GLOSSARY
Access point
Transmitter/receiver (transceiver) device
that commonly connects and transports data
between a wireless network and a wired network.
Non-Root Bridge
This wireless bridge does not connect to the main
wired LAN segment. It connects to a remote wired
LAN segment and can associate with root bridges and
other non-root bridges that accept client
associations. It also can accept associations from
other non-root bridges, repeater access points,
and client devices.
Radar
Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves
to identify the range, altitude, direction, or
speed of both moving and fixed objects such as
aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, weather
formations, and terrain.
Repeater or Non-root Access Point
The repeater access point is not connected
to the wired LAN. The Repeater is a wireless
LAN transceiver that transfers data between
a client and another access point, another
repeater, or between two bridges. The repeater
is placed within radio range of an access point
connected to the wired LAN, another repeater, or
an non-root bridge to extend the range of the
infrastructure.
Root (Wireless) Bridge
This wireless bridge connects to the main wired
LAN. It can communicate with non-root wireless
bridges, repeater access points, and client
devices but not with another wireless root
bridge. Only one wireless bridge in a wireless
LAN can be set as the wireless root bridge.
Work-group Bridge
It is a client to APs or wireless root bridges.
The radio port of a WGB serves as the uplink to
the main network and the Ethernet port provides
network access for devices like PC or IP phone. |
