Static

One of the available boot methods. Use static if your network

Method

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 computer 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 Integrity

Protocol)

TLS (Transport

Layer Security)

Changes the encryption keys regularly and has time limits before new keys are created. Changing the key periodically provides additional security.

Acryptographic protocol that uses client-side and server-side certificates to authenticate users on the Web. It can dynamically create user-based and session-based keys.

TTLS (Tunneled

Transport Layer

Security)

Provides certificate-based, server-side, mutual authentication of the client and network through an encrypted channel (or tunnel). It can dynamically create user-based and session- based keys.

Transmit Rate

See Speed.
