Paxar 9825 operating instructions Glossary G-5

SSID or	A unique identifier that must match for all nodes on a
Service Set	subnetwork to communicate with each other. It consists of
Identifier	up to 32 characters (any printable character, including
	spaces). If using the space character, it must be enclosed
	in quotation marks. It is case-sensitive.
Static	One of the available boot methods. Use static if your
Method	network uses fixed configuration. The IP address remains
	the same every time the device connects to the network.
Subnet	A portion of a network that shares a common address
	component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are all devices
	with the same prefix. For example, all devices that start
	with 192.192.192 are part of the same subnet. Dividing a
	network into subnets is useful for both security and
	performance reasons.
Subnet Mask	A mask is used to determine what subnet an IP address
	belongs to. Companies often have ranges of IP addresses
	that can be described by one or more masks. For example,
	a mask of 255.255.255.0 allows variation in the last
	position only, because the first three positions are fixed.
Telnet	A Terminal Emulation program for TCP/IP networks that
	runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on
	the network. You enter commands through the Telnet
	program and they run as if you were entering them directly
	on the server console.
TCP/IP	A way that two devices can transmit data between each
	other. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet
	Protocol) is generally the standard for transmitting data
	over a network.
TKIP (Temporal Key	Changes the encryption keys regularly and has time limits
Integrity Protocol)	before new keys are created. Changing the key
	periodically provides additional security.
TLS (Transport	A cryptographic protocol that uses client-side and server-
Layer Security)	side certificates to authenticate users on the Web. It can
	dynamically create user-based and session-based keys.
TTLS (Tunneled	Provides certificate-based, server-side, mutual
Transport Layer	authentication of the client and network through an
Security)	encrypted channel (or tunnel). It can dynamically create
	user-based and session-based keys.
Transmit Rate	See Speed.
