User's Guide for the WG602 v3 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point A Access Control List An ACL is a database that an Operating System uses to track each user's access rights to system objects (such as file directories and/or files). ACL See "Access Control List" Ad-hoc Mode An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other, without the use of an access point (AP). Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. ADSL Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world gain access. B Bandwidth The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel could transmit. Bandwidth examples include 10 Mbps for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet, and 1000 Mbps (I Gbps) for Gigabit Ethernet. Baud The signaling rate of a line, that is, the number of transitions (voltage or frequency changes) made per second. Also known as line speed. Broadcast A packet sent to all devices on a network. 2 Glossary 202-10060-01, September 2004
