Glossary E-2
Encryption A procedure to convert a file from its original form to one that can be read only by
the intended recipient.
IEEE 802.11 A family of wireless network standards, which includes 802.11a, 802.11b,
802.11e, and 802.11g. The original 802.11 standard was first approved in 1997
but was not very successful because it was relatively slow at 2 Mbps.
IEEE 802.11b A high-bit wireless network standard that works on the 2.4 GHz band and utilizes
DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) technology. It offers data bit rates of up
to 11 Mbps and the range is from 200 to 300 feet for maximum speed.
IEEE 802.11g A new 802.11 standard for wireless networking hardware. The 802.11g standard
specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4
GHz, backward compatibility with 802.11b devices and WEP encryption for
security.
Infrastructure mode A LAN or other small network mode in which wireless clients are part of the
network and use one or more access points to connect to a wired network. Each
access point is connected to the Ethernet network using a standard Ethernet cable.
In IEEE 802.11b specification, the infrastructure mode is referred to as the Basic
Service Set.
IP (Internet
Protocol)
The standard protocol within TCP/IP that defines the basic unit of information by
breaking down data messages into packets, routing and transporting the packets
over networks, then reassembling the packets at their destination. IP corresponds
to the Network layer (layer 3) in the ISP/OSI model.
IP address The address for a computer on a TCP/IP network. The IP address identifies a
particular machine on a network. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric
address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be 0 to
255, for example, 11.160.10.240 is an IP address. Any machine connected to the
Internet is assigned an IP address.
