TL-MR3020 Portable 3G/3.75G Wireless N Router-248-Appendix D: Glossary ¾802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data  throughput  via  spatial  multiplexing  and  increased  range  by  exploiting  the  spatial diversity,  perhaps  through  coding  schemes  like  Alamouti  coding.  The  Enhanced  Wireless Consortium  (EWC)  [3]  was  formed  to  help  accelerate  the  IEEE  802.11n  development process  and  promote  a  technology  specification  for  interoperability  of  next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products. ¾802.11b  -  The  802.11b  standard  specifies  a  wireless  networking  at  11  Mbps  using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. ¾802.11g  -  specification  for  wireless  networking  at  54  Mbps  using  direct-sequence spread-spectrum  (DSSS)  technology,  using  OFDM  modulation  and  operating  in  the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security. ¾DDNS (Dynamic  Domain Name System)  -  The  capability  of  assigning  a  fixed  host  and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.   ¾DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server. ¾DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. ¾DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses. ¾Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.   ¾DSL (Digital  Subscriber Line) -  A technology  that  allows  data to  be sent  or  received  over existing traditional phone lines. ¾ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. ¾MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)- The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted.¾NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. ¾PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. ¾SSID  -  AService  Set Identification  is  a  thirty-two  character  (maximum)  alphanumeric  key

For  the  wireless  devices  in  a  network  to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.   ¾WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.   ¾Wi-Fi -  A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless Ethernet  Compatibility  Alliance  (WECA,  see  http://www.wi-fi.net),  an  industry  standards group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices. ¾WLAN (Wireless  Local Area Network)  -  A  group  of  computers  and  associated  devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.
