Terminology
802.11 AD-HOC (Peer to Peer) mode
This is the mode in which computers communicate with each other directly, rather than
via access points.
Access point
These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between computers in a
wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an access point, it can communicate
through the network connected to the access point.
DHCP
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function automatically
assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device with the DHCP server
function is present within a LAN, it automatically assigns IP addresses to the
connected equipment.
Gateway
This is a relay point for connecting different networks.
This refers to the hardware and software used when connecting a network with a
network that uses a different protocol, etc. It adjusts the protocol and other differences
between networks to allow connection with other networks.
Infrastructure mode
This is the mode in which communications are performed via the access point.
IP address
Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address corresponding
to the data distribution destination is called the IP address. The same IP address
cannot be used within the same LAN.
LAN
Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively narrow range
such as inside a company. There are wired LAN and wireless LAN.
Open System
This is an authentication of wireless signals employing a public key cryptosystem.
