messages can be transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or
wide area networks.
Protocol
A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to
take place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.
SSID
A Network ID unique 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-which 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 assigned 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.
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 for 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.
