RF, Terms: GHz, MHz, Hz —The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), 
equivalent to the older unit of cycles per second. One megahertz (MHz) is one Million-Hertz. 
One giga hertz (GHz) is one Billion-Hertz. The standard U.S. electrical power frequency is 60 
Hz, the AM broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55–1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio frequency 
band is 88–108 MHz, and wireless 802.11 LANs operate at 2.4GHz. 

SSID  Service Set ID. A group name shared by every member of a wireless network. Only client PCs 

with the same SSID are allowed to establish a connection. 

Subnet Mask  A value that defines whether your computer communicates only within your LAN or 

communicates outside of your LAN, where it is routed out to the rest of the Internet. A Subnet 
Mask that has the same first three components (for example, 255.255.255.0) is the routing 
pattern for a Class C address. 

TCP  Transmission Control Protocol. The standard transport level protocol that provides the full 

duplex, stream service on which many applications’ protocols depend. TCP allows a process on 
one machine to send a stream of data to a process on another. Software implementing TCP 
usually resides in the operating system and uses the IP to transmit information across the 
network. 

WEP  Wired Equivalent Privacy. The optional cryptographic confidentiality algorithm specified by 

802.11. The algorithm is being used to provide data confidentiality that is subjectively 
equivalent to the confidentiality of a wired LAN medium that does not employ cryptographic 
techniques to enhance privacy..
