IEEE 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. ¾ IEEE 802.11g - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 8021b devices, and WEP encryption for security. ¾ Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or other devices, each with a wireless adapter, connected as an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. In infrastructure mode, the wireless devices communicate with each other and to a wired network by first going through 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). Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale, or when it is necessary to connect the wired and wireless networks. ¾ IP Address - The address used to identify a computer or device on a network. ¾ IPoA (IP and ARP over ATM) - A protocol that provides extensions to the IP Group for handling IP over ATM flows. ¾ ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. ¾ LAN - The computers and networking products that make up your local network. ¾ MAC (Media Access Control) Address - The unique address that a manufacturer assigns to each networking device. ¾ NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. ¾ MER (MAC Encapsulation Routing) - MER allows IP packet to be carried as bridged frames. There are many applications, such as IPoA, DSL networks and other frame-based network. Depending on your equipment, they can be either bridged or routed within the network. 85
