Using your camera with a Wi-Fi wireless network Glossary of common wireless terms Access point-(Also called AP.) A wireless network transceiver or "base station" that can connect a wired local area network to one or many wireless devices. Access points can also bridge to each other. Ad Hoc-A client setting that provides independent device-to-device connectivity in a wireless local area network. An alternative set-up is one where PCs communicate with each other through an access point. Bridge-A product that connects a local area network to another local area network that uses the same protocol (for example, wireless, Ethernet or token ring). Wireless bridges are commonly used to link buildings in campuses. Client-An application on a computer or device connected to a network that requests services (files, print capability) from another member of the network. DHCP-Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: a utility that enables a server to dynamically assign IP addresses from a predefined list and limit their time of use so they can be reassigned. Without DHCP, an IT Manager would have to manually enter in all the IP addresses of all the clients on the network. With DHCP, whenever a client logs onto the network, it automatically gets an IP address assigned to it. DNS-Domain Name System (or Service, or Server): a program that translates URLs to IP addresses by accessing a database maintained on a collection of Internet servers. The program works behind the scenes to facilitate surfing the Web with alpha versus numeric addresses. A DNS server converts a name like mywebsite.com to a series of numbers like 107.22.55.26. Every Web site has its own specific IP address on the Internet. DSL-Digital Subscriber Lines: various technology protocols for high-speed data, voice and video transmission over ordinary twisted-pair copper POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) telephone wires. www.kodak.com/go/support 48
