BreezeMAX PRO 5000 CPE 91 Product Manual
FFT
Fast Fourier Transform. An algorithm for converting data from the time domain to the
frequency domain; often used in signal processing.
FIPS
Federal Information Processing Standards. The Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 1, called Security Requirements for Cryptographic
Modules, is a United States security standard used to certify cryptographic modules.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. A protocol for exchanging files over the Internet. FTP uses the
Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer.
GUI
Graphical User Interface. In a GUI operating system, the user responds to graphic
images on the screen instead of typing in commands in response to a prompt.
HTTP
HyperText Transfer Protocol. The protocol used to transmit and receive data over the
World Wide Web.
IDU
Indoor Unit
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE (pronounced I-triple-E) is an
organization composed of engineers, scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known
for developing standards for the computer and electronics industry. In particular, the
IEEE 802 standards for local-area networks are widely followed.
IEEE 802.3
A Local Area Network protocol suite commonly known as Ethernet. Ethernet uses
Carrier Sense Multiple Access bus with Collision Detection CSMA/CD. This method
allows users to share the network cable. However, only one station can use the cable at
a time. A variety of physical medium dependent protocols are supported.
IEEE 802.16
Also known as WIMAX. A group of broadband wireless communications standards for
metropolitan area networks (MANs) developed by a working group of the IEEE.
IEEE 802.16e
802.16e, also known as 802.16-2005, is an IEEE standard addressing mobility of
wireless broadband (WiMax). IEEE 802.16e is sometimes called Mobile WiMAX, after
the WiMAX forum for interoperability. 802.16e, based on an existing WiMAX standard
802.16a, adds WiMAX mobility in the 2-to-6 GHz-licensed bands. 802.16e allows for
fixed wireless and mobile Non Line of Sight (NLOS) applications primarily by enhancing
the OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access).
IP
Internet Protocol. The standard that defines how data is transmitted over the Internet.
IP bundles data, including e-mail, faxes, voice calls and messages, and other types,
into "packets", in order to transmit it over public and private networks.
LAN
Local Area Network. A computer network limited to a small geographical area, such as
a single building. The network typically links PCs as well as shared resources such as
printers.
LED
Light Emitting Diode.
MAC Address
Standardized data link layer address that is required for every port or device that
connects to a LAN. Other devices in the network use these addresses to locate specific
ports in the network and to create and update routing tables and data structures. MAC
addresses are 6bytes long and are controlled by the IEEE.
