RAM Module
A printed circuit card with memory and associated circuitry which allows the user to add additional
memory to the computer without special tools.
Resume
To proceed after interruption. In your notebook this refers to returning to active operation after having
been in one of the suspension states.
SDRAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Serial Port
A connection to another device through which data is transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with
any other wires only for control of the device not for transfer of data.
Shared key authentication
802.11 network authentication method in which the AP sends the client device a challenge text packet that
the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key
or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key
authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the
same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the key.
SSID
Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a
WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates
one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN
must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique
SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network.
