IEEE – Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a professional society that promotes
the development of standards.
Infrastructure Network – One or more computers or other devices, each with a wireless
adapter, connected to an Access Point. An infrastructure wireless network connected to a wired
network is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). A set of two or more BSS in a single network
is referred to as an Extended Service Set (ESS).
ISM Band – Industrial, Scientific and Medical Band operates in the frequency band 2.4 and 2.48
GHz. It is the only unlicensed band approved worldwide.
LAN – A group of computers and other peripheral devices connected to share resources
through wired or wireless technology, within a small geographic area.
Protocol – A standard set of rules for exchanging information (format, timing, sequencing, error
checking, etc.) between computers or network devices.
Roaming – In infrastructure mode, this refers to a computer moving out of the range of one
Access Point and connecting transparently to a new Access Point.
SSID – Service Set Identifier is a unique network identification name. All client devices and
Access Points that share the same SSID are able to communicate with each other.
Static IP Addressing – A permanent or manually assigned IP address. Once a static IP adress is
assigned, a computer or network device will use the same IP address every time it reboots and
logs on to the nework, unless manually changed.
TKIP – Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for
wireless LANs. TKEP is the next generation of WEP (Wired Equivalency Protocol), which is used
to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per‐packet key mixing, a message integrity check
and a re‐keying mechanism.
WEP – Wired Equivalent Privacy mechansim is based on a 64, 128 or 256 bit algorithm.
WPA – Wi‐Fi Protected Access was created by the Wi‐Fi Alliance as a data encryption method
for 802.11 wireless LANs. WPA is an industry‐supported, pre‐standard version of 802.11i
utilizing TKIP.
WLAN – Wireless Local Area Network is a group of computers and associated devices that
communicate with each other wirelessly.
