	wireless network setup

802.11b	A wireless networking protocol that applies to wireless LANS
	and provides 11 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band
	whenever possible. If signal strength or interference is
	disrupting data, the transmission rate drops back to 5.5
	Mbps, then 2 Mbps and finally down to 1 Mbps. Though the
	transmission rate might occasionally slow down, it keeps
	your wireless network stable and reliable. 802.11b allows
	wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.

802.11g	802.11g broadens 802.11b’s data rates to 54 Mbps within
	the 2.4 GHz band. An 802.11b radio card, however, can
	communicate directly with an 802.11g access point (and
	vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range.
	The range at 54 Mbps is less than existing 802.11b access
	points operating at 11 Mbps. To allow a higher data rate,
	move the 802.11g access points closer together and include
	additional ones where needed.
	Note: If you are connecting your HP PSC to an
	802.11g network, and you want to maximize
	throughput, use an Ethernet (wired) connection.
	Otherwise connect wirelessly, but expect to see slower
	throughput.

Ad-hoc mode	An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or
	stations communicate directly with each other, without the
	use of an access point (i.e., a router or gateway). Ad-hoc
	mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode, where each
	client talks directly to the destination without going through a
	centralized location (like an access point). On a Macintosh
	network, ad-hoc is referred to as computer-to-computer
	mode.

AiO	HP All-in-One or multifunction unit. An AiO unit consists of a
	printer, scanner, fax, copier, and photodevice contained
	within one device.

Apple Open	A set of Macintosh networking protocols used to configure
Transport	network services. Apple Open Transport supports both the
	legacy AppleTalk protocols and TCP/IP protocols. A
	Macintosh running Apple Open Transport in TCP/IP mode
	can be a DHCP client to a Microsoft Windows server.
