This MIB provides AP information which includes AP current object
information, AP statistic data.
        
GLOSSARY
        
IEEE 802.11
Standard to encourage interoperability among
wireless networking equipment.
        
Access point (AP)
Transmitter/receiver (transceiver) device
that commonly connects and transports data
between a wireless network and a wired network.
        
Access control (AC)
To control and manage multi-APs, it will bridge
wireless and wired network.
        
Fat AP
Applied in the home, SOHO and so on, and it could
work independently without help from AC.
        
Fit AP
Applied in the enterprise environment, it will work
under the control and management from AC.
        
Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol
The short name of protocol is CAPWAP.  AC will control
and manage AP by CAPWAP tunnel protocol defined by IETF.
Also, a data tunnel will be set up between AC and AP.
        
BSS
IEEE 802.11 Basic Service Set (Radio Cell).  The
BSS of an AP comprises of the stations directly
associating with the AP.
        
Radio
The chip set to receive and send wireless signal.
        
Association
The service used to establish access point
or station mapping and enable STA invocation
of the distribution system services.
(Wireless clients attempt to connect to
access points.)
        
Basic Rate
A data rate that is mandatory for client
devices to support in order for them to achieve
successful association.
