Page 14: Basic Ip Networking
IP N ASIC ETWORKING IP = Internet Protocol IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For example: 192.168.10.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a PC or Router: Static and Automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed-in manually, while Dynamic IP’s are distributed by a DHCP Server. - Page 15 SSID The SSID is the “network name” for the WLAN network. The SSID is any name, and can be any set of characters or numbers. The Client sniffs the radio frequencies for an AP with the same SSID with itself. The client locks onto the AP and they are “associated”.
