Ad-hoc mode
A small peer-to-peer network mode, in which wireless clients are connected to 
each other directly without using an access  point. Some of the wireless clients 
are part of the network for a limited dura tion. They are also in close proximity 
with the rest of the network. Accordi ng to the IEEE 802.11b specification, 
Ad-hoc mode is referred to as  an independent basic service set.
Antenna
A device that intercepts radio frequency  (RF) waves from the atmosphere and...

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A method of assigning a temporary IP address to a host, such as a computer, 
connected on a specific network. With  dynamic addressing, a particular host 
may have a different IP address each  time it connects to the network.
Dynamic IP address
See DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) .
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

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 comp atibility with 802.11b devices and 
WEP encryption for security.
Infrastructure mode
A LAN or other small network mode in wh ich wireless clients are part of the 
network and use one or more access point s to connect to a wired network. 
Each access point is connected to the  Ethernet network using a...

LAN (Local Area Network)
A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are 
confined to an office, single  building, or group of buildings.
MAC (Media Access Control) address
A unique number that is assigned by  manufacturers to each Ethernet network 
device. A MAC address lets a network id entify Ethernet network devices at 
the hardware level.
Router
A hardware device that connects two sepa rately functional networks using the 
same or different protocols. Routers l...

Glossary   61
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
A plug-and-play interface that allows the user to attach a device without 
having to add an adapter card and turning off the computer.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
A wired security policy defined by  the IEEE 802.11 working group. WEP 
uses the RC-4 40-bit encryption algorithm  to scramble all data before it is 
transmitted. Vendors add proprietary encryption features to their software, 
taking the encryption level up to 128 bits.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is promoted by the...
