Chapter 6 Glossary 6.1 Terms Related to the Network 6.2 Terms in Windows Screens Related to the Network ■ Sharing settings windows in Windows Me/98 ........................................................................123p ■ User name and password entry window in Windows Me/98 .........................................................123p ■ Identification information window in Windows Me/98 .........................................................125p WLI-CF-S11G.book 116 ページ 2002年3月1日 金曜日 午後6時16分 6.1 Terms Related to the Network ■ The following lists and describes the network-related terms in alphabetic order. Client The party which receives services in the client-server system is called "client" while the party which provides services is called "server." Information and services in the server can be used from a client computer. DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server) When configuring a network using TCP/IP, the IP address must be set in equipment including computers involved in the network. When the DHCP server exists on the network, the IP address can automatically be assigned to the computers and AirStation on the network. When such equipment with the DHCP server function as the Windows 2000 server or dial-up router exists on the network, the DHCP server function may be operating. Refer to the manual included in the Windows 2000 or dial-up router to check whether the DHCP server function is active on the Windows 2000 server or dial-up router. Alternately, inquire to the manufacturer. When the network includes only Windows Me/98/95 computers, no DHCP server exists. ESS-ID (Extended Service Set ID) The ESS-ID is an identification code required to avoid interference during communication between wireless LAN computers and the AirStation. Only the wireless LAN computers with the same ESS-ID as the AirStation can communicate with the AirStation. (The ESS-ID is not used in communication between wireless LAN computers.) The initial setting of ESS-ID in the AirStation shows the "last six digits of the MAC address" plus "GROUP" (upper-case). The ESS-ID is casesensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters and symbols. 116 WLI-CF-S11G User’s Manual WLI-CF-S11G.book 117 ページ 2002年3月1日 金曜日 午後6時16分 Firmware Firmware is software (programs) incorporated in such hardware as a router, modem, and terminal adapter (TA). Due to software integrated into hardware, it is assumed as being intermediate between hardware and software. I/O port address (Input/Output port address) Input and output ports for receiving and sending information are provided between CPU and peripheral equipment. The I/O port address is a number assigned to each equipment to distinguish which input/output ports are used by which peripheral equipment. IRQ (Interrupt Request) LAN (Local Area Network) LAN is a network established in a comparatively small area such as in one building or on the premises of a campus. LAN generally uses transmission speeds of 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps. WLI-CF-S11G User’s Manual 117 Glossary The CPU in a computer carries out processing in accordance with a request from peripheral equipment. However, it is impossible to predict when a request is issued from which equipment. If the CPU constantly monitors all equipment to receive a request, the monitoring time will be longer than the processing time. Thus, when peripheral equipment wants the CPU to execute a certain routine, a request interrupts the processing currently performed by the CPU. The CPU then specifies the equipment which issued the request using the IRQ number, and starts the requested processing. Upon completion of the interrupt request processing, the CPU returns to the interrupted processing. WLI-CF-S11G.book 118 ページ 2002年3月1日 金曜日 午後6時16分 MAC address (Media Access Control address) The MAC address is a physical address specific to each piece of network equipment. The MAC address consists of six bytes including the most significant three bytes for the vendor code and the least significant three bytes for the user code. The vendor code is managed/assigned by the IEEE while the user code is controlled by the network equipment manufacturer using its original number (without duplication). Namely, the MAC address is a unique physical address. Based on this address, Ethernet sends and receives packets (frames). Microsoft Network Client Microsoft Network Client is software installed on client computers to use Windows Me/98/2000 server services in a LAN. It usually uses "NetBEUI" or "TCP/IP" for the protocol. The TCP/IP protocol is used to connect to the Internet. NetBEUI protocol NetBEUI protocol is a network transport protocol for exchanging data in a small-scale or mid-scale LAN. NetBEUI is equivalent to the transport and network layer protocols of the OSI protocol model. These are integrated with NetBEUI to implement an efficient communication system in the workgroup LAN environment. This is supported in Windows Me/98/95/2000. Peer-to-peer connection Peer-to-peer connection is communication carried out by computers in an equal relationship with each other via LAN or WAN. Unlike a server-client system, the settings can be made to use resources (drives and folders) in other computers from any computer on the network. 118 WLI-CF-S11G User’s Manual WLI-CF-S11G.book 119 ページ 2002年3月1日 金曜日 午後6時16分 Protocol Protocol is a procedure or a set of rules used to transmit data between network terminals. For example, when communicating between two computers, the conditions required for communication can be established in a procedure to assure correctly ordered information transmission. Such requirements include which first starts sending what kind of message, what kind of message should respond to the received message, what format data should be in, what should be done in case of an error, and so on. Radio channel If several types of wireless LAN are used with different ESS-IDs on the same floor, the transfer speed of the local wireless network may be affected when communication is performed on other wireless LANs. This is because radio signals with the same frequency are being used. To avoid this problem, a different frequency (radio channel) can be set for each type of wireless LAN to communicate without mutual interference with other wireless LANs. * When communicating between wireless LAN computers, the same radio channel must be used in all the wireless LAN computers involved. Resource is a generic name for IRQ and I/O port addresses assigned to the computer's peripheral equipment (mouse, keyboard, etc.), PCI bus adapter, wireless LAN card, and such. WLI-CF-S11G User’s Manual 119 Glossary Resource (system resource) WLI-CF-S11G.book 120 ページ 2002年3月1日 金曜日 午後6時16分 TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) TCP/IP is equivalent to the network layer and transport layer of the OSI reference model, and is defined by the RFC. Therefore, execution of TCP/ IP enables different terminals to communicate each other. • Normally, application protocols such as TELNET and FTP are also included. • TCP/IP is the Internet standard protocol USB (Universal Serial Bus) USB is a new standard for connecting computers and peripheral equipment. Its features include data transfer capability at a maximum speed of 12 Mbps, compatibility with the Hot Swap feature allowing insertion and removal to/ from the USB port with the computer or peripheral equipment turned on, no conflict with other devices due to no IRQ. The USB is supported in Windows Me/98/2000. WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance) WECA is an organization which promotes the IEEE 802.11b High-Rate standard for propagation of the unified wireless LAN and ensures the mutual operation of compliant products. It was established in 1999 by six companies of Lucent Technologies, Intersil, Nokia, 3com, Symbol Technologies, and Aironet Wireless Communications that played a leading role in development of the IEEE 802.11 standard. The organization has been developing activities for wireless LAN propagation on world-wide basis. We have currently participated in the organization. The latest information about the participating companies and Wi-Fi certified products can be obtained from the web site below. http://www.wi-fi.org/certified_products.asp 120 WLI-CF-S11G User’s Manual WLI-CF-S11G.book 121 ページ 2002年3月1日 金曜日 午後6時16分 WEP [encryption] (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Setting an encryption key in the AirStation enables protecting wireless packets from being externally analyzed. To communicate with the AirStation with the encryption key set, it is necessary to input an encryption key set on Client Manager. Wi-Fi (the standard for Wireless Fidelity) Wi-Fi is a brand name of the wireless LAN standard "IEEE 802.11b HighRate" specified by WECA for marketing purposes. Wi-Fi is provided only to products that pass the WECA mutual operability test. The Wi-Fi products are assured in mutual operability with each other by WECA.
