BSSID/MAC ID
BSSID (Basic Service Set ID) is an ID unique to each InstantWave product. It is
factory set and is identical to the MAC ID (Media Access Control ID). It allows
each InstantWave product to be identified on the network.
Domain Name/SSID
A “Domain” is most commonly used to refer to a group of computers whose
hostnames share a common suffix. The domain is usually defined by the network
administrator as a segment/subnet of a large network and may be made up of
overlapping wireless cells. Wireless nodes can roam freely within the same
domain without disconnecting from the network.
Roaming
The concept is similar to that of a cellular phone moving from one base station
(one AP) to another. InstantWave offers built-in high performance seamless
roaming capabilities.
Regulatory Domain
InstantWave products use the unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band
to communicate through radio waves. Different countries offer different radio
frequencies to be used as the ISM band. There are four frequency bands defined
by IEEE 802.11: Japan (2.471GHz – 2.497 GHz), USA, Extended Japan, Canada,
and Europe (2.4 GHz – 2.4835 GHz), Spain (2.445 GHz – 2.475 GHz), and France
(2.4465 GHz – 2.4835 GHz). To use InstantWave in a country not listed above,
check with your government’s regulating body to find the correct frequency band
to use. All InstantWave products are supplied preset to the country of sale’s
frequency band.
