Appendix A: Glossary
10BaseT
The most common cabling method for Ethernet. 10BaseT conforms to IEEE standard 802.3. It was
developed to enable data communications over unshielded twisted pair (telephone) wiring at speeds of up
to 10 megabits per second up to distances of approximately 330 feet on a network segment.
802.11
A group of wireless networking standards, also known as Wi-Fi, set by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
802.1X
A standard for port-based authentication, first used in wired networks, that was adapted for use in enterprise
WLANs to address security flaws in WEP, the original security specification for 802.11 networks. 802.1X
provides a framework for authenticating users and controlling their access to a protected network and
dynamic encryption keys to protect data privacy.
Access Point
An Access Point is a wired controller that sends data to the wireless NIC’s installed in your network
computers, and received data back from them. An Access Point is often connected to the network computer
that has Internet access, or is directly connected to an ADSL or cable modem.
Ad-Hoc mode
An old term used to describe a device-to-device network. (See device-to-device network, peer-to-peer
network).
ADSL
Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a new modem technology that converts existing twisted-pair
telephone lines into access paths for high-speed communication of various sorts.
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard. The preferred standard for the encryption of commercial and government
data using a symmetric block data encryption technique. It is used in the implementation of WPA2.
Auto-MDI/MDIX
On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port automatically senses if it needs to act as a MDI or
MDIX port. The auto- MDI/MDIX capability eliminates the need for crossover cables.
Auto-negotiate
To automatically determine the correct setting. The term is often used with communications and networking.
Bridge
A wireless device that connects multiple networks together.
BSSID
Basic Service Set Identifier. A unique address that identifies the access point/router that creates the
wireless network.
Channel
One portion of the available radio spectrum that all devices on a wireless network use to communicate.
Changing the channel on the access point/router can help reduce interference.
Client
Any computer connected to a network that requests files and services (files, print capability) from the server
or other devices on the network. The term also refers to end users.
