[. . . ] Profile ­ You can create and manage the created profiles for Home, offices or public areas. By double-clicking on one of the created profile, the setting will adapt to the configuration such as SSID, channel, and WEP settings saved by that particular profile. 14 Remove: To remove the selected the profile Properties: To view and change its settings of the profile. Then, the following screen would appear. 3. 5 About US This page displays some information about the 108Mbps Wireless Network USB Dongle utility, which includes the version numbers for Driver, Firmware and Utility. When there is new version of software available for upgrade, you will be able to identify by version numbers. 15 4. Glossary Access Point: An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks. Ad-Hoc: An independent wireless LAN network formed by a group of computers, each with a network adapter. AP Client: One of the additional AP operating modes offered by 54Mbps Access Point, which allows the Access Point to act as an Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge, thus a LAN or a single computer station can join a wireless ESS network through it. ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange, ASCII, is one of the two formats that you can use for entering the values for WEP key. Authentication Type: Indication of an authentication algorithm which can be supported by the Access Point: 1. Open System: Open System authentication is the simplest of the available authentication algorithms. Any station that requests authentication with this algorithm may become authenticated if 802. 11 Authentication Type at the recipient station is set to Open System authentication. Shared Key: Shared Key authentication supports authentication of stations as either a member of those who knows a shared secret key or a member of those who does not. Backbone: The core infrastructure of a network, which transports information from one central location to another where the information is unloaded into a local system. Bandwidth: The transmission capacity of a device, which is calculated by how much data the device can transmit in a fixed amount of time expressed in bits per second (bps). Beacon: A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to keep the network synchronized. Included in a beacon are information such as wireless LAN service area, the AP address, the Broadcast destination addresses, time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM). 16 Bit: A binary digit, which is either -0 or -1 for value, is the smallest unit for data. Bridge: An internetworking function that incorporates the lowest 2 layers of the OSI network protocol model. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. Dynamic IP Address: An IP address that is assigned automatically to a client station in a TCP/IP network by a DHCP server. Encryption: A security method that uses a specific algorithm to alter the data transmitted, thus prevent others from knowing the information transmitted. In infrastructure association, the stations use the same ESSID as AP's to get connected. Ethernet: A popular local area data communications network, originally developed by Xerox Corp. , that accepts transmission from computers and terminals. [. . . ] RTS Threshold: Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled. SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network. [. . . ]
