Appendix C: Specifications - Linksys WUSB11 User Manual

Since October 1996, the Windows operating systems have been equipped with
USB driver or special software designed to work with specific I/O device types.
USB is integrated into Windows 98. Today, most new computers and peripher-
al devices are equipped with USB.
A different "plug-and-play" standard, FireWire/IEEE 1394, is designed to sup-
port much higher data rates and devices such as video camcorders and DVD
(digital video disk or digital versatile disk) players. Both standards are expect-
ed to exist together, serving different device types.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-
bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11b standard.
WINIPCFG - Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying,
defining and managing IP addresses within a network. A commonly used util-
ity under Windows 95, 98, and Me.
