300Mbps Wireless Access Point
Appendix I: Glossary
Access Point (AP): Any entity that has station functionality and
provides access to the distribution services, via the
wireless medium (WM) for associated stations.
Channel: An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing
protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously,
in the same volume of space, with other instances of medium
use(on other channels) by other instances of the same
physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error
ratio(FER) due to mutual interference.
SSID: Service Set identifier. An SSID is the network name shared
by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s SSID
should be unique to your network and identical for all devices
within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
20 characters (use any of the characters on the
keyboard).Make sure this setting is the same for all devices
in your wireless network.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure
wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to
every single packet transmitted in the wireless network. The
40bit and 64bit encryption are the same because of out 64
bits, 40 bits are private. Conversely, 104 and 128 bit are the
same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the
data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use
the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2
methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a 16-bit HEX
