802.11b IEEE 802.11 standard for transmission rate of up to 11Mbps,
operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum.
802.11g IEEE 802.11 standard for transmission rate of up to 54Mbps,
operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum.
802.11d IEEE 802.11 standard for regulatory domains.
802.11e IEEE 802.11 standard that defines Quality of Service (QoS) for
WLAN.
802.11i Standard for security improvements for 802.11.
802.11n IEEE 802.11 standard for transmission rate of up to 100 Mbps,
operates in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
802.1D IEEE MAC Bridges standard (interworking for 802.11 among
others).
802.1X IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control
(authentication).
Ad-hoc WLAN A WLAN between two wireless capable devices (normally PCs),
where no Access Point (AP) is involved.
AES Advanced Encryption Standard.
ALS Acoustic Location Signal
AP Access Point
BSS Basic Service Set. A WLAN with at least one AP that is configured
for it.
BSSID Basic Service Set Identifier. Hard-coded name of an ad-hoc
WLAN, usually the MAC address of the radio. One type of SSID
(the other being ESSID).
CCX Cisco Compatible eXtension
Device Manager Application for managing devices, editing parameters, and
updating devices with new software, without an administrator
manually needing to collect the devices, as it is done by
Centralized Management over the air (OTA). The Device Manager
application runs on an WSG hardware.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Used to send config
parameters to TCP/IP clients.
DNS Domain Name System
DSCP Differentiated Services Code Point. QoS on the Network Layer.
Used both for WLANS and LANs.
DTIM Delivery Traffic Indication Message
EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol.
EAP-FAST Flexible Authentication using secure tunneling.
EAP-TLS EAP-Transport Layer Security.
ELISE Embedded LInux SErver:
A hardware platform used for WSG modules
ESS Extended Service Set. WLAN with multiple APs sharing the same
SSID.
