11Mbps Wireless LNA Access Point User's Manual
configured from a total of six bytes as follows: A vendor code comprising the lead three bytes
and a 3-byte user code. The vendor code is managed and assigned by IEEE. The user code
is managed using a unique (unduplicated) number from the network card manufacturer. That
is, the MAC address is assigned as a physical address unique throughout the world. In an
Ethernet LAN, the MAC address is used as a base to create a frame for sending and
receiving.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP is a protocol equivalent to the network and transport levels of the OSI reference
model, and it is defined using RFC. Consequently, different terminals can communicate with
each other using TCP/IP.
• Normally, TCP/IP includes the application protocols TELNET and FTP.
• TCP/IP is the standard internet protocol.
WEP (Encryption)
By setting an encryption key in the Access Point, you can prevent wireless packets from
being decrypted externally.
When connecting to the Access Point with the encryption key you must enter the encryption
key from the AP Manager.
Firmware
Firmware is the name given to the software (programs) built into hardware such as the router,
modem, and terminal adapter. This software is built into the hardware, so it can be said to be
in-between hardware and software.
Protocol
Protocols are the procedures and regulations for sending and receiving data between the
network terminals. For example, if two computers are communicating, you can send the
correct information according to the regulations by formatting all required information. The
protocol such as which terminal sends first, what type of message, what type of message the
receiving terminal should send in reply, the data format, and responses to communications
errors are same of examples.
Roaming Function
If using the roaming function and moving from one room to another room, you can switch the
Access Point automatically. With the roaming function, you can easily move from the office
to the conference room while maintaining access to the network
