UNII-2
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz frequency band.
UNII-3

unicast packet
A single data message (packet) sent to a specific IP address.
W
WDS
Wireless Domain Services. An access point providing WDS on your wireless
LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices on your
wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access point to
another, the WDS access point forwards the client's credentials to the new access
point with the multicast key. Only two packets pass between the client and the
new access point, greatly shortening the reassociation time.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy. An optional security mechanism defined within the
802.11 standard designed to make the link integrity of wireless devices equal to
that of a cable.
WLSE
Wireless LAN Solutions Engine. The WLSE is a specialized appliance for
managing Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructures. It centrally identifies and
configures access points in customer-defined groups and reports on throughput
and client associations. WLSE's centralized management capabilities are further
enhanced with an integrated template-based configuration tool for added
configuration ease and improved productivity.
WNM
Wireless Network Manager.
workstation
A computing device with an installed client adapter.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a standards-based, interoperable security
enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access
control for existing and future wireless LAN systems. It is derived from and will
be forward-compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA
leverages TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and
802.1X for authenticated key management.
