5 Addendum 5.1 Frequently Asked Questions 1. What’s the IEEE 802.11 standard? Answer:IEEE802.11 standard is a industrial standard of wireless network.IEEE802.11standard is used to ensure different devices of wireless network are compatible with each others. 2. What’s WEP? Answer:As IEEE802.11standard describes,WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a Data Encrpytion Mechanism based on the 40 bytes sharekey arithmetic. 3.
5.3Technical terms explanation ∷ WLAN:the abbreviation of Wireless Local Area Network. ∷ AP（Access Point）:wireless Access Point. ∷ SSID：also be abbreviated with ESSID，it’s denotation character of AP. ∷ Point to point Mode（Ad-hoc）：point to point network mode in IEEE 802.11g standard，it can be formed without AP.A few network interface cards can compose a network group,of course they must have the same SSID and channel to insure they can connect.
Figure5-2 Infrastructure ∷ IEEE 802.11b：IEEE 802.11b Standard defined the Physical Layer used as data transfers in WLAN and Medium Access Control Sublayer,it adopted 2.4GHz wireless frequency in Physical Layer and the most speed may reach 11Mbps. ∷ IEEE 802.11g：IEEE 802.11g Standard is the successor of IEEE 802.11b Standard,the data transfers speed can achieve 54 Mbps.IEEE 802.11g Standard can also resolve the disturbance problem between Bluetooth products and IEEE802.11b products.
encryption, IEEE802.11X/EAP authentication and PSK techniques,but also support AES(a new security mode)。 ∷ PSK(Per-shared Key)： Wi-Fi Protected Access（WPA）personal mechanism. ∷ TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)：a wireless security encryption mechanism of Wi-Fi Protected Access. ∷ AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)：higher encryption mechanism，it uses Symmetrical Block Encryption technique,it’s the preferred standard to use in commerce and government.The standard is used to achieve WPA2.
