Glossary
Channel number
The frequency used for wireless
communications.
Wireless communications are available
only among client computers and Access
Points that use the same channel.
Client
A computer connected to a LAN (Local
Area Network). Also may be called a
client computer.
DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)
DHCP lets network administrators
centrally manage and automate
assignment of IP addresses with a network
environment.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A system that translates host names into
IP addresses.
Networks that use the TCP/IP protocol,
such as the Internet, use a set of numbers
like 192.168.0.1 (IP address) to identify a
computer.
However, since the IP address is rather
hard to memorize, DNS was developed to
allow a name like “www.sony.com” to
identify a computer for convenience.
DNS servers manage these translations
from host names into IP addresses.
