Appendix B Frequently Ask Question Q. Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network? A. This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network. Q. Can I play games with other members of the wireless network? A. Yes, as long as the game supports multiple plays over a LAN (local area network). Refer to the game’s user guide for more information. Q.
large wired network. If you have much more clients has to connected via wireless, please set WAP-4033 to Bridge mode. Bridge mode will be suit to connect wired LANs together. Q.

Appendix C Glossary Access Point Access points are way stations in a wireless LAN that are connected to an Ethernet hub or server. Users can roam within the range of access points and their wireless device connections are passed from one access point to the next. Authentication Authentication refers to the verification of a transmitted message's integrity. DMZ DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) is a part of an network that is located between a secure LAN and an insecure WAN.
transferring large files or uploading the HTML pages for a Web site to the Web server. Gateway Gateways are computers that convert protocols enabling different networks, applications, and operating systems to exchange information. Host Name The name given to a computer or client station that acts as a source for information on the network. HTTP HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) is the communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide Web.
Messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets. NAT NAT (Network Address Translation - also known as IP masquerading) enables an organization to present itself to the Internet with one address. NAT converts the address of each LAN node into one IP address for the Internet (and vice versa). NAT also provides a certain amount of security by acting as a firewall by keeping individual IP addresses hidden from the WAN.
Server Servers are typically powerful and fast machines that store programs and data. The programs and data are shared by client machines (workstations) on the network. SMTP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard Internet e-mail protocol. SMTP is a TCP/IP protocol defining message format and includes a message transfer agent that stores and forwards mail. SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely used network monitoring and control protocol.
delivery isn't necessary (for example, real-time video and audio where packets can be dumped as there is no time for retransmitting the data). Virtual Servers Virtual servers are client servers (such as Web servers) that share resources with other virtual servers (i.e., it is not a dedicated server). WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the de facto security protocol for wireless LANs, providing the "equivalent" security available in hardwired networks.
