Access Point
A service allowing wireless client stations to exchange data with an existing 10BaseT hard-
wired Ethernet network.
Agent
Software at the device being controlled. The agent monitors the status of objects in an
information base called the MIB. The agent can be programmed to act on status changes and
send notification messages, called Traps, to designated IP Addresses, called Trap
Communities.
The agent can also take instructions from a remote manager to make changes to objects in
the MIB. For example, the manager might instruct the agent to change the system date and
time.
Client Station
A wireless 10Mbps computer that receives and originates Ethernet data. Client stations may
exchange data directly and/or send to other hard-wired network devices by using an access
point service.
