EZ CONNECT™ 802.11A WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

Ethernet – A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from computers and terminals. Ethernet operates on a 10 Mbps base band transmission rate, using a shielded coaxial cable or over shielded twisted pair telephone wire.

Infrastructure – An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration.

Roaming – A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and maintains a continuous connection to the Infrastructure network.

RTS Threshold – Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.

WEP – “Wired Equivalent Privacy” is based on the use of 64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network traffic.
