S
Proxim's ScanTool is a software utility that runs on Microsoft Windows
machine. By using ScanTool, you can
•
Scan devices (Proxim devices only) available on the network
•
Obtain device's IP address
•
Modify device's IP Configuration parameters (IP Address, Address
Type, Gateway and so on)
•
Launch the Web interface
•
Switch between the network adapters, if there are multiple network
adapters in the Personal Computer
A protocol used for the communication between a network management
application and the devices it is managing. The network management
application is called the SNMP manager and the devices it manages will
have SNMP agents. Not only the unit but also almost every network device
contains a SNMP agent. The manageable objects of a device are arranged
in a Management Information Base, also called MIB. The Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) allows managers and agents to
communicate for accessing these objects.
Single-band refers to a device's ability to function only on one frequency
band.
T
The TCP/IP internet-suite protocol describes a set of general design
guidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols to
enable computers to communicate over a network. TCP/IP provides
end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted,
addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination.
Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to
access the command-line interface, on a remote host. Most network
equipment and operating systems with a TCP/IP stack support a Telnet
service for remote configuration.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a lightweight protocol for transferring
files that is like a simple form of File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A TFTP client is
implemented on the unit. By using the upload and download commands,
the unit can copy a file to or from a TFTP server.
V
The Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) feature helps in logical grouping of
network host on different physical LAN segments, which can
communicate with each other as if they are all on the same physical LAN
segment.
