SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID
are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In
SNMP, agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the various
devices on the network and report to the network console workstation. Control information
about each device is maintained in a structure known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP
address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a
Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and
logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advance Research Project Agency (ARPA). It is
widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its superior design for WANs. TCP
governs how packer is sequenced for transmission the network. The term "TCP/IP" is often
used generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit/ Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services and/or fiber
optic cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world.
WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the
level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1x
authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. To strengthen
data encryption, WPA utilizes its Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP provides
important data encryption enhancements that include a per-packet key mixing function, a
message integrity check (MIC) named Michael an extended initialization vector (IV) with
sequencing rules, and a also re-keying mechanism. Using these improvement enhancements,
TKIP protects against WEP's known weaknesses.
