Introduction
2.4 GHz range -- the frequency spectrum assigned by the organization such as FCC or IC to WLAN systems
Access point -- a device that acts as a communication hub linking a wireless LAN to a wired LAN
Ad Hoc mode -- a wireless network mode. It allows devices to communicate directly without being wired to a network.
Configuration -- a prepared set of conditions for proper operation of a device. Configuring the network interface is to prepare it to work with protocols available on a network.
DHCP -- a dynamic host configuration protocol. It is a protocol that assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
EtherTalk --the communication protocol of AppleTalk governing Ethernet transmissions
ftp -- a TCP/IP application protocol for file transfer
IEEE 802.11g -- an IEEE standard for the 2.4 GHz range of WLANs
Infrastructure mode -- a wireless network mode. It allows both wireless and wired computers to send print jobs to the device through an access point.
lpd -- a TCP/IP remote printing protocol application
Print queue -- a location where a print job is stored as a file, until the network interface sends the job to the assigned device
Protocol -- a rule that controls how data or information is exchanged through a network. Computers and software cannot communicate with each other using different protocols.
Remote printer -- a shared device connected elsewhere on the network, but under the control of a NetWare print server
Roaming -- the ability to move the wireless station from one access point to another without losing the connection or interrupting the service
SSID (or ESSID) -- Service Set Identifier (or Extended Service Set Identifier), a unique identifier to specify a WLAN
TCP/IP -- Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a layer of protocols that provides communications between nodes on a network
WEP -- Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for WLANs defined in the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio waves.
WEP key -- a shared key algorithm for encrypting data
WLAN -- Wireless Local Area Network
WPA-PSK(TKIP) -- a Wi-Fi security with a strong encryption algorithm as well as user authentication
