USB

Universal Serial Bus is a computer interface for add-on devices such as printers, scanners, mice, modems, or keyboards. USB

1.1supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps and plug-and-play installation. You can connect up to 127 devices to a single USB port. USB 2.0 supports data rates of 480 Mbps.

V

VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol is a method to exchange voice, fax, and other information over the Internet. Voice and fax have traditionally been carried over traditional telephone lines of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using a dedicated circuit for each line. VoIP enables calls to travel as discrete data packets on shared lines. VoIP is an important part of the convergence of computers, telephones, and television into a single integrated information network.

VPN

A virtual private network is a private network that uses “virtual” connections (tunnels) routed over a public network (usually the Internet) to provide a secure and fast connection; usually to users working remotely at home or in small branch offices. A VPN connection provides security and performance similar to a dedicated link (for example, a leased line), but at much lower cost.

W

WAN

A wide-area network provides a connection over a large geographic area, such as a country or the whole world. The bandwidth depends on need and cost, but is usually much lower than for a LAN.

WAP

Wireless Access Point or Wireless Access Protocol. See also

Access Point.

WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption protects the privacy of data transmitted over a wireless LAN. WEP uses keys to encrypt and decrypt transmitted data. The access point must authenticate a client before it can transfer data to another client. WEP is part of IEEE 802.11b.

Wi-Fi®

Wireless fidelity (pronounced why'-fy) brand name applied to products supporting IEEE 802.11b/g.
