parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not
tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background
noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
Static IP Address - A permanent IP address that is assigned to a node in an IP
or a TCP/IP network.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A method (protocol) used along with the
Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) to send data in the form of message units
between computers over the Internet. While IP takes care of handling the actual
delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the individual units of
data (called packet) that a message is divided into for efficient routing through
the Internet.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - The basic commu-
nication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communi-
cations protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). When you
are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a
copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send mes-
sages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP.
Throughput - The amount of data moved successfully from one place to anoth-
er in a given time period.
Topology - A network's topology is a logical characterization of how the devices
on the network are connected and the distances between them. The most common
network devices include hubs, switches, routers, and gateways. Most large net-
works contain several levels of interconnection, the most important of which
include edge connections, backbone connections, and wide-area connections.
TX Rate - Transmission Rate.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit
or 128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Workgroup - Two or more individuals that share files and databases.
