Using your camera with a Wi-Fi wireless network
Encryption key—An alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers) series that enables
data to be encrypted then decrypted so it can be safely shared among members of a
network. WEP uses an encryption key that automatically encrypts outgoing wireless
data. On the receiving side, the same encryption key enables the computer to
automatically decrypt the information so it can be read.
Infrastructure—A client setting providing connectivity to an access point. As
compared to Ad Hoc mode, whereby PCs communicate directly with each other,
clients set in Infrastructure Mode all pass data through a central access point. The
access point not only mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate
neighborhood, but also provides communication with the wired network.
IP—Internet Protocol: technology that supports voice, data and video transmission
via IP-based local area networks, wide area networks, and the Internet. This includes
VoIP (Voice over IP).
IP address—A number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is
sent across the Internet.
Network name—Identifies the wireless network for all the shared components.
During the installation process for most wireless networks, you need to enter the
network name or SSID. Different network names are used when setting up your
individual computer, wired network or workgroup.
Router—A access point (AP) or device that sends data from one local area network
(LAN) or wide area network (WAN) to another. A router monitors and controls data
flow and sends information using the most efficient route based on traffic load, line
costs, speed, bad connections, etc.
SSID—Service Set Identifier: also referred to as a network name, since it is essentially
a name that identifies a wireless network. The identifier is attached to the a wireless
local area network (WLAN) and acts as a password when a mobile device tries to
connect to the system. A device will not be permitted to join the network unless it can
provide the unique SSID. An SSID can be broadcast by the network router, allowing
devices to detect it as an available network. An SSID does not supply security to the
network.
