GLOSSARY "

Single Frequency

If a wireless station is using a single frequency, it operates on the selected frequency in a list of frequencies. The de- fault is the first frequency in the list.

Subnet

A subnet is a single member of the collection of hardware networks that compose an IP network. Host addresses on a given subnet share an IP network number with hosts on all other subnets of that IP network.

The local address part is divided into subnet number and hostnumber fields to indicate which subnet a host is on. A particular division of the local address part is not assumed; this could vary from network to network.

Unicast Address

A unicast address is a unique Ethernet address assigned to a single station on the network.

Wireless Hops

A wireless hop is a wireless connection to an open wireless LAN. For the access point, a wireless hop means connect- ing to the open wireless LAN spanning tree through its RF port instead of its Ethernet port. The major advantage of using a wireless connection to the LAN is that it reduces, and sometimes even eliminates, the requirements for LAN cabling.
