Stick & Surf
Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast,
simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio networks.
This technique allows for the straightforward transmission of
all important parameters of a radio network from the WLAN
base station to any computer that is to be added to the radio
network.
In this process the radio parameters used, including the
WLAN channel, SSID and WLAN standard used, as well as se-
curity parameters like the encryption method and network
key, are transferred almost fully automatically from the WLAN
base station to the computer with the WLAN client that is to
be connected.
subnetwork
A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divid-
ed into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnetworks
is performed when the local IP network is configured. The
subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP networks (see
glossary).
subnet mask
The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address (see
glossary) is the network address and which the address of
the computer. The network address defines what is called the
subnet.
switch
A switch is a device that connects multiple network devices
with each other, for instance through an Ethernet.
In contrast to a hub, a switch can establish direct connections
between the connected devices. This makes it possible to
send data packets directly to specific recipients.
