local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must 
be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It 
corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name. See also Wireless 
Network Name and ESSID.

UPnP. A networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking technology. UPnP
