Appendix A:  Glossary 
Access Point -
 A device that allows wireless-equipped computers and other devices to 
communicate with a wired network. Also us ed to expand the range of a wireless network. 
Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of co mputers, each with a wireless adapter, 
connected as an indepen dent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad- hoc wireless computers operate on 
a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with  each other without the use of an access point. 
Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independen t Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer 
mode, and is useful at a departm ental scale or SOHO operation. 
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) -  A security method that uses symmetric 128-bit block 
data encryption. 
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) -  ATM is a cell based transfer mode that requires variable 
length user information to be segmented and reasse mbled to/from short, fixed length cells. It uses 
two different methods for carrying connectionle ss network interconnect traffic, routed and bridged 
Protocol Data Units (PDUs ), over an ATM network. 
Bridging - A device that connects  different networks. 
Browser - An application program that provides a way  to look at and interact with all the 
information on the World Wide Web. 
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) -  Allows the hosting of a website, FTP server, or e-mail 
server with a fixed domain name (e.g ., www.xyz.com) and a dynamic IP address. 
Default Gateway - A device that forwards Internet tr affic from your local area network. 
DHCP - A networking protocol that  allows administrators to assign temporary IP addresses to 
network computers by “leasing” an IP address to  a user for a limited amount of time, instead of 
assigning permanent IP addresses. 
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) -  Removes the Routers firewall protection from one PC, allowing it to 
be “seen” from the Internet. 
DNS (Domain Name Server) - The IP address of your ISPs se rver, which translates the names 
of websites into IP addresses. 
)  Note: 
Now, all the configurations are finish ed, it will take effect after reboot.
