Glossary
Access Point (Infrastructure)
Network mode
A method of building a wireless network
using one or more Access Points. For
details, see "Capabilities" on page 5.
Channel
A part of the frequency spectrum to be
used for wireless communication.
Only client computers and Access Points
set to the same channel can communicate
with each other.
Client
A computer connected to a LAN (Local
Area Network). Also may be called a
client computer.
DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)
DHCP lets network administrators centrally
manage and automate assignment of client
computer IP addresses.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A system that translates host names into
IP addresses.
Networks that use the TCP/IP protocol,
such as the Internet, use a set of numbers
like 192.168.0.1 (IP address) to identify a
computer. However, since the IP address
is hard to memorize, DNS was developed
to allow a name like "www.sony.com" to
identify a computer for convenience. DNS
servers manage these translations from
host names into IP addresses.
