Roaming

Roaming extends the range of a wireless LAN by using several Access points that use the

same SSID and the same radio channel and are linked via Ethernet. The PCs in the net-

work can switch dynamically between several access points without losing the existing

network connection.

Router

A router directs data packets from one local network (LAN) to another via the fastest

route. A router makes it possible to connect networks that have different network tech-

nologies. For example, it can link a local network with Ethernet or WLAN technology to

the Internet.

Server

A server makes a service available to other network components (Clients). The term

"server" is often used to refer to a computer or PC. However, it can also mean an appli-

cation that provides a particular service such as DNS, Web server, file server or print

server.

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

The SMTP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It governs the exchange of elec-

tronic mail on the Internet. Your Internet service provider provides you with access to an

SMTP server.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol

The SNMP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It provides a simple procedure

for administering the network based on a system of shared information for manage-

ment data and network management messages (known as traps) and reports the occur-

rence of events within the monitored network (e.g. an alarm message or notification of

configuration changes).

SSID

Service Set Identifier

The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless net-

work components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be

assigned by the network operator.

Static IP address

A static IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network con-

figuration. Unlike the Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.

Subnet

A subnet divides a network into smaller units.
