Transmission Control

Protocol/Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP)

A suite of communication protocols that are used by computers or networking

devices on the Internet so that they can communicate with each other. TCP/IP uses

several protocols, the two main being TCP and IP.

10 Base-T

A wiring standard used for Ethernet networks that can transmit data at up to 10

Mbps transmission using baseband unshielded twisted pair cables. The maximum

cable length allowed is 100 meters (330 feet).

Twisted pair cable

A cable that consists of two wires twisted together. This cable is less expensive but

more brittle than a coaxial cable.

Universal Serial Bus

(USB)

Universal Serial Bus — A plug-and-play interface that allows the user to attach a

device without having to add an adapter card and turning off the computer.

Wide Area Network

(WAN)

A computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN

consists of two or more local-area networks (LANs).

Wired Equivalent

Privacy (WEP)

A wireless security policy defined by the IEEE 802.11 working group. WEP uses the

RC-4 40-bit encryption algorithm to scramble all data before it is transmitted.

Vendors add proprietary encryption features to their software, taking the encryption

level up to 128 bits.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is promoted by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA) — a

collection of companies that places a stamp of certification on Wi-Fi products. It

ensures the equipment’s interoperability will all 802.11b compliant devices.
