Appendix A: Glossary

Access Point - A device that allows wireless-equipped computers and other devices to

communicate with a wired network. Also used to expand the range of a wireless network.

Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless adapter,

connected as an independent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless computers operate on

a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other without the use of an access point.

Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer

mode, and is useful at a departmental scale or SOHO operation.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) - A security method that uses symmetric 128-bit block

data encryption.

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) - ATM is a cell based transfer mode that requires variable

length user information to be segmented and reassembled to/from short, fixed length cells. It uses

two different methods for carrying connectionless network interconnect traffic, routed and bridged

Protocol Data Units (PDUs), over an ATM network.

Bridging - A device that connects different networks.

Browser - An application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the

information on the World Wide Web.

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - Allows the hosting of a website, FTP server, or e-mail

server with a fixed domain name (e.g., www.xyz.com) and a dynamic IP address.

Default Gateway - A device that forwards Internet traffic from your local area network.

DHCP - A networking protocol that allows administrators to assign temporary IP addresses to

network computers by “leasing” an IP address to a user for a limited amount of time, instead of

assigning permanent IP addresses.

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - Removes the Router's firewall protection from one PC, allowing it to

be “seen” from the Internet.

DNS (Domain Name Server) - The IP address of your ISP's server, which translates the names

of websites into IP addresses.
