Driver		A piece of software developed to interface a piece of hardware
		with its immediate upper-layer software (i.e. operating system) so
		that it can be recognized and operated.
DSSS		Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum is a modulation scheme
		employed by the 802.11b standard that uses a chipping code
		(redundant bit) during its transmission to reject interference.
Dynamic	IP	It is an IP address that is dynamically allocated or assigned to a client
Address		device within a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP server.
Encryption		Encryption is a security method applying specific algorithms to make
		sure that all the data from one computer is encoded into a form that
		only the intended party will be able to decode to view the
		information.
Ethernet		An IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is
		transmitted over a common medium. It uses CSMA/CD, which stands
		for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. It has a
		defined data rate of 10Mbps.
Fast Ethernet		An IEEE standard extended from 10Base-T Ethernet to support
		100Mbps data rate.
Firewall		It is a software layer that controls network access from within and
		without so that undesired activity by malicious or snooping parties
		may be prevented.
Firmware		It is a software code written and saved within the read-only memory
		(ROM) of the device so that it is retained even when the device is
		powered off.
FTP		File Transfer Protocol. It is a protocol designed to transfer files over a
		TCP/IP network.
Full Duplex		It defines the ability of a device to transmit data simultaneously in
		both upstream and downstream directions over a single line.
Half Duplex		It defines the ability of a device to transmit in one direction at a time
		over a single line.
HTTP		HyperText Transport Protocol is a common protocol used to connect
		servers on the World Wide Web, with its primary function being to
		establish a connection with a web server and transmit HTML pages to
		the client’s browser.
ICMP		Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and error
		reporting protocol between a host server and a router to the Internet.
		ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are
		processed by the IP software and are not directly apparent to the
		application user.
IGMP		Internet Group Management Protocol is the standard for IP
		multicasting on the Internet. It is used to establish host memberships in
		particular multicast groups on a single network. The mechanisms of
