RF Radio Frequency. The international unit for measuring
frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older unit
of cycles per second. One Mega-Hertz (MHz) is one million
Hertz. One Giga-Hertz (GHz) is one billion Hertz. For
reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60
Hz, the AM broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz,
the FM broadcast radio frequency band is 88-108 MHz, and
microwave ovens typically operate at 2.45 GHz.
Roaming Movement of a wireless node between two micro cells.
Roaming usually occurs in infrastructure networks built
around multiple access points.
RTS threshold The number of frames in the data packet at or above which
an RTS/CTS (request to send/clear to send) handshake is
turned on before the packet is sent. The default value is
2347.
Shared Key
An encryption key known only to the receiver and sender of
data.
SIM Subscriber Identity Module card is used to validate
credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart
card that is used by GSM-based digital cellular networks.
Silent Mode Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been
configured to not broadcast the SSID for the wireless
network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order
to configure the wireless profile to connect to the access
point or wireless router.
Single Sign
On
Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.1x credentials to
match your Windows log on user name and password
credentials for wireless network connections.
SSID Service Set Identifier. A value that controls access to a
wireless network. The SSID for your wireless network card
must match the SSID for any access point that you want to
connect with. If the value does not match, you are not
granted access to the network. Each SSID may be up to 32
characters long and is case-sensitive.
