Access Point (AP / node)
An access point is a network component to which
the WLAN clients (terminals) connect in order to exchange data with the internet or
other clients. It is identified by the SSID. The DABMAN can connect to an AP to obtain
data from various other computers in the local network or audio streams from the
internet.
DHCP
An abbreviation that stands for "dynamic host configuration protocol", DHCP enables
the dynamic allocation of IP addresses and configuration parameters of a computer to
E
be assigned with the help of an appropriate server. DHCP makes it possible to integrate
an additional network component without configuration. The DABMAN configuration
wizard enables DHCP so that no further configuration parameters have to be entered.
IEEE 802.11b/g
Designates an industry standard for wireless networks.
It is issued by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Here, b designates a
maximum data transfer of 11 Mbit/s and g designates 54 Mbit/s Our DABMAN sup-
ports these two standards.
IP (IP address) - (internet protocol)
Designates a transmission protocol widely used in computer networks. Each client
receives an IP address (like a house number) which appears as a sequence of four
groups of numbers separated by a dot (e.g. 127.80.1.34) With DHCP, this address is
assigned automatically. If the DABMAN is not configured via DHCP, the IP address can
be entered manually.
LAN
A local area network, or LAN, is a computer network in a limited geographical area
(usually a wired network).
MAC address
A MAC (media access control) address is the hardware address of every network
component and
it is used to uniquely identify each one. it is fixed and unchangeable.
Since the DABMAN is a network component, it also has a fixed MAC address. This can
be found on the bottom of the device.
