By default the L-5500 radio modem uses the 192.168.1.x address range.
The process of activating a unit for the first time on a cellular carrier's
network. You must have a service contract in place with the carrier prior to
provisioning your device.
Service Set Identifier. This is a name used to identify a WiFi wireless network.
A range of addresses assigned to a LAN.
All devices connected in an L-5500 network must be on the same subnet as
the L-5500 radio modems.
Binary string that separates the subnet portion of an IP address and the host
portion.
"Temporal Key Integrity Protocol" is an encryption method used by the WiFi
interface when operating in WPA mode. TKIP was designed to solve security
issues in WEP (it is considered stronger then WEP).
"Advanced Encryption Standard" is the encryption protocol used by the WiFi
interface when it operates in WPA2 mode.
Wide Area Network, a public network. The Internet is an example of a WAN.
Wired Equivalent Privacy. This is an IEEE security protocol for wireless 802.11
networks. It is an encryption method used by the WiFi interface.
Wireless Fidelity is an IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs
 802.11b is a standard for operating at 2.4 GHz frequency with
data rates up to 11 Mbps
 802.11g is a standard for operating at 2.4 GHz frequency with
data rates up to 54 Mbps
An L-5500 unit can operate in 802.11 AP mode. It can communicate with
other devices operating in 802.11 client mode.
AN L-5500 unit can operate in 802.11 Infrastructure mode. In this mode it is
a WiFi client and will try to connect to a WiFi access point.
Wireless Local Area Network, a private network. Refers to the network
covered by the WiFi interface.
"WiFi Protected Access" is a subset of 802.11i (security mechanisms for
wireless networks).
"WiFi Protected Access 2" is the complete version of 802.11i.
