5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) 5.1 What are (and how do I find) my PC’s IP and MAC addresses? IP address is the identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 191.168.1.254 could be an IP address.
5.4 How does wireless networking work? The 802.11 standard defines two modes: infrastructure mode and ad hoc mode. In infrastructure mode, the wireless network consists of at least one access point connected to the wired network infrastructure and a set of wireless end stations. This configuration is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs forming a single sub-network.
5.5 What is BSSID? A six-byte address is that distinguishes a particular access point from others. Also known simply as SSID. Serves as a network ID or name. 5.6 What is ESSID? The Extended Service Set ID (ESSID) is the name of the network you want to access. It is used to identify different wireless networks. 5.7 What are potential factors that may causes interference? Factors of interference: Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, etc. Building materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.
5.10 What is Fragment Threshold? This protocol uses the frame fragmentation mechanism defined in IEEE 802.11 to achieve parallel transmissions. A large data frame is fragmented into several fragments, each of a size equal to the fragment threshold. By tuning the fragment threshold value, we can get varying fragment sizes. The determination of an efficient fragment threshold is an important issue in this scheme.
5.13 What is Preamble Type? There are two preamble types defined in IEEE 802.11 specifications. A long preamble basically gives the decoder more time to process the preamble. All 802.11 devices support a long preamble. The short preamble is designed to improve efficiency (for example, for VoIP systems). The difference between the two is in the synchronization field. The long preamble is 128 bits, and the short is 56 bits. 5.
5.18 What is Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)? The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP. 5.
