Glossary

Open System

A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the access point’s

configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon, and

automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest access

point.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

(ODFM)

OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the

bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.

Repeater and Bridge

Repeater and bridge can provide an extended link to a remote access point from the

wired LAN. Access Point working in this mode could connect to another AP in

Access Point mode or Repeater and Bridge mode. Whenever there are two APs

having wireless link together (one in Access Point or Repeater and Bridge mode,

another using Repeater and Bridge mode), and also have wired link separately,

these two APs are also working as “bridging” for the two wired links.

Service Set Identifier

(SSID)

An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and functions as

a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS).

Session Key

Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a client

connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the access

point.

Shared Key

A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless network.

Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent

Privacy algorithm.

Simple Network Time Protocol

(SNTP)

SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a

Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP

server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

(TKIP)

A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids the

problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol

(TFTP)

A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.

Virtual Access Point

(VAP)

Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of Access Points present within the RF

footprint of a single physical access device. With Virtual AP technology, WLAN users

within the device’s footprint can associate with what appears to be different access

points and their associated network services. All the services are delivered using a

single radio channel, enabling Virtual AP technology to optimize the use of limited

WLAN radio spectrum.

Wi-Fi Protected Access

WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and dynamic

key management to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless

networks.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (

WEP)

WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption

algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network

traffic.

WPA Pre-shared Key

(WPA-PSK)

WPA-PSK can be used for small office networks with a limited number of users that

may not need a high level of security. WPA-PSK provides a simple security

implementation that uses just a pre-shared password for network access.
