‐pin CAT 5 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a power source. Preamble Synchronizes transmissions in a WLAN. The preamble type defines the length of the Cyclic Redundancy Check block for communication between a device and roaming wireless stations. Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) ...

management for computers to connect and use a network service. Because of its broad support and ubiquitous nature, the RADIUS protocol is often used by ISPs and enterprises to manage access to the Internet or internal networks, WLANs, and integrated e‐mail services. Service Set Identifier (SSID) Name of a WLAN. All wireless devices on a WLAN must use the same SSID to communicate with each other. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) An Internet‐standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Snooping Passively watching a network for data, such as passwords, that can be used to benefit a hacker. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) An encryption protocol that uses 128‐bit keys. Keys are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server. TKIP regularly changes and rotates encryption keys, with an encryption key never being used twice. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) A protocol that allows communications over and between networks. TCP/IP is the basis for Internet communications. Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) WFQ services queues are based on priority and queue weight. Queues with larger weights get more service than queues with smaller weights. This highly efficient queuing mechanism divides available bandwidth across different traffic queues. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Security protocol that provides a WLAN with a level of security and privacy comparable to that of a wired LAN. WEP encrypts data sent between wired and WLANs to keep transmissions private. Wireless Local‐Area Network (WLAN) WLANs use RF technology to send and receive data wirelessly in a certain area. This lets users in a small zone send data and share resources such as printers without using cables to physically connect each computer. Wi‐Fi Protected Access (WPA ) A subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA applies IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC), and IEEE 802.1x to encrypt data. See also WPA‐PSK (WPA ‐Pre‐Shared Key). Wi‐Fi MultiMedia (WMM) Part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement to the Wi‐Fi standard that ensures quality of service for multimedia applications in WLANs. ...

WPA2 A wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication, and key management than WPA. It includes two data encryption algorithms, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), in the Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message authentication Code Protocol (CCMP). Wireless Distribution System (WDS) A technology that lets Access Points communicate with one another to extend the range of a WLAN. ...
