Appendix C: Glossary ¾ 2x to 3x eXtended Range™ WLAN Transmission Technology - The WLAN device with 2x to 3x eXtended Range™ WLAN transmission technology make its sensitivity up to 105 dB, which gives users the ability to have robust, longer-range wireless connections. With this range-enhancing technology, a 2x to 3x eXtended Range™ based client and access point can maintain a connection at as much as three times the transmission distance of traditional 802.11b and 802.11g products, for a coverage area that is up to nine times greater. A traditional 802.11b and 802.11g product transmission distance is about 300m, a 2x to 3x eXtended Range™ based client and access point can maintain a connection transmission distance may be up to 830m. ¾ 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. ¾ 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 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security. ¾ DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address. ¾ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server. ¾ DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. ¾ DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses. ¾ Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet. ¾ DoS (Denial of Service) - A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from operating or communicating. ¾ DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines. ¾ ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. ¾ MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted. ¾ NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. ¾ PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. ¾ SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name. ¾ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 100
