Glossary L Lightweight access An access point operating in the Cisco Centralized Wireless LAN Architecture point with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. LWAPP Lightweight Access Point Protocol. An Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol used in the Cisco Centralized Wireless LAN Architecture. M MAC modulation multipath multicast packet Media Access Control address. A unique 48-bit number used in Ethernet data packets to identify an Ethernet device, such as an access point or your client adapter. Any of several techniques for combining user information with a transmitter's carrier signal. The echoes created as a radio signal bounces off of physical objects. A single data message (packet) sent to multiple addresses. O omni-directional This typically refers to a primarily circular antenna radiation pattern. Orthogonal A modulation technique used by IEEE 802.11a-compliant wireless LANs for Frequency Division transmission at 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps. Multiplex (OFDM) P packet A basic message unit for communication across a network. A packet usually includes routing information, data, and sometimes error detection information. Q Quadruple Phase Shift Keying A modulation technique used by IEEE 802.11b-compliant wireless LANs for transmission at 2 Mbps.
