Terminology

●Encryption mode

Setting for encrypting the flow of data during wireless communication.

Following settings are available:

None (Open System): No encryption. Setting will be unavailable and throughput will be improved. However, there is the risk of infor-

 

mation leakage.

40blt WEP:

Encryption is performed using 40-blt encryption key.

128blt:

Encryption is performed using 104-blt + 24-blt (1V) keys. Although throughput will decline compared to Open

 

System, security of data will be improved.

●Access point (wireless LAN)

Relay point for infrastructure communication. It can also serve as the relay point for cable LAN or wireless LAN.

●ASF (Advanced Streaming Format)

Data streaming format developed by Microsoft Corporation (U.S.) for transmission of video and audio.

●Host name

Name of a device (not limited to a computer but all connection devices with an IP address) on a network.

●Port number

Number used for detecting applications and service during TCP/IP communication.

●TCP/IP

Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and is one of the protocols used during network connection.

●UDP

Different from TCP, UDP is a low-level protocol that does not perform receive checks. In some cases, missing and distorted images may occur due to packet loss.
