[. . . ] Add to Profile: Click on this button to add the SSID and its associated 23 settings into a profile. Connect: to connect with a specific Access Point, select the SSID from the list, and then click on the Connect button. Status: This indicates the state of the client. There are three options: o Associated: Indicates that the wireless client is connected to an Access Point (AP). The BSSID is shown in the form of 12 HEX digits, which is the MAC address of the AP. o Scanning: Indicates that the wireless client is searching for an AP in the area. o Disconnected: Indicates that there are no APs or clients in the area. Extra Info: Displayed here are information about the link stats and the percent of output power. Channel: The operating frequency channel that the client is using (infrastructure mode). Authentication: Displays the authentication type. Encryption: Displays the encryption type. Network Type: Displays the network type; infrastructure or ad-hoc. Sub Mask: Displays the subnet mask IP address. Default Gateway: Displays the IP address of the default gateway. Link Speed: The current rate at which the client is transmitting and receiving. Transmit/ReceiveThroughput: Displays the Tx (transmit) and Rx (receive) kilo-bytes per second. Link Quality: In infrastructure mode, this bar displays the transmission quality between an AP and a client. In Ad-hoc mode, this bar displays the transmission quality between one client, and another. Signal Strength: This bar displays the strength of the signal received from an AP or client. Noise Level: Displays the background noise level; a lower level indicates less interference. HT: High Through-Put / 802. 11 n Section BW: Channel Bandwidth GI: Guard Interval MCS: Modulation Coding Scheme SNR: Signal Noise Rate 24 Advanced Configuration The Advanced tab is used to configure Tx burst, WMM, and CCX. Wireless mode: Currently supports 2. 4G wireless only. Enable Tx BURST: Click the check box will enhance the throughput Enable TCP Window Size: Enhance the throughput if enable this function. [. . . ] PoE Power over Ethernet is the means of transmitting electricity over the unused pairs in a category 5 Ethernet cable POP3 Post Office Protocol 3 is used for receiving email Port A logical channel endpoint in a network. A computer might have only one physical channel (its Ethernet channel) but can have multiple ports (logical channels) each identified by a number. PPP Point-to-Point Protocol is used for two computers to communicate with each over a serial interface, like a phone line PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet is used to connect multiple computers to a remote server over Ethernet PPTP Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is used for creating VPN tunnels over the Internet between two networks Preamble Used to synchronize communication timing between devices on a network Q QoS Quality of Service R RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service allows for remote users to dial into a central server and be authenticated in order to access resources on a network Reboot To restart a computer and reload it's operating software or firmware from nonvolatile storage. Rendezvous Apple's version of UPnP, which allows for devices on a network to discover each other and be connected without the need to configure any settings Repeater Retransmits the signal of an Access Point in order to extend it's coverage RIP Routing Information Protocol is used to synchronize the routing table of all the routers on a network RJ-11 The most commonly used connection method for telephones RJ-45 The most commonly used connection method for Ethernet RS-232C The interface for serial communication between computers and other related devices 54 ENUWI-N3 USB Wireless Adapter 802. 11b/g/n Wireless LAN USB 2. 0 Client Adapter RSA Algorithm used for encryption and authentication S Server A computer on a network that provides services and resources to other computers on the network Session key An encryption and decryption key that is generated for every communication session between two computers Session layer The fifth layer of the OSI model which coordinates the connection and communication between applications on both ends Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Used for sending and receiving email Simple Network Management Protocol Governs the management and monitoring of network devices SIP Session Initiation Protocol.
