SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the
same SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of
TCP/IP. In SNMP, agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the
activity in the various devices on the network and report to the network console
workstation. Control information about each device is maintained in a structure
known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with
Static IP address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each
computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address
every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE
802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP,
the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs.
TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying
mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA). It is widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its superior design
for WANs. TCP governs how packets are sequenced for transmission across the
network. The term “TCP/IP” is often used generically to refer to the entire suite of
related protocols.
Transmit / Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wi-Fi Alliance is a nonprofit international association formed in 1999 to
certify interoperability of wireless Local Area Network products based on IEEE
802.11 specification. The goal of the Wi-Fi Alliance’s members is to enhance the
user experience through product interoperability. The organization was formerly
known as WECA.
