WLAN
Wireless LAN
Wireless LANs enable network components to communicate with a network using radio
waves as the transport medium. A wireless LAN can be connected as an extension to a
wired LAN or it can form the basis for a new network. The basic element of a wireless
network is the cell. This is the area where the wireless communication takes place.
A WLAN can be operated in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode.
WLAN is currently specified in Standard IEEE 802.11. The Gigaset USB Adapter 54
complies with Standard 802.11g.
WPA
WPA is a standard-conformant solution for greater security in wireless networks.
Intended to supersede the current WEP Standard (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA offers
more reliable encryption and authentication methods.
WPA-PSK
WPA – Pre-shared key
WPA-PSK is a form of authentication in wireless network that allows users to define their
own key. This key must then be used by all connection partners for WPA authentication.
