Glossary E-3
LAN (Local Area
Network)
A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to
an office, single building, or group of buildings.
MAC (Media Access
Control) address
A unique number that is assigned by manufacturers to each Ethernet network
device. A MAC address lets a network identify Ethernet network devices at the
hardware level.
Router A hardware device that connects two separately functional networks using the
same or different protocols. Routers look at the destination addresses on the
packets passing through them and then decide which route to send them on.
SSID (Service Set
Identity)
A group name shared by all members of an IEEE 802.11 standard wireless
network. Only wireless devices with the same SSID are allowed to establish
connections.
Static IP address A permanent IP address assigned to a computer (host) connected on a specific
network.
TCP/IP
(Transmission
Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol)
A suite of communication protocols that are used by computers or networking
devices on the Internet so that they can communicate with each other. TCP/IP
uses several protocols, the two main being TCP and IP.
USB (Universal
Serial Bus)
A plug-and-play interface that allows the user to attach a device without having to
add an adapter card and turning off the computer.
WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy)
A wired security policy defined by the IEEE 802.11 working group. WEP uses the
RC-4 40-bit encryption algorithm to scramble all data before it is transmitted.
Vendors add proprietary encryption features to their software, taking the
encryption level up to 128 bits.
