on both the basic requirements of network management while adding valuable 
and intuitive features that help save time by streamlining common tasks.

 - ESS (ESS-ID, SSID) stands for “Extended Service Set.” More than one BSS 

is configured to become an Extended Service Set. LAN mobile users can roam 
between different BSSs in an ESS (ESS-ID, SSID).

 - A popular local area data communications network, which accepts 

transmission from computers and terminals.

 - An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an 

infrastructure configuration.

 - The Industrial Scientific and Medical band of regulated but unlicensed 

frequencies. The size and position of the band varies among different regulatory 
agencies. In the Americas the ISM S band is from 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz and 
the ISM C band is from 5.725 GHz to 5.875 GHz which is also part of the UNII 
band.

 (Hanging Ceiling) - The environmental air space above the ceiling tiles 

of a hanging ceiling. Equipment in the plenum must be tested for fire resistance 
and low-smoke-producing characteristics.

 - Power Over Ethernet. This is an IEEE standard 802.3af that specifies how 

power is delivered over Ethernet twisted pair cables.

 -  Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. A login and password 

server standard originally developed for ISP telephone modem bank service 
accesses. RADIUS is now widely used for any general login process. 

 - A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and maintains a 

continuous connection to the infrastructure network.

 - Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of 

each other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” If the 
packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS 
mechanism will NOT be enabled.
