These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between computers
in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an access point, it can
communicate through the network connected to the access point.
This is the mode in which computers communicate with each other directly,
rather than via access points.
Next generation standard cryptography standardized by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST).
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard
The devices that are used for different network standards from yours. Default
Gateway enables a connection with other network, by adjusting bilateral
differences such as communication protocols. If no gateway is specified for the
IP address of access destination, data will be sent to the host set as the default
gateway.
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device with
the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it automatically assigns IP
addresses to the connected equipment.
Abbreviation of PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication
protocol extended from PPP, which is used for user authentication for remote
access. MD5, TLS, S/Key, etc. are supported as authentication methods. This
protocol is adopted by the wireless LAN authentication standard IEEE 802.1X,
and available methods include EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS/EAP-LEAP/EAP-PEAP/
EAP-MD5.
Abbreviation of EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. It is one of
the wireless authentication methods compatible with IEEE 802.1X. It does not
require digital authentication, but establishes a tunnel for the authentication
process using a secret key cryptosystem, and authenticates the tunnel mutually
to improve security. Cisco's proprietary method.
Abbreviation of EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security. It is one of the wireless
authentication methods compatible with IEEE 802.1X. It performs mutual
authentication with a digital certificate by the authentication server, and ID/
password by the client. A tunnel is established for the authentication process.
Developed by Func Software in the U.S.
Abbreviation of EAP-Transport Layer Security. It is one of the wireless
authentication methods compatible with IEEE 802.1X. This authentication
method uses a digital certificate, and performs mutual authentication of client
and server using a digital certificate.
Abbreviation of EAP-Generic Token Card. It is one of the wireless authentication
methods compatible with IEEE 802.1X. Authentication is performed with ID and
password. Password is acquired from a security token.
This is the mode in which communications are performed via the access point.
Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address
corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP address. The
same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.
Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively narrow
range such as inside a company.
