Glossary

Access Point (Infrastructure) Network mode

A method of building a wireless network using one or more Access Points. For details, see “Capabilities” on page 5.

Channel

A part of the frequency spectrum to be used for wireless communication.

Only client computers and Access Points set to the same channel can communicate with each other.

Client

A computer connected to a LAN (Local Area Network). Also may be called a client computer.

DHCP (Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol)

DHCP lets network administrators centrally manage and automate assignment of client computer IP addresses.

DNS (Domain Name System)

A system that translates host names into IP addresses.

Networks that use the TCP/IP protocol, such as the Internet, use a set of numbers like 192.168.0.1 (IP address) to identify a computer. However, since the IP address is hard to memorize, DNS was developed to allow a name like “www.sony.com” to identify a computer for convenience. DNS servers manage these translations from host names into IP addresses.
