Glossary 10BASE-T 100BASE-Tx 802.11b 802.11g 802.11x Access Control List (ACL) Ad-hoc Mode IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz. IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz. 802.1x defines port-based, network access control used to provide authenticated network access and automated data encryption key management. The IEEE 802.1x draft standard offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user traffic to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys. 802.1x uses a protocol called EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) and supports multiple authentication methods, such as token cards, Kerberos, one-time passwords, certificates, and public key authentication. For details on EAP specifically, refer to IETF's RFC 2284. 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). 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 Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line See Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line A technology for sending data over regular telephone lines. ADSL allows data rates up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream. Glossary 1
