such as LANs and WLANs. The NOXON is also a client that receives data packets in this manner.
SSID (ESSID) — The Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network name is the identifier for IEEE 802.11-based
wireless networks. Every wireless LAN has a configurable SSID or ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier)
as a unique network ID. In other words, it is the network's name. The NOXON recognises all found net-
works automatically and also supports the manual entry of SSIDs.
UPnP — This abbreviation stands for Universal Plug and Play, which is based on a number of standardised
network protocols and is designed to provide cross-vendor control of devices (stereos, printers, routers,
household systems) via IP-based networks. The NOXON is a UPnP device capable of receiving files from a
suitable application.
WEP encryption — WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) describes a type of encryption for WLANs. Naturally,
NOXON can also receive and interpret WEP-encrypted data.
WPA encryption — Like WEP, WPA is an encryption and authentication standard. WPA was developed to
eliminate the fundamental weaknesses of WEP encryption. WPA can thus be seen as the secure successor
to WEP.
Wi-Fi — A certificate for WLAN products that comply with IEEE802.11 standards and are compatible with
other products. The NOXON also fulfils the technical standards of the Wi-Fi consortium.
WLAN — Also Wireless LAN or Wireless Local Area Network. The NOXON connects to your network via
WLAN. It receives data via the local wireless network, processes them and plays it in the form of audio
files.
