24Wireless access point[Infrastructure mode]There are two communication modes forwireless LAN: adhoc mode and infra-structure mode. The adhoc mode meansthat the network consists of wirelessLAN terminals only. This mode allowspear-to-pear communications amongcomputers that are equipped with ICOMwireless LAN card (See the figure shownto the right).The other mode, infrastructure mode,uses a repeater called the access pointsuch as AP-12.The infrastructure mode allows wireless LAN terminals to communicate with each othervia the access point, or with wired LAN terminals via access point at which Ethernetconnection is made. (See the figure shown below).In this mode, a router connected to the wired LAN permits wireless LAN terminals tohave access to the Internet.* Up to 256 wireless terminals can be connected through the AP-12.GENERALSL-1105SL-11 SL-11Wired LANAP-12Wireless Transmission AreaSL-11SL-11HUBEx.: Adhoc mode[Ex.: Infrastructure mode]ap_12(FCC).qxp  02.4.17  2:50 PM  ページ4

1342TERMINOLOGYDHCP serverDHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is aprotocol that allows a client in a TCP/IP networkto automatically obtain required information froma server. The DHCP server manages such networkinformation as the IP Address, Default Gateway,and Domain Name. ICOM DR-1WL or other devices with DHCPserver capability allocate an IP address, defaultgateway, DNS address, etc., to the DHCP clients(computers) when the DHCP clients start up. ESS ID (Extended Service Set-IDentifier)An ESS ID is a name used for identification whenmultiple network groups are formed within thetransmission area of a wireless network. The ESSIDs of the wireless terminals in a wireless networkgroup communicating with the AP-12 are set tothe same value as the ESS ID of the AP-12. EthernetEthernet is a set of standards and protocols forLAN communications developed by Xerox, DigitalEquipment Corporation, and Intel. Types of Ether-net include 10BASE-T, 10BASE-5, and 10BASE-2, each requiring a different cable specification. IP (Internet Protocol) addressThe IP address is a 32-bit address used todistinguish the devices in a network constructedusing TCP/IP protocol. Each network device hasa unique IP address. The IP address is usually expressed as a base-10numeral string made up of four 8-bit sections.(Example: 192.168.0.1)A private IP address is an IP address setindependently by the network administrator. It is not necessary to petition an address manage-ment institution or a provider, but a private IPaddress must be allocated according to thefollowing rule: When connecting with an external network, theprivate address must be converted into a globalIP address. The following IP addresses can be used freely asprivate IP addresses: Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255LAN (Local Area Network)A network that is relatively small in scale. Atypical LAN occupies a single office or a singlefloor of a building. MAC address (Media Access Control Address)A MAC address is a physical address (number)uniquely set into each wired or wireless LAN card.LAN card manufacturers manage MAC addressesso that no two LAN cards in the world have thesame MAC address.Ethernet uses the MACaddress to send and receive frames.TCP/IPTCP/IP is the basic protocol of the Internet and iscurrently the most popular protocol in the world. Itis supported by Windows 95/98, Windows NT,and the other major operating systems.SMTP and FTP use this protocol.A TCP/IP control panel is a standard item inMacintosh computers provided with Open Trans-port.URL (Uniform Resource Locator)URLs are used to access home pages and othersites on the Internet.Our URL is http://www.icom.co.jp.Web browserA web browser is a software application used forsearching web servers and viewing web pages.Common applications include Internet Explorerand Netscape Navigator.10BASE-T10BASE-T is a connection scheme for Ethernetconfigurations using twisted pair cable.The  “10” in 10BASE-T represents an Ethernettransmission speed of 10 Mbps and the “T”represents twisted pair cable.ap_12(FCC).qxp  02.4.17  2:55 PM  ページ42
1343TERMINOLOGY13Access pointAn access point is any device used to connect awired LAN to a wireless LAN.ClientA client is any terminal or application in a networkthat requests information or a service from aserver and receives the corresponding response.Global IP addressA global address is a globally unique address thatheld by only one device on the entire internet. Subnet maskA subnet mask is used to allow on IP addressrepresent both the network address and the hostaddress. Assuming the IP address of a certain host is192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0,if the IP address and subnet mask are multipliedas binary numbers the network address will be192.168.0.0 and the remaining 1 will be the hostaddress. TrafficTraffic refers to the flow of packets over a networkor the load (amount of data) born by the networkcircuits. When the traffic is high, data transfers may bedelayed and data may be lost. NetworkAn arrangement wherein servers, work stations,computers, and other devices are connected viacable or a telephone circuit for the purpose ofexchanging data.PacketThe unit by which data is sent and received in anetwork. A packet comprises a header portion containinginformation required for sending and receivingand a data portion containing the data being sent. PasswordA character string that a user must enter in orderto access a network. The password providesnetwork security because, once established, thepassword must be entered correctly by the useror access will be denied. HubA hub is required when the AP-12 and otherdevices are used construct a network. The hub isconnected to the AP-3 using 10BASE-T cable. Flash memoryThe flash memory is a memory device in the AP-12 to which data can be written. Information stored in the flash memory is noterased when the power to the AP-12 is turned off. ProtocolA protocol is a defined set of steps that isfollowed when data is sent and received. ap_12(FCC).qxp  02.4.17  2:55 PM  ページ43
