The SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up ofalphanumeric characters. The SSID may also be referred to by its network name.StealthIn the stealth mode, an access point hides itself by not broadcasting its SSID. The client mustspecify the SSID set to the access point to detect it.Subnet MaskIP address has two components, the network address and the host address. Subnet Maskused to calculate the Subnet Mask address from the IP address. A Subnet Mask is usuallyassigned by an access point or a DHCP server of the router automatically.Example:IP Address: 192.168.127.123Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0Subnet Mask Address: 192.168.127.0TTCP/IPSuite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet or the LAN. Thisprotocol allows different terminals to communicate with each other.TKIPAn encryption protocol employed by WPA/WPA2.UUSBSerial interface designed to enable you to "hot-swap" devices, i.e., by plugging andunplugging them without turning off the power.WWCN (Windows Connect Now)Users running Windows Vista can easily create network configuration settings and transmitthem to the access point using the USB flash memory.Page 1085 of 1086 pagesAbout Technical Terms
