Channel or

You can select which channel your network devices use to

RF Channel

communicate. All devices must be on the same channel to

 

communicate in Ad-Hoc mode. Other radio devices such

 

as Bluetooth® wireless devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4-

 

GHz cordless phones may operate/interfere if they are on

 

the same channel as your network.

DHCP or

One of the available boot methods. It is a protocol that

Dynamic Host

issues IP addresses automatically within a specified range

Configuration

to devices (such as printers) when they are first turned on.

Protocol

The device keeps the IP address for a defined period of

 

time set by your System Administrator; however, a device

 

could have a different IP address every time it connects to

 

the network.

EAP (Extensible

Defines how to pass authentication information between

Authentication

the device and authentication server. The authentication

Protocol)

is handled by the EAP type: FAST, TLS, TTLS, etc.

FAST (Flexible

Cisco Systems® developed this authentication protocol. It

Authentication via

does not use certificates to authenticate, but a PAC

Secure Tunneling)

(Protected Access Credential), which is managed

 

dynamically by the server. The PAC is distributed one at

 

a time to the client manually or automatically.

Gateway

Allows connections (communications) between different

 

subnets on a network.

Infrastructure

Requires an access point to communicate with other

Mode

devices on the network. In infrastructure mode, wireless

 

devices can communicate with each other or with a wired

 

network.

IP Address

An Internet Protocol identifier for a device on a network.

 

It consists of four 3-digit numeric fields, separated by

 

periods. Each number can be zero to 255. An IP address

 

has two components, the network address and the host

 

address. Most company networks have ranges for their IP

 

addresses.

LAN or

A computer network that connects personal computers,

Local Area

workstations, servers, and printers. This allows each user

Network

on the network the ability to share devices, such as

 

printers, and communicate with each other via email, etc.

 

LANs can be connected to each other by telephone lines

 

or radio waves. See WLAN.

LEAP (Lightweight

Cisco Systems® introduced this authentication protocol

Extensible

and provides mutual authentication with unique WEP keys

Authentication

for each user. New keys are issued based on a time limit.

Protocol)

Changing the WEP key time limits provides additional

 

security.
