Encryption - A security method that applies a specific algorithm to data in order to alter the 
data's appearance and prevent other devices from reading the information.  
Ethernet  - The most widely used LAN access method,   which is defined by the IE E E  802.3 
standard. Ethernet is normally a shared media LAN meaning all devices on the network 
segment share total bandwidth. Ethernet networks operate at 10Mbp using CSMA/CD to run 
over 10Base T cables. 
F i r m w a r e   - Program that is inserted into programmable read-only memory (programmable 
read-only memory), thus becoming a permanent part of a computing device.  
Fragmentation Threshold Value - Indicates how much of the network resources is devoted 
to recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default setting of 2,432. If you 
experience high packet error rates, you can decrease this value but it will likely decrease 
overall network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.  
F r a g m e n t a t i o n   - Breaking a packet into smaller units when transmitting over a network  
medium that cannot support the original size of the packet. 
IEEE  - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
IEEE 802.11b standard - The IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN standards subcommittee 
formulating standards for the industry. The objective is to enable wireless LAN hardware 
from different manufacturers to communicate.  
Infrastructure Mode - A client setting providing connectivity to an Access Point. As 
compared to Ad-Hoc Mode where PCs communicate directly with each other clients set  in 
infrastructure Mode all pass data through a central Access Point. The Access Point  not only 
mediates Wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood but also pro-vides  
communication with the wired network. An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN 
is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for 
wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 
IP Address  - An IP address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender & receiver of 
information that is sent across the Internet. An IP address has two parts: the identifier of a 
particular network on the Internet and one identifier of a particular device (which can be a 
server or a workstation within that network).  
I S M   b a n d   - The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth 
for unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the 
vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly 
revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands 
of users around the globe.
