Page 6: Chapter 2 - Wireless Lan Basics
T-316 User’s Guide Chapter 2 – Wireless LAN Basics Wireless LAN (Local Area Networks) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional, wired systems. Wireless LANs (WLANs) are more flexible, easier to set up and manage and often more cost effective than their wired equivalents. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data using only the air as a medium, minimizing the need for wired connections. -

Page 19: Chapter 6 - Glossary
T-316 User’s Guide Chapter 6 – Glossary 802.11: 802.11 is a family of specifications for wireless local area networks (WLANs) developed by a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The original specification provides for an Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) and several physical layer (PHY) options, the most popular of which uses GFSK modulation at 2.4GHz, enabling data rates of 1 or 2Mbps. - Page 20 T-316 User’s Guide IP: The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.
- Page 21 T-316 User’s Guide SNMP is described formally in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comment (RFC) 1157 and in a number of other related RFCs. SSL: The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet.
- Page 22 T-316 User’s Guide Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi is short for wireless fidelity and is another name for IEEE 802.11b. It is a trade term promulgated by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA). "Wi-Fi" is used in place of 802.11b in the same way that "Ethernet" is used in place of IEEE 802.3. Products certified as Wi-Fi by WECA are interoperable with each other even if they are from different manufacturers.
