transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks.
PCMCIA
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. Also a PCMCIA card is also referred
to CardBus Adapter.
SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID are
able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In SNMP,
agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the various devices on
the network and report to the network console workstation. Control information about each
device is maintained in a structure known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP address,
the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a Static IP
address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to
the network, unless it is manually changed.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). It is
widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its superior design for WANs. TCP governs
how packet is sequenced for transmission the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often used
generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit / Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services and / or fiber optic
cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world.
