Roaming
In an infrastructure network, this is when a wireless PC moves out of range of the previously
connected access point and connects to a newly connected access point. Throughout network
environment where access point is deployed, PCs can always be connected regardless of
where they are located or roam.
SSID
A Network ID require to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID
are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In
SNMP, agents-this can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the various
devices on the network and report to the network console workstation. Control information
about each device is maintained in a structure known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP
address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a
Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and
logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
The Temporal key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i
encryption standard fir 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.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). It
is widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its superior design of WANs. TCP
governs how packet is sequenced for transmission the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often
used generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit / Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
