The wireless network glossary contains explanation or information about common terms

used in wireless networking products. Some of information in this glossary might be

outdated, please use with caution.

802.11a

An IEEE specification for wireless networking that operates in the 5 GHz frequency range

(5.15 GHz to 5.850 GHz) with a maximum of 54 Mbps data transfer rate. The 5 GHz

frequency band is not as crowded as the 2.4 GHz band. In addition, the 802.11a have 12

non-overlapping channels, comparing to 802.11b/g's 3 non-overlapping channels. This

means the possibility to build larger non-interfering networks. However, the 802.11a deliver

shorter distance at the same output power when comparing to 802.11g.

802.3ad

802.3ad is an IEEE standard for bonding or aggregating multiple Ethernet ports into one

virtual port (also known as trunking) to increase the bandwidth.

802.3af

This is the PoE (Power over Ethernet) standard by IEEE committee. 803.af uses 48V

POE standard that can deliver up to 100 meter distance over Ethernet cable.

802.11b

International standard for wireless networking that operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band

(2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz) and provides a throughput up to 11 Mbps.

802.1d STP

Spanning Tree Protocol. It is an algorithm to prevent network from forming. The STP

protocol allows net work to provide a redundant link in the event of a link failure. It is

advise to turn on this option for multi-link bridge network.
