Access Point (AP) An interface between the wireless network and a wired network. Access points combined with a distribution system (e.g. Ethernet) support the creation of multiple radio cells (BSSs) that enable roaming throughout a facility.
GLOSSARY Bandwidth The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data transmission along the cable. Basic Service Set (BSS) A set of 802.11-compliant stations that operate as a fully-connected wireless network.
GLOSSARY Ethernet A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) A TCP/IP protocol for file transfer.
GLOSSARY IEEE 802.11 Specifies medium access and physical layer specifications for 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps wireless connectivity within a local area. IEEE 802.3x Defines Ethernet frame start/stop requests and timers used for flow control on full-duplex links.
