SSID (ESSID): The Service Set Identier (SSID) or network name is the identier for
IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks. Every wireless LAN has a congurable SSID or
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identier) as a unique network ID. In other words, it is the
network’s name. The NOXON recognises all found networks automatically and also sup-
ports the manual entry of SSIDs.
UPnP: This abbreviation stands for Universal Plug and Play, which is based on a num-
ber of standardised network protocols and is designed to provide cross-vendor control
of devices (stereos, printers, routers, household systems) via IP-based networks. The
NOXON is a UPnP device capable of receiving data from a suitable application.
WEP encryption: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) describes a type of encryption for
WLANs. Naturally, NOXON can also receive and interpret WEP-encrypted data.
WPA encryption: Like WEP, WPA is an encryption and authentication standard. WPA was
developed to eliminate the fundamental weaknesses of WEP encryption. WPA can thus
be seen as the secure successor to WEP.
WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a standard for an easy and secure way of connecting to
a wireless network.
WiFi: Certication for WLAN products that comply with IEEE802.11 standards and are
compatible with other products. The NOXON also fulls the technical standards of the
Wi-Fi consortium.
WLAN: Also Wireless LAN or Wireless Local Area Network. The NOXON connects to
your network via WLAN. It receives data via the local wireless network, processes them
and plays it in the form of audio les.
