be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It

corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.

Network Name and ESSID.

Segment

A section of a LAN that is connected to the rest of the network using a switch, bridge, or repeater.

Subnet Mask

Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local

to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.

T

TCP/IP

The main internetworking protocols used in the Internet. The Internet Protocol (IP) used in conjunction with

the Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) form TCP/IP.

U

Universal Plug and Play

UPnP. A networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking technology. UPnP

compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses with a seamless way to participate

in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer services.

UTP

Unshielded twisted pair is the cable used by 10BASE-T and 100BASE-Tx Ethernet networks.

W

WAN

See “Wide Area Network”

Web

Also known as World-Wide Web (WWW) or W3. An Internet client-server system to distribute information,

based upon the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).

WEB Proxy Server

A Web proxy server is a specialized HTTP server that allows clients access to the Internet from behind a

firewall. The proxy server listens for requests from clients within the firewall and forwards these requests to

remote Internet servers outside the firewall. The proxy server reads responses from the external servers and

then sends them to internal client clients.

WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy is a data encryption protocol for 802.11b wireless networks.

All wireless nodes and access points on the network are configured with a 64-bit or 128-bit Shared Key for

data encryption.

Wide Area Network

A WAN is a computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN consists of

two or more local-area networks (LANs).

Wi-Fi

A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility

Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group promoting interoperability among

802.11b devices.

Windows Internet Naming Service

WINS. Windows Internet Naming Service is a server process for resolving Windows-based computer names

to IP addresses.

If a remote network contains a WINS server, your Windows PCs can gather information from that WINS

server about its local hosts. This allows your PCs to browse that remote network using the Windows

Network Neighborhood feature.

WINS

WINS. Windows Internet Naming Service is a server process for resolving Windows-based computer names

to IP addresses.

Wireless Network Name (SSID)

Wireless Network Name (SSID) is the name assigned to a wireless network. This is the same as the SSID or

ESSID configuration parameter.

WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security enhancements

that increase the level of data protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems.
