6.2 Glossary 
Access Point  
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks. 
Access points combined with a distributed system support the creation of multiple 
radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility. In Macintosh terms, Access 
Point is also referred to as Base Station. 
Ad-hoc 
An ad-hoc network is a local area network or other small network, such as 
wireless, in which some of the network devices are part of the network only for 
the duration of a communications session. In the case of mobile and portable 
devices, they can be a part of the network when in close proximity to the rest of 
the network.  
Cable Modem 
A device that connects your PC to a local TV line and receives data at 1.5Mpbs. 
One of its connections is connected to your PC and the other one is to the cable 
wall outlet. It attaches a standard 10BASE-T Ethernet card to a computer and 
modulates between digital and analog signals. 
Cell 
Cell is the radio coverage area for a wireless device to communicate with an 
access point. The size of the cell can depend on the antenna, the speed of 
transmission, and the physical area. 
Channel 
Each channel refers to a different frequency level allowing for multiple 
communication paths through one device, much the same way a radio operates. 
Dynamic IP address 
A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is given out automatically from a 
DHCP Server to client computers or routers on a LAN or WAN. 
Gateway 
An entrance to a network. It associates with both router and switch whereas the 
router gives direction as data arrives at the gateway and the switch, on the other 
hand, furnishes its actual path in and out of the gateway. 
IEEE 
Abbreviation of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Founded in 
1884, the IEEE is an organization composed of engineers, scientists, and 
students. The IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and 
electronics industry. In particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local area networks 
are widely adopted. 
IEEE 802.11 Standard 
In WLAN technology, 802.11 refers to standards set by the Institute of Electrical 
and Electronics Engineers. There are three specifications in the family, 802.11, 
802.11a and 802.11b.  802.11 and 802.11b refer to wireless Ethernet LANs and
