[. . . ] 1 Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, this device may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] Suppose you have a web server computer that has a manually configured address of 192. 168. 1. 101. Because this falls within the "managed range" be sure to create a reservation for this address and match it to the relevant computer. DHCP Lease Time The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the lease. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the client wishes to retain the address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed than another client may use the address. Always Broadcast If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses from the Access Point's DHCP server as expected, this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the Access Point's DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets. Enabling this option will cause the Access Point to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN. Add/Edit DHCP Reservation This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the Access Point. The Access Point will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option. Computer Name You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. IP Address: The LAN address that you would like to reserve. Page 24 MAC Address To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the Access Point's Web-Management interface from the system and click the button. A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the Access Point from the computer and click the button to enter the MAC address. As an alternative, you can locate a MAC address in a specific operating system by following the steps below: Windows 98 Windows Me Go to the Start menu, select Run, type in winipcfg, and hit Enter. Select the appropriate adapter from the pull-down menu and you will see the Adapter Address. [. . . ] Rendezvous Apple's version of UPnP, which allows for devices on a network to discover each other and be connected without the need to configure any settings Repeater Retransmits the signal of an Access Point in order to extend it's coverage RIP Routing Information Protocol is used to synchronize the routing table of all the APs on a network RJ-11 The most commonly used connection method for telephones Page 49 RJ-45 The most commonly used connection method for Ethernet RS-232C The interface for serial communication between computers and other related devices RSA Algorithm used for encryption and authentication S Server A computer on a network that provides services and resources to other computers on the network Session key An encryption and decryption key that is generated for every communication session between two computers Session layer The fifth layer of the OSI model which coordinates the connection and communication between applications on both ends Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Used for sending and receiving email Simple Network Management Protocol Governs the management and monitoring of network devices SIP Session Initiation Protocol. A standard protocol for initiating a user session that involves multimedia content, such as voice or chat. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol SOHO Small Office/Home Office SPI Stateful Packet Inspection SSH Page 50 Secure Shell is a command line interface that allows for secure connections to remote computers SSID Service Set Identifier is a name for a wireless network Stateful inspection A feature of a firewall that monitors outgoing and incoming traffic to make sure that only valid responses to outgoing requests are allowed to pass though the firewall Subnet mask Determines what portion of an IP address designates the Network and which part designates the Host Syslog System Logger -- a distributed logging interface for collecting in one place the logs from different sources. Originally written for UNIX, it is now available for other operating systems, including Windows. [. . . ]
