Page 34: Glossary
What is Infrastructure? An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. What is Roaming? Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single Wireless Network Access Point. - Page 35 specific IP addresses so that users cannot connect to those addresses. FIREWALL Firewalls are methods used to keep networks secure from malicious intruders and unauthorized access. Firewalls use filters to prevent unwanted packets from being transmitted. Firewalls are typically used to provide secure access to the Internet while keeping an organization's public Web server separate from the internal LAN.
- Page 36 LANs (Local Area Networks) are networks that serve users within specific geographical areas, such as in a company building. LANs are comprised of servers, workstations, a network operating system, and communications links such as the router. MAC ADDRESS A MAC address is a unique serial number burned into hardware adapters, giving the adapter a unique identification.
- Page 37 between roaming wireless enabled devices and access points. PROTOCOL A protocol is a rule that governs the communication of data. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a routing protocol that is integrated in the TCP/IP protocol. RIP finds a route that is based on the smallest number of hops between the source of a packet and its destination.

TELNET Telnet is a terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP- or IP-based networks. Telnet is used for connecting to remote devices and running programs. Telnet is an integral component of the TCP/IP communications protocol.
