Buffalo Technology AirStation Pro WLA-AWCG Manual De Usuario

The protocol within TCP/IP that governs the break-up of data messages into 
packets from sender to destination network and sender to distribution network 
and station, and the re-assembly of the packets into original data messages at 
the destination.

A LAN is a network that connects computers in a relatively small area, such as a 
single building or campus. In other words, it is a network that serves users within 
a confined geographical area. The typical LAN band rate varies between 10 Mbps 
and 100 Mbps.

A type of semi-conductor diode that emits visible or infrared light when current 
passes through it. Visible LED’s are used as indicator lights; for example, the 
light that shows a computer, hardware device or printer is turned on. Infrared 
LED’s are used in remote-control devices.

This is a physical address specific to each network device.

The MAC address consists of six bytes. The first three bytes constitute the vendor 
code, and the last three bytes make up the user code.

The vendor code is managed and assigned by IEEE.

The network device manufacturer assigns a unique user code for each user, 
therefore, each MAC address is assigned as a physical address unique throughout 
the world. In Ethernet, frames are transmitted and received using the MAC 
addresses.

Protocols are the procedures and regulations designed so that computers can 
send and exchange information with a minimum of errors. For example, they can 
ensure efficient data transmission between two companies by establishing 
procedures for all communication conditions between them.

The AirStation Pro can connect multiple PC’s as a repeater bridge between rooms 
and buildings. The roaming function allows anyone in the office or on-the-go to
