Basic Security Advanced Professional Wireless ­ Basic This screen enables you to setup your Service Set Identifier (SSID) parameters for your network. The SSID is the name of your network that is shared among all the devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical on all of the devices in your wireless network. The SSID is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters. Click APPLY to save your settings or CANCEL to cancel changes. Field or Button Network ID (SSID) Description Enter a Network ID (SSID) of no more than 32 alphanumeric characters. The same SSID has to be entered on every wireless device on your wireless network.

The default is enabled. 3-6 SECTION 3, CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION Field ESS Auth Mode Description SECTION 3 Extended Service Set (ESS) Authentication Mode. Authentication differs from Encryption in that you are establishing either an open or secure verification of communication with an AP. The options are: Open System The Open System Authentication method is used, meaning the AP you are trying to associate with will not verify the identification of your unit. You need to share the same key between your AP and client. Pre-Shared Key (PSK) Select the option that best meets your needs. Encryption Status Determines the type of security encryption algorithms for the Key Index. The options are: None WEP64 WEP128 No security Wired Equivalent Privacy - 64-bit strength (provides 4 Keys) Wired Equivalent Privacy 128-bit strength (provides 2 Keys) Select the option that best matches your needs. [. . . ] Switch On an Ethernet network, a switch filters frames based on the MAC address, in a manner similar to a bridge. A switch is more advanced because it can connect more than two segments. T TCP Transmission Control Protocol on OSI transport layer four, provides reliable transport over the network for data transmitted using IP (network layer three). It is an end-to-end protocol defining rules and procedures for data exchange between hosts on top of connectionless IP. TCP uses a timer to track outstanding packets, checks error in incoming packets, and retransmits packets if requested. SECTION 5, GLOSSARY 5-9 SECTION 5 TCP/IP GLOSSARY The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite provides standards and rules for data communication between networks on the Internet.
