Technical glossary

Access point (AP) — An access point is a network component that WLAN clients (terminal de- vices) connect to in order to exchange data with the Internet or other clients. It is identified via its SSID. The NOXON can connect with an AP in order to obtain files from computers in the local network or audio streams from the Internet.

Ad hoc network — Ad hoc network (ad hoc: Latin, literally “for this purpose”) refers to a wire- less network topology between two or more mobile devices without a fixed infrastructure. An access point is not required. The NOXON can also be used in ad hoc mode. You merely need a local computer with a WLAN adapter and your NOXON.

DHCP — The abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol permits IP addresses and configuration parameters to be allocated to computers dynamically. DHCP permits the integration of additional network components without configuration. The NOXON configuration wizard supports DHCP, so no further configuration parameters need to be speci- fied.

IEEE 802.11b/ IEEE 802.11g — Industry standards for wireless networks issued by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The b standard refers to a maximum bandwidth of 11 Mbps, whereas g supports 54 Mbps. Our NOXON supports both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g networks.

IP (IP address) — (Internet Protocol) refers to a common communication protocol for computer networks. Each client has its own IP address consisting of four groups of digits separated by dots (e.g. 127.80.1.34). IP addresses are allocated automatically when using DHCP. The IP address can also be entered manually if the NOXON is not configured via DHCP.

LAN — A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network in a limited geographical area. Not only computers in the WLAN, but also those in a LAN linked to the WLAN via a router can be used as servers for the NOXON.

MAC address — (Media Access Control address) is the hardware address that serves as a unique identifier for every hardware component in a network. The MAC address is fixed and can not be modified. As the NOXON is a network component, it also has a fixed MAC address. It can be found on the back of the device.

Peer-to-peer connection (P2P) — This describes communication among devices of an equal rank. All partners have the same status and identical functions. In an ad hoc network, the NOXON and your local PC represent a P2P connection.

Proxy server — A proxy server stores static Web content so that it does not need to be downloaded again the next time the page is requested. If you have a proxy server in your sys- tem, enter its settings in the NOXON to prevent any complications.

Router — A router is a piece of communication hardware that ensures that data packets sent through a network arrive at the correct destination computer (client). In many cases, routers interconnect networks such as LANs and WLANs. The NOXON is also a client that receives data packets in this manner.
