Q

Data rate shifting

A

Ability to reduce transmission speeds without restarting a connection to accommodate for various distances from an AP. EXAMPLE: 1mbps when farthest. 11mbps when a little closer. All 802.11 WLAN technologies have this

Q

Although 802.11g devices operate on the same frequency as 802.11b devices, 801.11b devices can’t be software upgraded to 802.11g because

A

802.11g uses a different chipset to attain the 54mbps speeds at 2.4GHz

Q

Although you can use 802.11b equipment in an 802.11g environment, what happens?

A

All clients must use the 802.12b modulation technique, DSSS. This is not as efficient and results in speeds

45
Q

2 installation types of all 802.11 WLAN stamdards

A

Ad hoc and infrastructure

46
Q

Ad hoc wlan network

A

No access point. PCs connect directly to each other

47
Q

Downsides of ad hoc wlan

A

Doesn’t scale well

48
Q

BSS / BSA

A

Basic service set or basic service area. Describes the services provided to clients connected to an Ap in infrastructure mode, in a defined area

49
Q

Distribution system

A

Connection from the AP to the wired network

50
Q

SSID

A

Security Set Identifier. 32 character Id that refers to a wireless network and defines its BSS

51
Q

ESS

A

Extended service set. When two or more APs use the same SSID on different channels, with overlapping BSA of 10% or more. This allows clients to roam in the same network from one AP to another.

52
Q

Factors that affect signal strenth

A

Distance, barriers, protocols used, interference

53
Q

RADIUS

A

Security protocol that manages authorization, central access, accounting supervision. Users connect to the network by being authenticated by the radius server

Q

APs come set up with what type of security enabled by default?

A

None

61
Q

Why would we use WPA instead of basic WEP?
