SFTP
Secure File Transfer Protocol.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
Standard that is used for communications between a program (agent)
in the network and a network management station (monitor). Defined
in RFC 1157. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1157.html
.
skey
Software key that correlates to the random number that the Bandwidth
and Authentication Manager (BAM) server generates and sends in a
challenge through the AP to the SM. The network operator can create
and, at some security risk, send this key over the air to the SM. The
SQL database in the BAM server correlates this key to QoS
information about the SM. The format of this key is 32 hexadecimal
characters of 0 to 9 and a to f. This key must be unique to the
individual SM. Also known as authentication key.
Slave
Designation that defines the role of a component relative to the role of
another. This designation both applies to a Backhaul slave that
receives synchronization over the air from another Backhaul module
(a Backhaul timing master) and applies to a redundant Bandwidth and
Authentication Manager (BAM) server whose SQL database is
automatically overwritten by a copy from the primary BAM server
(BAM master). In each case, the slave is not a product. Rather, the
slave is the role that results from deliberate configuration steps.
SM
Customer premises equipment (CPE) device that extends network or
Internet services by communication with an Access Point Module or an
Access Point cluster.
SM MIB
Management Information Base file that defines objects that are
specific to the Subscriber Module or Backhaul timing slave. See also
Management Information Base.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol, defined in RFC 1157. A
standard that is used for communications between a program (agent)
in the network and a network management station (monitor). See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1157.html
.
SNMP Trap
Capture of information that informs the network monitor through
Simple Network Management Protocol of a monitored occurrence in
the module.
SSE
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) interface to the SQL
server. Unique sets of commands are available on this interface to
manage the BAM SQL database and user access. Distinguished from
Engine. See also Engine.
Static IP Address
Assignment
Assignment of Internet Protocol address that can be changed only
manually. Thus static IP address assignment requires more
configuration time and consumes more of the available IP addresses
than DHCP address assignment does. RFC 2050 provides guidelines
for the static allocation of IP addresses. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2050.html
. See also DHCP.
