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
ì
bridgin
gî
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
devic
eí
s
footprint
can
associate
with
what
appears
to
be
different
access
points
and
their
associated
network
services.
All
the
services
are
delivered
using
a
