These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between computers
Access point in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an access point, it can
communicate through the network connected to the access point.
Next generation standard cryptography standardized by the National
AES Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard
The devices that are used for different network standards from yours.
Default Gateway enables a connection with other network, by adjusting
DEFAULT
bilateral differences such as communication protocols. If no gateway is
GATEWAY
specified for the IP address of access destination, data will be sent to the
host set as the default gateway.
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device
DHCP
with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it automatically
assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.
Abbreviation of PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication
protocol extended from PPP, which is used for user authentication for
remote access. MD5, TLS, S/Key, etc. are supported as authentication
EAP
methods. This protocol is adopted by the wireless LAN authentication
standard IEEE802.1X, and available methods include EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS/
EAP-LEAP/EAP-PEAP/EAP-MD5.
Abbreviation of EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. It is
one of the wireless authentication methods compatible with IEEE802.1X.
EAP-FAST It does not require digital authentication, but establishes a tunnel for the
authentication process using a secret key cryptosystem, and authenticates
the tunnel mutually to improve security. Cisco's proprietary method.
Abbreviation of EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security. It is one of the
wireless authentication methods compatible with IEEE802.1X. It performs
EAP-TTLS mutual authentication with a digital certificate by the authentication server,
and ID/password by the client. A tunnel is established for the authentication
process. Developed by Func Software in the U.S.
Abbreviation of EAP-Generic Token Card. It is one of the wireless
GTC authentication methods compatible with IEEE802.1X. Authentication is
(EAP-GTC)
performed with ID and password. Password is acquired from a security
token.
Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address
IP ADDRESS corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP address.
The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.
Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively
LAN
narrow range such as inside a company.
Each network adapter has its own ID No.
A discrete ID No. is assigned to each and every network adapter around the
world. These IDs are used to exchange data between adapters. These IDs
MAC Address
are a combination of a discrete number managed and assigned by the IEEE
to each individual manufacturer and a unique number assigned to each
individual adapter by the manufacturer.
