Router
A router is a piece of communication hardware that ensures that data packets sent
through a network arrive at the correct destination computer (client). Often, the router
links different networks together, such as WLAN and LAN. The DABMAN is a client in
this context and receives said data packets.
SSID (ESSID)
A service set identifier (SSID) or network name is a wireless network identifier based on
IEEE 802.11.
Each wireless LAN has a configurable SSID or extended service set identifier (ESSID) to
uniquely identify the wireless network. It therefore constitutes the name of the network.
The radio automatically detects all found networks, but also has the option of manually
E
entering an SSID.
UPnP
This abbreviation stands for Universal Plug and Play and is based on a set of standard-
ised network protocols. It is used for activation of devices (stereos, printers, routers,
domestic appliances), originating from different manufacturers, via an IP-based network.
The radio is a UPnP device that can receive data with corresponding software.
WEP encryption
WEP stands for wired equivalent privacy, which describes an encryption standard for
WLANs. Naturally, DABMAN can also receive and interpret WEP-encrypted data.
WPA encryption
Like WEP, WPA is also a standard for encryption and authentication. WPA was devel-
oped to address the fundamental weaknesses of WEP encryption. WPA can therefore
be considered the secure successor of WEP.
WPS Wi-Fi protected setup is a standard for a simple and secure way of connecting to
a wireless network.
Wi-Fi
Certificate for WLAN products that operate according to IEEE802.11 standards and
are compatible with other products. The radio also meets the technical standards of the
Wi-Fi consortium.
WLAN
Also known as wireless LAN or wireless local area network, this refers to a wireless
local network used to transmit data.
