to a spreading ratio. The chipping code is a redundant bit pattern

for each bit that is transmitted, which increases the signal's

resistance to interference. If one or more bits in the pattern are

damaged during transmission, the original data can be recovered

due to the redundancy of the transmission.

Dynamic IP Address

An IP address that is temporarily leased to a host by a DHCP

server. The opposite of Static IP Address.

ESS

An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs that

form a single subnetwork. See also BSS.

Ethernet

The most widely used LAN type, also known as IEEE 802.3. The

most common Ethernet networks are 10Base-T, which provide

transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, usually over unshielded,

twisted-pair wire terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Fast Ethernet

(100Base-T) provides speeds up to 100 Mbps. “Base” means

“baseband technology” and “T” means “twisted pair cable.”’

Each Ethernet port has a physical address called the MAC

address. Also see MAC address.

Event

A message generated by a device to inform an operator or the

network management system that something has occurred.

Firewall

A security software system on a router that enforces an access

control policy between the Internet and the LAN for protection.

Firmware

Code written onto read-only memory (ROM) or programmable

read-only memory (PROM). Once firmware has been written onto

the ROM or PROM, it is retained even when the device is turned

off. Firmware is upgradeable.

FTP

File Transfer Protocol is a standard Internet protocol for

exchanging files between computers. FTP is commonly used to

download programs and other files to a computer from web pages

on Internet servers.
