Radio Frequency (RF) Terms: GHz, MHz, Hz

The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), equivalent to the

older unit of cycles per second. One megahertz (MHz) is one million Hertz. One

gigahertz (GHz) is one billion Hertz. The standard US electrical power frequency is

60Hz, the AM broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55-1.6MHz, the FM broadcast

radio frequency band is 88-108MHz, and wireless 802.11 LANs operate at 2.4GHz.

SSID (Service Set Identier)

SSID is a group name shared by every member of a wireless network. Only client

PCs with the same SSID are allowed to establish a connection. Enabling the

Response to Broadcast SSID requests

option allows the device to broadcast

its SSID in a wireless network. This allows other wireless devices to scan and

establish communication with the device. Unchecking this option hides the SSID to

prevent other wireless devices from recognizing and connecting to the device.

Station

Any device containing IEEE 802.11 wireless medium access conformity.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask is a set of four numbers congured like an IP address. It is used to

create IP address numbers used only within a particular network.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

The standard transport level protocol that provides the full duplex, stream service

on which many application protocols depend. TCP allows a process or one

machine to send a stream of data to a process on another. Software implementing

TCP usually resides in the operating system and uses the IP to transmit information

across the network.

WAN (Wide Area Network)

A system of LANs, connected together. A network that connects computers located

in separate areas, (i.e., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide

area network.

WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance)

IEEE 802.11b wireless networking prod WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
