Instant Wireless® Series
VPN (Virtual Private Network) - A technique that allows two or more LANs to be extended over public communication channels by creating private commu- nication subchannels (tunnels). Effectively, these LANs can use a WAN as a single large "virtually private" LAN. This removes the need to use leased lines for WAN communications through secure use of a publicly available WAN (such as the Internet). Examples of VPN technology are: PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), and IPSec (Internet Protocol Security).
WAN (Wide Area Network)- A communications network that covers a rela- tively large geographic area, consisting of two or more LANs. Broadband com- munication over the WAN is often through public networks such as the tele- phone (DSL) or cable systems, or through leased lines or satellites. In its most basic definition, the Internet could be considered a WAN.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64- bit or
WINIPCFG - Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying, defining and managing IP addresses within a network. A commonly used util- ity for configuring networks with static IP addresses.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associat- ed devices that communicate with each other wirelessly.
