GLOSSARY
Numeric
802.11. A group of wireless specifications developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It
specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients.
802.11b. Operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Measurement (ISM) band (2.4 to 2.4835 GHz) and provides
signaling rates of up to 11Mbit/sec. This is a very commonly used frequency. Microwave ovens, cordless phones,
medical and scientific equipment, as well as Bluetooth devices, all work within the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
802.11g. Similar to 802.11b, but this standard supports signaling rates of up to 54Mbit/sec. It also operates in the heavily
used 2.4 GHz ISM band but uses a different radio technology to boost overall throughput. Compatible with the
802.11b.
802.11n. Wireless networking standard that uses multiple antennas to increase data rates to improve network
performance over the two previous standards—802.11a and 802.11g—with a significant increase in the maximum
net data rate from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s. It can be used in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency bands.
A
Access Point. Provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs and the wireless network. Access points are the
connectivity point between Ethernet wired networks and devices (laptops, hand-held computers, point-of-sale
terminals) equipped with a wireless LAN adapter card.
Ad Hoc Mode. A wireless network framework in which devices communicate directly with one another without using an
access point.
API. Application Programming interface - An interface by means of which one software component communicates with
or controls another. Usually used to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via
software interrupts or function calls
Association. The process of determining the viability of the wireless connection and establishing a wireless network's
root and designated access points. A MC18 associates with its wireless network as soon as it is powered on or
moves into range.
