A service allowing wireless client stations to exchange data with an existing 10BaseT hard- wired Ethernet Network.

Software at the device being controlled. The agent monitors the status of objects in an information base called the MIB. The agent can be programmed to act on status changes and send notification messages, called Traps, to designated IP Addresses called Trap communities.

The agent can also take instructions from a remote manager to make changes to objects in the MIB. For example, the manager might instruct the agent to change the system date and time.

A wireless 10Mbps computer that receives and originates Ethernet data. Client stations may exchange data directly and/or send to other hard-wired network devices by using an access point service.

A protocol software that manages and tracks the assignment and use of static and dynamic IP Addresses to devices attempting to connect to a network.
