23. Glossary Access Point (AP), Wireless AP Also known as a base station, this is an electronic device that functions as an interface for wireless communications devices. End devices make a radio connection to the wireless access point via a wireless adapter. - Page 56 DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A protocol to assign an IP address to devices in the network. Dynamic addresses give the device a different IP address each time it connects to a network. In some systems, the IP address changes automatically while the device is connected.
- Page 57 base stations to the same network, they need to be set to the same SSID; this is then known as an ESSID (extended SSID). Gateway The standard gateway is provided by the computer/ router in the network in which all queries are made which have no address in the local network (queries in the Internet).
- Page 58 Passphrase Key The network key that is used for authentication on a WEP/ WPA2 encrypted network. Registrar The device that publishes and withdraws WPS permissions within a network. A registrar can be integrated into a wireless access point or be separate from the access point (AP).
