ESSID (Extended Service Set Identity)

A server that contains both the English and numerical addresses of all computers connected to the Internet. When you specify an e-mail or IP address using the “English” domain name, the DNS server will return the corresponding numeric address.

A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet.

A program that a computer uses to control the operation of a peripheral device, such as a keyboard, modem, monitor, card, or cable.

A digital modulation technique that spreads data transmissions across the entire available frequency band in a pre-arranged scheme. Under DSSS, each bit of data to be transmitted is encoded with a redundant pattern called a chip. The chipping code is known only to the sending and receiving clients, making it difficult for an intruder to intercept and decipher the encoded wireless data. DSSS is used in IEEE 802.11b networks.

See DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

A procedure to convert a file from its original form to one that can be read only by the intended recipient.

A group of wireless clients and multiple APs using the same ID (ESSID) form an ESS.

An ASCII string that is used by a wireless network. Wireless clients with a different ESSID from your network’s ESSID cannot connect to your network. An ESSID can be as long as 32 characters.
