Appendix A: Glossary

10BaseT

The most common cabling method for Ethernet. 10BaseT conforms to IEEE standard 802.3. It was developed to enable data communications over unshielded twisted pair (telephone) wiring at speeds of up to 10 megabits per second up to distances of approximately 330 feet on a network segment.

802.11

A group of wireless networking standards, also known as Wi-Fi, set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

802.1X

A standard for port-based authentication, first used in wired networks, that was adapted for use in enterprise WLANs to address security flaws in WEP, the original security specification for 802.11 networks. 802.1X provides a framework for authenticating users and controlling their access to a protected network and dynamic encryption keys to protect data privacy.

Access Point

An Access Point is a wired controller that sends data to the wireless NIC’s installed in your network computers, and received data back from them. An Access Point is often connected to the network computer that has Internet access, or is directly connected to an ADSL or cable modem.

Ad-Hoc mode

An old term used to describe a device-to-device network. (See device-to-device network, peer-to-peer network).

ADSL

Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a new modem technology that converts existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for high-speed communication of various sorts.

AES

Advanced Encryption Standard. The preferred standard for the encryption of commercial and government data using a symmetric block data encryption technique. It is used in the implementation of WPA2.

Auto-MDI/MDIX

On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port automatically senses if it needs to act as a MDI or MDIX port. The auto- MDI/MDIX capability eliminates the need for crossover cables.

Auto-negotiate

To automatically determine the correct setting. The term is often used with communications and networking.

Bridge

A wireless device that connects multiple networks together.

BSSID

Basic Service Set Identifier. A unique address that identifies the access point/router that creates the wireless network.

Channel

One portion of the available radio spectrum that all devices on a wireless network use to communicate. Changing the channel on the access point/router can help reduce interference.

Client

Any computer connected to a network that requests files and services (files, print capability) from the server or other devices on the network. The term also refers to end users.
