SMC Networks SMC2482W specs

Static IP Address - A permanent IP address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network.

Subnet Mask - The method used for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups, or subnets. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets.

SSID Broadcast- For security purposes, this selection can be dis- abled, allowing only those wireless network cards with the Access Point’s SSID to communicate with the Access Point. By default, this selection is enabled, allowing all wireless network cards in your wireless network to communicate with the Access Point.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets,TCP enables two hosts to estab- lish a connection and exchange streams of data.

Transmission Rates- The basic transfer rates should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You must select 1-2 (MBps) if you have older 802.11 compliant equipment on your network, such as wireless adapters that support only 1 or 2 Mbps. Selecting 1-2 (MBps), however, does not limit the basic transfer rates of faster adapters.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - UDP is a connectionless proto- col that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network.
