41 Sect ion 14 | Glossary 802.11 - 802.11 refers to a family of specifications developed b y the IEEE for wireless LAN technology . 802.11 specifies the ov er- the-air inter face used between a wireless client and a base sta- tion or between two wir eless clients.
42 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration P rotoc ol) - A protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing , a device can ha ve a diff erent IP address every time it connec ts to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected.
43 is modulated with a narrowband carrier signal that "hops" in a rando m but predic table sequence from frequency to frequenc y as a function of time over a wide band of frequencies. The signal energy is spread in time domain rather than chopping each bit into small pieces in the frequency domain.
44 LAN - A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated de v i ces that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or ser ver within a small geographic area (for example , within an office building).
45 Static IP Addr ess - A permanent IP address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP netw ork. Subnet Mask - The metho d us ed for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups, or subnets. The mask is a binar y pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets .
WEP ( Wired Equivalent Priv ac y) - Is a security protocol for wire- less local area networks ( WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WINIPCFG - Co nfiguration utilit y based on the Win32 API for qu er yi ng ,d efining, and managing IP addresses within a network.
