Glossary

Ad-hoc

Devices in an ad-hoc wireless network communicate directly (“peer to peer”), without

a wireless access point. The WT-2 supports an ad-hoc mode for direct wireless connec-

tion to a computer or ftp server.

“Any” connection

Allows devices to connect to wireless network without an SS-ID. Can be used for wire-

less “hot spots” but is not as secure as connections that require an SS-ID.

Auto IP (APIPA—Automatic Private IP Addressing)

Allows devices in a network to automatically assign themselves unique IP addresses if

no DHCP server is found on the network. Auto IP uses addresses from 169.254.1.0

to 169.254.254.255 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. These addresses are neither

global nor private but are reserved for Auto IP.

BSS-ID (Basic Service Set ID)

All wireless devices on an ad-hoc wireless network share the same BSS-ID. The BSS-ID

may be up to thirty-two characters long and is case sensitive. See also Ad-hoc.

Channel

When multiple wireless LANs with different ESS-IDs are operating on a single frequency

within a given area, transmission speeds will drop. Specifying a separate channel (fre-

quency) for each network can prevent interference and increase transmission speeds

(note that all devices in the same network must be set to the same channel). In the

IEEE 802.11b/g standard, the 2.4 GHz band is divided into 14 channels, each separated

by 4 MHz.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁ guration Protocol) Server

Each device in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address. If a DHCP server is present on

the network, IP addresses will be assigned automatically. A DHCP server will not be

present on networks that consist solely of Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95

computers. DHCP may be enabled on other networks; consult the network administra-

tor or see the manual provided with the router or operating system.

DNS (Domain Name Server)

A server that contains a database of IP addresses and host names for the machines it

administers and that converts host names to IP addresses in response to queries from

clients. Each DNS can also query other Domain Name Servers for addresses not listed

in its database.

ESS-ID (Extended Service Set ID)

Multiple BSSs can be conﬁ gured to form an ESS, allowing users to roam between

wireless access points. Only devices with the same ESS-ID as a given access point can

communicate with that access point. The ESS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters

long and is case sensitive.
