Router (WLAN Router)

A central network device that establishes
and manages the communication between
the network devices.
Current devices increasing combine the
function of the router with the function of an
access point
communication. These combi-devices are
often referred to as WLAN routers.
Normally, the (WLAN) router in a network
takes on the function of the gateway to the
outside world.

Server

A network device that makes data and
services available for other devices in the
network. A UPnP-AV server stores for
example, audio and video media data and
makes this data available to other devices,
the streaming clients. Often, UPnP-AV
servers also offer
cataloguing and easy identification of medial
content according to criteria such as artist,
album name, genre, etc.

SSID

Service Set Identifier / Network name. SSID
designates the identification of a radio
network that is based on IEEE 802.11. Each
WLAN has a configurable, so-called SSID or
ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier), to
identify the radio network.
The SSID character string can be up to 32
characters long. It is configured in the base
station (WLAN router / Access point) of a
wireless LAN and defined on all the clients
that should have access to it. Do not use
SSID names with blanks / special characters.

access the stored media data.
